MITCH LEES:
I struggled to
gel with this
bike. mainly
due to the
super-low handlebar and,
with the bike feeling so
small, it just threw my
whole riding style off.
The power is quite racey
and revvy and you have
to be on your game to
get the most out of it.
The suspension is more
race-orientated. Would be a
great grasstrack bike.
BEN GRABHAM:
I noticed right
away that
the bike isn’t
as powerful
as the others. The engine
feels restricted and could
do with the Factory’s pipe.
Out of the five, it definitely
feels like the most racey of
the bunch with the low ’bar
and the punchy power off
the bottom.
SHAUN LONEGRAN:
The handlebars
are really low,
I struggled to
work with that.
I like to stand up and it’s
difficult to do that on the
Sherco. The engine is good,
I found it revved fast and I
didn’t really notice it being
20cc down on the other
bigger bikes.
CHRIS SPRINGETT:
The power of
this bike is
aggressive. In
the open stuff
it was great, but I found it
a little much in the tighter
stuff. The suspension is
plush. I had to roll the ’bar
forward as I just couldn’t
get comfy on it with it in
my lap.
