The evolution of the Sherco Trials model lineup has gone a step
forward with the new ST2013, a bike which has received a
significant amount of refinement brought about by attention to
detail in order to provide the ever increasing number of Sherco
customers with a motorcycle that will give them the best
possible quality and performance.
The past few years have seen the ST model range completely
renovated, the ST2013 is a further refinement of that ongoing
evolution. The 2013 models have received a complete new look and
the technicians have made several changes to the bike that are
the direct result of information obtained in the field test of
world class racing.
The new Sherco ST2013 goes one step further in the evolution of
trials bikes. In addition to the spectacular new appearance,
there are many technical enhancements housed in the new bike
that makes it much better than its predecessors. The new
appearance of the ST is more in tune with racing which gives it
a unique character, breaking with the trend of recent years and
gives the new Sherco motorcycle a completely different look. The
bikes continue to maintain the Sherco corporate colors of blue
and yellow, but the latter has assumed a more prominent
position, giving more color to the chassis and various
decorative details.
An example of the attention to detail is confirmed by the new
yellow hubs and Morad rims that are anodized a graphite
matte-finish which adds elegance to the wheel assemblies. The
base decoration is complemented with a completely redesigned set
of decals that are made from a material that is highly abrasive
resistant to help protect sensitive areas of the bike from
abrasive damage, such as the front fork tubes, the swing arm and
the frame near the foot pegs. The motor has also received a
touch of color with many details in Matt Black, which completes
the homogeneous image of the dynamic attractive new Sherco
ST2013.
Small details make the new ST2013 an exquisite bike, a
considerable improvement in quality has been achieved which sets
a standard for the competition. Numerous evolutions have taken
place in the engine. Outward changes include the redesign of the
kick start lever and the gearshift lever, they are more
ergonomic. The right side of the crankcase has been redesigned
as well as the skidplate in order to provide greater protection
to the underside of the engine from large impacts. A new
carburetor setup in conjunction with an adjustment to the
thermodynamics of the cylinder have increased engine performance
at all speeds and under every condition. The clutch has also
received some minor improvements, such as the inclusion of an
additional radial bearing to more effectively transfer power
from the engine which results in increased performance.
he chassis has been thoroughly tested, analyzed and modified in
the high stress areas. This revision has produced a frame that
has greater rigidity and stability and allows the rider to face
any obstacle with a greater degree of confidence. The suspension
units have also received revisions, the Tech front fork has new
calibrations and the R16V rear shock incorporates a new spring
lock washer. The new forged aluminum foot pegs are now
adjustable by means of a new socket design. This allows the
rider to position the foot pegs in the optimum position for
their individual riding style.
The ST2013 models are equipped with the new Formula brake kit
that is the result of a joint effort by the technical
departments of both Sherco and Formula. The result is a new unit
that includes new internal parts, piston, rod and ball joint
(link) that have been perfected to permit smooth movement of the
lever in any position, maintaining the pressure and force
necessary for effective brake operation. This new set is the
most advanced and evolved ever to be installed on a trials bike,
it also incorporates an adjustable neutral position that allows
the rider to adjust the lever position to suit their individual
requirements. The actual lever has an ergonomic geometry that
fits perfectly in your hand. The entire Formula package is
completed with the latest evolution of the rear brake caliper.
The ST2013 Sherco is manufactured at the plant in Caldes de
Montbui (Barcelona) the forecast for the 2.9 version of the
bike, which is the reference mark for the trials bikes, is 3,000
units. The model lineup will be completed with 80, 125, 250 and
other models such as the limited edition Cabestany Replica. With
the release of the ST2013 Sherco celebrates its 14th anniversary
as a manufacturer of motorcycles. At this time the
Catalan-French company has positioned itself as a benchmark in
the trials bike market, with a market presence in 55 countries,
a presence that has been reinforced in recent years with the
addition of the enduro range. All Sherco products are developed
and manufactured entirely by the Sherco company with a
significant effort placed on R&D, which ensures that all of our
products are kept in a constant state of evolution.
