Two-stroke exhaust valves:
The bike has a new SBS electronic exhaust valve to control
the valve position – it’s under that black cover on the left side
of the engines. Sherco say their engineers have developed the
programmable valve system with the R&D department and
test riders. For 2022 the bike gets a new gear selector which
basically makes it more easily removeable thanks to a little bit of
feedback from their race teams and customers.
The bike has a selectable switch on the bars as standard to
adjust from full power to a softer setting for different conditions.
Gasses are expelled via an FMF Gnarly expansion chamber,
paired with an FMF Powercore 2 silencer.
Kayaba suspension
KYB suspension has always been standard on the Factory
edition. The Factory range gets red stickers to signify the higher
spec closed cartridge KYB units which have a race-oriented
setting.
Brakes
For 2022 the front brakes on the Factory models have a
Galfer disc or rotor. Sherco say the combination of Brembo
master cylinder and pads with the Galfer rotor improves
performance. There’s also a smaller handlebar pad on the Oxia
bars which, Sherco says is less cumbersome.
Other COOL features (Get it?) on the Factory are the fan and
coolant expansion chamber as standard. Ask anyone who does
the tough stuff – if you’re into hard or extreme enduros climbing
hills and getting stuck in rocky kloofs, this addition is a good
one.

Because he knew that we were getting the bike, Ben fitted
a rather large Hyde skid plate and exhaust guard, with PSP
products protecting the front and rear discs, chain and radiators.
Local is lekker!
