2022 Sherco Racing & Factory Enduros

The Sherco Enduro range will see the Racing models on the receiving end of a big boost in 2020, with the addition of new fully adjustable KYB forks on both two and four-stroke models, alongside the same KYB shock seen on the higher spec Factory models.

Michael Poynton – Sherco Australia Director

“There is massive momentum behind Sherco, both in Australia and globally, and the 2022 Racing and Factory models will only continue that surge. And with all the Racing models now fitted with KYB suspension, Sherco covers all bases better than ever: the Factory models for those who want the ultimate performance hit, and the Racing range for those who enjoy a ‘Sunday saunter’ mixed with more demanding trails.”

On the back of record sales in 2021 and inexorable momentum not only in Australia but globally, Sherco has focussed heavily on its base-model ‘Racing’ range for 2022, including the 250 SE and 300 SE two-strokes and the 300 SEF four-strokes.

Other updates to the 2022 Racing models include a new graphics kit featuring in-mold technology, new handlebar grips and different Brembo brake pads for more progressive engagement.

Standard highlights on the Racing models include a black comfort seat, black frame guards, black Excel rims and Michelin tyres.

All-out performance is the backbone of Sherco’s Factory enduro line-up, with the moniker a byword for premium components such as a KYB closed-cartridge fork, 6mm AXP skid plate, Galfer front disc, and expansion tank and radiator fan.

There are seven models in the 2022 range: a quartet of four-strokes (250 SEF, 300 SEF, 450 SEF and 500 SEF) and three two-strokes (125 SE, 250 SE and 300 SE).

The 125 SE has also now been fitted with an electronic power valve to bring it into sync with its larger capacity two-stroke siblings.

Updates across the entire Factory range mirror those on the Racing models, with new graphics with in mould technology and the more progressive Brembo brake pads. Also new is diamond-paters grey Selle Dalla Valle seats, as well as a new Neken handlebar pad.

In addition, the 450 and 500 four-strokes also receive a new and lighter Sherco exhaust, a new crankshaft and larger bearings, revised ignition mapping and enhanced cooling via tweaks to the cylinder head.

Pricing for all the 2022 Shercos is expected shortly, with Factory models beginning to arrive from mid-July 2021 and the Racing models from September 2021. Riders are urged to contact their local dealer for more information, as the availability for each model will vary, so don’t miss out!

Sherco EB12 & EB16 electric balance bikes

Sherco’s electric balance bikes are a great way for young riders to begin their two-wheeled journey, with two versions available, the EB12 and EB16, ensuring different size and skillsets of riders are covered.

The environmentally friendly and silent electric balance bikes have been a hit since they were released onto the Aussie market. They are not only a heaps of fun, but provide a masterclass for riders to learn the fundamentals of motorcycling – balance, hand-eye co-ordination, braking techniques and visual scanning.

On sale from all Sherco dealers for $649 (EB12) and $749 (EB16) respectively, the machines have height-adjustable seats, simple twist-and-go throttles, selectable low/full power modes, and there’s even a non-powered mode for riders to gain extra confidence before motors are introduced.

The EB12, with its 12-inch wheels, is suitable for children between the ages of two and six, or weighing up to 34 kg, with little or no experience on a balance bike. Children should have an inseam of more than 14 inches/35 cm to adequately touch the ground with a slight bend in the knees for optimum sizing.

The 16-inch wheeled EB16, meanwhile, is suitable for children between five and six years of age (18”/45 cm inseam), or weighing up to 40 kg, with some experience on a balance bike or who are taller and need a larger platform.

The EB12 is powered by a 100W brush motor and a 2.6 Ah lithium-ion battery, which gives approximate top speeds of 7.5 km/h and 15 km/h (low/full power modes). The EB16 is paired with a larger 170W brush motor and a 5.2 Ah lithium-ion battery for top speeds of 10 km/h and 21 km/h (low/full power modes).

Both bikes come with an Australian 240V household charger (as well as an owner’s manual and toolkit).

Running time for both models is up to 60 minutes of constant use, however battery range will vary depending on speed setting, rider weight and riding conditions. Recharge time is up to three hours via an external charge port for convenient recharging. Additional batteries are available ($139 for 2.6Ah or $199 for 5.2Ah – both are compatible with either model) for a quick and convenient swap to keep the fun times rolling.

Selectable low/full power modes, a fully enclosed chain cover, and a power cut-off switch built into the brake lever which automatically cuts power if the rider pulls in the lever – preventing a panic throttle twist.
