The new Sherco 2012 range has just debuted on the enduro market with its completely revisited 250 and 300 models as well as the aesthetically-improved 450 and 510.
The new SE2.
5i and SE3.
0i will be featuring both a new engine and an new semi-perimeter frame made from chrome molybdenum, much lighter than the previous one and with improved lateral stiffness.
It also comes with a brand new swing-arm, larger air filters, an aggressive exhaust, a redesigned 8l fuel tank, new plastics as well as a more modern and ergonomic design.
The improved suspension is fully adjustable and now features front and rear units, WP rear shock absorber and a 48 mm diameter WP front fork – firmly attached to the new Neken CNC-machined triple clamps.
In terms of brakes, the new range has adopted a Brembo system – same brand as the hydraulic clutch master cylinder – and the overhall result is a more fluid yet firmer ride.
The engines’ ignition map has been reviewed and the cylinder head has been reinforced, which has improved its performance in extreme conditions.
The 300 version also now boasts a double bridge piston and a new clutch.
Bigger models are slightly different in terms of appearence, with both a new front mudguard and front fairing.
Sherco also provides the chance to customize its range by adding few accessories such as the lithium battery, the xenon light, different frame protectors and protection foams.
