The entry-level model is a 125cc motorcycle that is ideal for the younger riders. 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 the riders of the future.
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
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 design includes repositioning of the fuel tank, it is now in the forward position and the airbox is now in the center.
Therefore, the exhaust has been 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 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.
