Sherco 2.9 .03 Series wins the Motociclismo Master trial.  
     
 
 

The Motociclismo Master Trial 2003 was conducted in La Clau, Sant Llorenç Savall (Barcelona), on December the 7th. The Master trial is probably the truest comparative test of any because it's run by the end user. 50 riders from three different categories Yellow (beginner) Blue (intermediate) and Red (advan>ced) participated in the test. Each rider has to ride a course consisting of five sections with each brand in the test.

Also, every rider is asked, just after he finishes each lap, to give a score on fifteen questions about the bike he just tested.

The bikes in the test were: Beta REV - Gas Gas 280 TXT Pro - Montesa 315 R - Sherco 2.9 03 Series - Scorpa SY 2003.

 
     
 

The results of this years test could not be better for Sherco, winning the section scores by a large margin and winning seven of the fifteen opinion points. Here are some quotes from the report by Joan Carles Orengo:

 
 

"The Sherco won the sections scores last year, just two points ahead of Montesa, but this year there is a big gap, and never before in the Master Trial has a brand won by such a large margin"

"The Sherco 2.9 was tops in seven of the fifteen punctuation questions, and its clutch is absolutely outstanding"

"This year's results prove the consolidation of the Sherco 2.9….."

   
 
   
 

Josep Rovira Paxau, the Sherco top man in trials stated:

 
 

"This result is the fruit of many years of state of the art work"

 
 

"I'm very happy with the results; it's a fantastic incentive for all of our factory worker's and suppliers"

 
     
 

As in other years the organization of the test was the responsibility of the Moto Club Cent Peus in collaboration with MOTOCICLISMO.
