Marking trails is a trying task on a big cc bike. Just when you get going, you have to stop to put up a marker - so the constant start, stop puts a bit of pressure on the bikes in terms of heat and starting. Despite the fact that neither bike has a kick-starter, both Sherco’s were flawless, the batteries never ran down, and we did not experience any overheating. The four-strokes fan quietly kicked on and off for the duration. We never had the two strokes fan kick in. Ditto on the rocks. The inclusion of a cooling fan for more extreme stuff is a non- negotiable. Sherco has done a good job on both bikes, without stealing too much power from the battery. HOWEVER... we would still prefer a kickstart included for just in case... What is the difference riding the bikes? Well – the two stroke is significantly quicker off the line, through the gears and up to the top. It’s a wildly exciting bike to ride, nimble and sharp as a razor. They feel a bit lighter than the four stroke - and this is all immediately noticeable when you get going. We specifically aimed this bike at the gnarliest rocks that we could find, ground clearance is excellent and the bottom end torque for rock hopping is exactly what the doc ordered. The 300 four stroke is also very nimble and easy to manouver - but it is infinitely more controllable, which will appeal to many riders out there. It’s just that little bit more torquey than a 250 four stroke, which makes it really good whether you want to go fast or trundle along slowly. The bike feels slightly heavier in the rocks, but the nice grunt makes it very easy to tackle step-ups and so-on.
