SHERCO 500 SEF FACTORY
Master of the open spaces with loads of torque and speed
The 500 is the latest in a line of enduro machines specifically designed for enduro riders. But also proven in many cross country races won in 2027 in KZN cross country series by Bradley Cox, definetely nou slouch when it comes to high speed racing. The semi-perimeter frame, as is the case throughout the range, is a welded configuration made from chrome molybdenum steel.
The latest generation DOHC engine is compact, less noisier, and reduced weight delivering more smoother power with less inertia. It is equipped with a Synerject injection system that was specifically developed by Sherco. It is a high-tech system that allows for very precise fuel and air distribution, combining liveliness and escalation … The bike delivers endless smooth power, which can be toned down by the map switch fitted as standard equipment.
