.08 TRAILS, ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
THE NEW LINE INCLUDES NUMEROUS IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING A NEW DESIGN

At first sight, what is most striking in the new models is the new appearance, with a design that combines white, black, grey and blue – in the 2-stroke models – and red – in the 4-strokes – forming an attractive, cohesive and appealing package. But apart from the aesthetic changes, the 2008 Sherco’s incorporate a multitude of small changes that will make them even more pleasing and comfortable to ride. On the engine side, both the 2- and 4-stroke bikes feature significant improvements in the electronic management system, they have a handlebar mounted switch that allows the rider to select one of two engine settings, a powerful responsive engine for competition or a more docile one for casual riding. Both the 2- and 4-stroke engines meet the latest Euro 3 emission standards, which put them ahead of the competition in this regard. The 2008 Sherco bikes have a new Ceriani front fork, with Kevlar protectors on the outer tubes and an anti-friction treatment on the fork tubes. The rear shock absorber has also been revised and has new settings, it also features a new bottoming-out stop that has a higher absorption capacity when the shock is fully compressed. The side stand has been replaced with one that is made out of aluminum and has been designed to fully integrate into the swingarm; it is also easier to operate from any position. Finally, there is a new, full wrap around front-brake disc guard.
