SHERCO 2021<br />
FACTORY &<br />
RACING LINE<br />
Sherco was first out of the gate, when their 2021 model<br />
lineup was made public mid last month. This French<br />
company certainly takes the fight to the big dogs<br />
out there, with exciting new developments, bikes on<br />
podiums <strong>and</strong> an incredibly loyal customer base.<br />
Locally the br<strong>and</strong> is imported by Sherco South<br />
Africa with their home base in Centurion near Pretoria.<br />
2021 Sherco upgrades.<br />
We have watched the Sherco br<strong>and</strong> grow steadily<br />
locally– especially in the coastal regions of SA. We<br />
often ask for demo models to ride <strong>and</strong> review – but<br />
they seem to sell out so quickly that – well it’s been<br />
a while… the new bikes look pretty cool!<br />
The innovative French firm has just released their<br />
2021 models – at a time when, thanks to lockdown,<br />
we have barely even seen the <strong>2020</strong>’s.<br />
The factory in France is running at full strength,<br />
the company expects 2021 to be the biggest year<br />
yet in its 25 year history. Rather than a ground<br />
up change, the bikes have undergone significant<br />
upgrades…<br />
The off-road bikes are divided into two ranges:<br />
• The “Racing” line <strong>and</strong> the upgraded “Factory” line.<br />
• Both include a 125 two-Stroke (the 125SE), a 250<br />
two-stroke (250SE) <strong>and</strong> a 300 two-stroke (300SE).<br />
• The four-strokes offered are the 250SEF, the<br />
300SEF, the 450SEF <strong>and</strong> the 500SEF.<br />
