Sherco 2016 300 SE-R
Appearing on the market in 2014, the Sherco 250/300 offer next generation two-stroke technology.
They are fitted with a very light electric starter system. Ideally located to lower the center of gravity, it is no heavier than a kick-start system. An electronic unit governs exhaust valve opening based on the ignition curve to provide an immediate response to the slightest touch on the gas. Progressivity at low throttle, force at mid-throttle, and significant power at high throttle, the Sherco 2-stroke engine block is there when you need it.
The chassis uses the proven formulas that made the brand’s 4-stroke engines famous: rigorous directional stability alongside significant maneuverability for the enduro. This year, fitted with a new FMF exhaust, the 250 and 300 increase yet again their equipment quality.
