FIRST LOOK: 2025 SHERCO FACTORY RANGE

The 2025 Sherco Factory Enduro range has rolled out a heavily updated off-road line-up with cutting-edge improvements; featuring new in-mould graphics, new plastics shape, a redesigned LED taillight, and a more efficient airbox. Other key improvements include a lighter chassis, upgraded cooling system, enhanced ergonomics, and advanced electrical components. Model-specific enhancements, such as the new Akrapovic exhaust system for the four-strokes and repositioned fuel taps for the two-stroke models, ensure tailored performance across the range. The range has just been put to the test at the world media launch in France, where our test rider Damian Smith has been smashing baguettes and dodging trees – and hopefully not the other way around. Stay tuned for a full review in the coming weeks.
