Sherco trials bikes find new home

Mojo Motorcycles is now the sole Australian distributor for all genres of Sherco machinery having been announced as the official importer for the firm’s range of trials bikes.

Until recently, the trials side of the brand in Australia was managed by former top-level trials rider Don Murray under the Moto Central banner, but the latest move will see the niche machines distributed through the same importer as the Sherco-branded range of enduro bikes.

The move happens one month ahead of the release of the 2019 trials line-up, expected to hit Aussie dealerships in December 2018, and marks the manufacturer’s 20th year of operation after launching in 1998 with trials bikes before expanding into the enduro bike world six years later.

Two 250cc machines and two 300cc machines will form the 2019 line-up with the 250 and 300 ST-R Racing will carry a recommended retail price of $9990 and $10,290 respectively, while the higher-spec 250 and 300 SFT Factory models will be available for a recommended retail price of $10,690 and $10,990 respectively.

“We’re really excited and very proud to offer Sherco trials together with our very successful Sherco enduro range,” Sherco Australia’s Stephen Tuff said. “Offering trials and enduro together solidifies the brand and streamlines the dealership network.”
