In less than 10 years, Sherco has become a force to be reckoned with in the trials segment of the market,
constantly innovating and bringing new solutions to the table, which have shown they are the ones to follow in this market.
In 2004 Sherco went one step beyond and became the first manufacturer in the world to incorporate a 4-stroke engine in their line,
and just like in the 2-stroke engines, it was totally designed and developed by Sherco.
Sherco has seen remarkable success during this period, with highlights such as winning the SSDT and the overall Spanish Indoor Trials Championship.
With their solid position in the trials market, in 2002 Sherco started a new endeavor, buying the French manufacturer HRD, who specialized in the production of small mopeds,
and manufactured Enduro and Supermotard models, achieving outstanding competitive success in France.
In 2003 yet another step was taken and the 4-stroke CityCorp 125 was introduced.
This was a step prior to the introduction of the Enduro line which featured 4-stroke electronic injection engines in 2004,followed by the Supermotard, with 450 and 510cc cylinder sizes.
The present Sherco catalog is very extensive, with six trials models, several versions of small mopeds – both Enduro and Supermotard – and two base Enduro bikes with two equivalent Supermotards.
But the Sherco evolution continues. In 2008, the 4-stroke Sherco 3.2 is expected to finally be competitive in the trials market, after some transition years,
the competitive success it has seen in 2007 has helped it mature.
In the hands of riders such as Christophe Bruand and Dani Oliveras it has achieved wins in prestigious events in France and Spain, and the Sherco rider Graham Jarvis is presently dominating the British Championship on the 3.2.
In 2008 the new Sherco 2.5i Enduro model will be released, and it will also undoubtedly prove to be a formidable competitor in the 250 cc Enduro market.
