Sherco, which has manufacturing plants in both France and Spain, has released its line of 2017 off-road bikes. The company is probably best know for its trials bikes but is coming on strong in the enduro, or off-road, segment. Revealed here are the 2017 Sherco 250 and 300 SE-R Factory two-stroke off-road bikes, and the 2017 Sherco 250, 300 and 450 SEF-R Factory four-stroke off-roaders. In trials, there is the 125, 250 and 300 ST models. No word yet on prices or when they’ll be showing up on showroom floors, but we expect it to be very soon.
