All of the models have received new chassis
components along with a totally redesigned frame that is made
completely out of Chrome-Molybdenum. As for the graphics design,
the color code has been changed to electric blue along with a
fluorescent yellow that continues to enhance the strong Sherco
identity.
Sherco ST 125: Compact and modern
The entry-level model is a 125cc motorcycle that is ideal for
the initiation of future champions. This small ST includes all
of the new improvements and changes that have been developed for
the entire range. This represents a great step forward and
indicates a strong commitment by Sherco to young riders.
The 125 is a very competitive bike that they can learn on and
improve their skills. The mechanical components have been
developed from the experience we have gained from the Sherco
Academy program.
Sherco ST 250/300: Robust with great handling
Significant design work was done to improve the chassis, giving
it a new personality. The work done by the Sherco engineers is a
major step forward for current and future developments. The main
feature is a new frame that is made entirely out of
Chrome-Molybdenum steel that combines laminated steel tubes
along with sheet metal plates that are all welded together to
create the new frame. This configuration was selected after
endurance and performance tests to prove its strength,
flexibility and lightweight.
This new configuration includes repositioning the fuel tank, it
is now in the forward position and the airbox is now in the
center position. Therefore, the exhaust has been reviewed and
redesigned in order to improve performance at low engine speeds
and provide a smoother evacuation of the exhaust gas.
The adjustments that have been made to the size of the available
engines has allowed the character of the range to be refined.
The 300 is the weapon of choice for competitors and experienced
riders, who want a demanding and powerful motorcycle. The 250
meanwhile is reserved for intermediate riders who are looking
for a certain sweetness in acceleration and an easier bike to
ride.
