Sherco 2.5 and 2.9 2T

2.9

Available in 250cc (the 2.5) and the 272cc (the 2.9) editions, Sherco's mainstay two-stroke powered competition machines have two distinct personalities. The 2.5 is smoother, softer of the bottom, while the 2.9 provides maximum power for point-and-shoot, top-level sections. The 2.5 tends to be more popular in Europe, while the 2.9 is the more common choice of US riders. A very smooth clutch is one of the stand-out attributes of the Shercos, easy engagement, and wonderful feel. The bikes are now fitted with the newest Ceriani forks, replacing the Paolis which were found on the bikes in the past.
