With a wide range of trial bikes on their books, in 2002 Sherco entered the geared moped market, producing the Enduro and Supermotard models, which have quickly made a name for themselves in this market segment, thanks to victorious competition campaigns and award-winning promotional championships.
At the end of 2002, Sherco opened their second production plant at Nimes France, with a clear objective: to become the production and development center for a future Enduro model line, this is now a shining reality, Sherco’s first factory in Caldes de Montbui (Spain) produces bikes exclusively for the trials market.
2003 saw another milestone pass: the launch of the CityCorp 125 4T series, with two models, Enduro and Supermotard, representing the company’s entry into the booming 4T market, this was just the beginning of another vital step in Sherco’s history: entry into the world of large displacement enduro motorcycles. This become a reality at the beginning of 2004, with the official introduction of the new Sherco Enduro 4.5, a one hundred percent Sherco bike equipped with an advanced 450 cc 4T motor with electronic fuel injection, and electric start, this bike was designed, developed and manufactured integrally by the Sherco team, it will be joined in 2005 by its 250 cc sister, also boasting a brand new 4T especially designed for this bike.
The constant expansion of the Sherco range of models was a result of a desire to meet the varying needs of the world wide off-road market, evidence of this is the development of the new 4T trials bike which will be introduced in September of 2004. This bike will be equipped with a 4T motor built entirely by Sherco and developed at the PXC site, the Sherco Trial Competition Department, which is directed by Josep Rovira Paxau. This introduction will show that Sherco has developed modern 4T engines for all its product lines, confirming the brand’s vision of the future and the viability of the project started by Marc Teissier six years ago.

For yet another year, the Sherco Trial Technical Team has been working to again offer the most complete and effective trials bike model line available. The Sherco 0.5, 0.8, 1.25, 2.0, 2.5 and 2.9 have each received individual updates and changes necessary to keep them in the technological vanguard that they are used to.
But, as well as these updates, the 2005 Sherco Trials model lineup received a truly illustrious addition with the new motorcycle equipped with a 4T engine wholly developed by PXC, the Sherco Trial Competition Department which is directed by Josep Rovira Paxau, once again showing its professionalism with the lightest and most compact 4T trials bike on the market.
This new engine, developed in secret over a two year period, has undergone all of the reliability tests imaginable, with the aim of offering the best possible performance. This is the only engine of this type in the world designed specifically for the trials market, meaning that it is lighter and smaller than the competition, with ideal performance for trials competition.
It has a lightweight 4 valve SOHC, liquid cooled, short stroke, 317 cc engine, developed to offer better levels of power, better engine torque, better traction and efficiency than those achieved to date by 2T designs. This was achieved after thorough research into current trials needs, with clear objectives set forth from the very beginning. Because the engineers were able to start with a clean sheet of paper and not have to modify an existing engine design, they were able to develop a superior engine that is specifically designed for the trials application. The result is the creation of a motorcycle which will undoubtedly set a new standard in trials in the future.
