On The Pegs Vol. 4 Issue 8 - August 2019 103 Sherco USA introduced the 2020 line up of off-road and trials bikes at a media intro in Louisville this month, featuring two-stroke and four-stroke enduro and cross-country bikes in both “Racing” and “Factory” configu- rations, as well as the Racing and Fac- tory Trials models. The two-stroke off-road bikes come in 125, 250 and 300 sizes while the four-stoke models come in 250, 300, 450, and 500 sizes. And each comes as a Racing model or a Factory model, with the Factory being the higher end. The biggest difference between the Racing models and the Factory mod- els is the suspension, with the Racing models coming stock with WP suspen- sion, while the Factory models come equipped with KYB front and rear. The two-strokes come with FMF ex- haust systems, with the four-strokes getting Akrapovic systems. The main focus for 2020 was a reduc- tion in weight. Here is a list of improvements for 2020. ENDURO IMPROVEMENT HIGHLIGHTS Link system improved on SE models • Reduced friction resulting in a more comfortable ride • Better sealing for more durability • New assembly for better handling • Axial lock for better handling
