The 2008 model year marks a significant milestone in the history of Sherco as a company. We have been designing, producing and marketing world class trials motorcycles for Ten Years.
In those ten years we have shown ourselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the competitive market of trials motorcycles, we have also expanded into the Enduro, Supermotard and small street bike market. The trials model line has also been expanded to include models for every enthusiast, starting with the kid 50 all the way up to the 3.2 4T.
Here are some of the notable accomplishments we have achieved in these short 10 years:
- Outright victory in the 1999 SSDT on a new motorcycle
- Additional SSDT victories in 2003 and 2004
- Countless international, national and local trials championships
- Excellent results in the new to us, Enduro and Supermotard Championships
- The design, development and release of the new 3.2 4 T making Sherco the first company to offer a complete line of 2T trials motorcycles along with a competitive 4T. The 4T has been campaigned in the World Championship this year with excellent results.
Sherco has arrived at this place in our industrial life by listening to our customers and spending the time, energy and resources to continue to develop the motorcycles that our discerning customers demand. We will continue to innovate and develop new and unique products in order to continue to meet the requirements of our many loyal fans, to whom we wish to say a resounding “Thank You” for making us the successful company that we are.

Decimo modelo de Sherco trial
Desde su fundación en 1998, Sherco ha sido una demostración de fuerza emprendedora en su corta trayectoria industrial. En poco menos de 10 años, Sherco se ha erigido como la referencia mundial ineludible en el campo del trial, innovando constantemente y aportando nuevas soluciones que han marcado un camino a seguir en este segmento, gracias a un laborioso trabajo de investigación y desarrollo. Con una amplia gama de modelos desde la kid 50 hasta la 290, en 2004 Sherco dio un paso más y se convirtió en la primera marca mundial en incorporar un motor de 4 tiempos a su gama, y como en los motores de 2 tiempos, con un diseño y desarrollo completamente propios. Los éxitos en todos estos años han sido notables, destacando las victorias en los SSDT, o el campeonato de España absoluto de trial indoor. Gracias al sello de calidad y servicio altamente valorado por los usuarios de los productos Sherco, se ha conseguido una gran solidez en el mercado y un gran prestigio internacional. La trayectoria y trabajo se ha venido reflejando en los modelos que Sherco ha puesto en el mercado durante estos diez años, con un gran esfuerzo en I+D paralelamente a la presencia con pilotos de élite en las más exigentes competiciones a nivel mundial, lo cual se ha traducido en constantes mejoras en los modelos de serie, al alcance de todos los miles de aficionados que confían en los modelos de trial de la marca Sherco.
