BRAND NEW BLUE
As we are sure you are all well aware, the vast majority of the changes made to the new Scorpa model are carried on to the 2023 Sherco range. It is not just an upgraded Sherco; it is all brand new but retains its trademark blue colour. Both manufacturers are in a unique position where they can share and work together with the new EFI technology, which is, without a doubt, the most exciting change in the engine. Many other significant changes have been made in the new engine’s electronics and mechanics, all focused on improved performance and reliability. Ease of maintenance has been addressed in the new frame design with the removable twin front frame spars giving ease of access to the engine.

During the press conference, the Sherco personnel made a strong point about the fact that they had taken some of their focus off their past trials’ success. This was not just the competition’s success, but they also wanted to work hard to put the manufacturer’s name back in place in the important sales market.
The Sherco name came to life in the trials world in 2000, where it soon established itself and became a popular machine with riders at all levels of riding. They have tasted success in the Scottish Six Days Trial, dominating the event from 2003 through to 2007. In the FIM World Championship, Emma Bristow has delivered eight women’s world titles keeping the Sherco name at the very top of the pile. Keep your eyes open for the new 2023 Sherco machines as they become available sooner than later.
