You guys didn't forget much. Only that they come with Neken triple clamps, KYB suspencion, fmf Gnarly system, skitplate, vforce 4, the best stock carb in the market, Electric power valve, griper seat, electric fan, exel rims, map switch, galfer rotors and easy seat release. Did I forgot something? 🍻😂

[@davidcrouse6670]

And ignition systems that tend to fail... And you get to pay out the a$$ for parts that you can only buy from your sherco dealer. There were 6 sherco 300s in my riding group (we race extreme east pro and a class). Now there's one. Amazing motor.

[@ShercoUSAOfficial]

@@davidcrouse6670 The coil issue has been solved. Sorry that you had those issues. On the parts, it is pretty standard practice to have OEM parts sold by your OEM dealer. I may be wrong, but I can't think of an example where OEM parts from any brand are available at an aftermarket parts store. More and more aftermarket companies are making Sherco parts in much bigger numbers thanks to our ever growing demand. Internal and external parts like pistons to plastics.

[@ShercoUSAOfficial]

@Rafy 600. You nailed it but don't forget about the full Akrapovic exhaust systems on all 4T's.

[@rogermty1971]

A lot of the 2 stroke Shercos that I see here in Monterrey Mexico have SmartCarbs and they are not cheap. I have a 2014 Husqvarna and think if I’m going to spend all that money would like to have oil injection, so don’t have to mix gas anymore.

[@ablejohnson]

SOLID!

[@ewestre1]

I have had two Sherco 300 2-strokes and 2 x 300 4-strokes since 2015. My current 2017 mod. 300 4-stroke has 150 hours on it, and I just replaced the piston. As my dealer said; you might as well just put it right back in there! It was almost like new. Valves were well within spec also. Anyway, here is a list of Sherco (and WP, Brembo) parts that have failed on the bike after 150 hrs of riding in snow, sleet, sun, wet, dry, training, racing, low rpm's, high rpm's and so on: 1. No a single item. 2. See item 1. Except from wear and tear items (brakes, tires etc) the bike has performed flawlessly, whilst my riding buddies on some orange bikes have struggled with electrical issues (a few had to buy new electrical sets and replace the whole wiring system), TPI issues on 20 hr two-stroke (having to replace cylinder, where the orange company took no responsibility under warranty), failing speedo/hour meters, cracked cylinder on 4-stroke. Oh wait, I had to replace one thing on mine; the headlight bulb. Sorry I forgot about that.

[@ablejohnson]

You know why KTM's or Orange, So when they break down in the woods and you come back later to find them they'll be easier to locate 🤣

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

The 300 carbed 2 stroke is the signature motorcycle for had core trail riding and reliabiliy in my book. And I am a 72 years old rider. Just my experience speaking for myself.

[@twowheelpilot]

Not wrong sir. I would also say a 250 two stroke also.

[@5351factory]

Love my new Sherco SE 300 factory. To me it feels like im sitting on a YZ, the suspension is great. The Electronic power valves make power delivery so sweet, and loving the map switch too.

[@robsonenduro3316]

Sherco replaced my KTM 2t a year ago, no regrets. great bike, no issues,

[@Hardrakk187]

Jay, the big question is, would you buy one and own one to replace a KTM?

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

At high elevation I rrun the stock pilot, a 158 main and a NECJ Suzuki needle in pos # 2. And I set the float level down just a tiny bit. The bike runs awesome !!

[@mnovinger]

Bought a 21 se 300 coming off a 450r Honda...sherco is amazing...virtually stall proof....buy one!!!

[@ablejohnson]

I have a 2020 300 se factory, could not be happier with it. My friend has a 2019 250 se factory, also very bad ass. Ride hard Enduro, single-track mostly. It's a ripper and has tons of low end grunt. Use the jd jet kit when I go ride higher altitudes like moab, Colorado etc. The kayaba suspension is top notch out of the box. You won't be disappointed if you get one.

[@rhinogames9856]

Absolutely love my 21 300sef Rode as a kid picked up a cr250 about 12yrs ago to ride trails. Definitely the wrong bike for that lol. So I was nervous going 2t again. Super happy with my 300 4t.

[@viperracing2889]

The 2021 Sherco 300 SE Factory is at the top of my list. 😊

[@benmartin6476]

I bought a 2022 husqvarna te300i this year and I’m buying a 2022 Sherco 300se factory as a bday present I can’t wait

[@stormxz600]

How do they compare?

[@jessarellanes6648]

Looks pretty rad.

[@bricehale6593]

Pretty nice looking bike

[@firffighter]

Great to see you guys trying Sherco. Sherco has really done an amazing job in the market and offers a lot that check boxes. Top components and you can't beat full KYB's! . Carb is easy and reliable. I've owned 15 KTM's, 4 Gasgas, 2 Beta's, yz250fx, YZ450FX and my next bike will be a Sherco. The dealer network is growing and easy to find parts.

[@aircooled2068]

I personally would not buy one again! something like beta or ktm will be much better built and hold its value

[@firffighter]

@@aircooled2068 Beta's build quality pales in comparison to Sherco.

[@jetdr]

I love Sherco, only problem I have is no one within a 4 hour drive carries these where I live... The 300 4 and 2 stroke would be awesome since I primarily do enduro and single track

[@matthewkantola8638]

So many great bikes today. I own a Beta but would love to ride a Sherco. How is the seat height?

[@bernardogarza842]

what about the Neken triple clamps, fmf Gnarly system, skitplate, vforce 4, the best stock carb in the market, Electric power valve, griper seat, electric fan, exel rims, map switch, galfer rotors and easy seat release. Did I forgot something

[@davidevans3832]

Curios your thoughts about the 450 for mountain trail riding and then putting a Timbersled kit on in the winter? As I understand it, this 450 is really good on the trails since it was not derived from an SX model bike? I have a KTM 300, great in the summer as you know and a little under powered with the Timbersled.

[@spencerclark2269]

Heck yes! Great bikes and super awesome time riding them.

[@rhinogames9856]

Have u had a chance to get on the 250sef. Would love to have heard on that model

[@SteveHofsaess]

Just purchased a 22 Sherco 4 stroke 300 factory edition in Colombia,, the bike looks great,, but when they change to a LED front light,, this is 2022

[@husaislander4838]

The 300 2 stroke will be my next bike next year

[@christophesergi7344]

The same for me but 300 SE-F Factory.

[@OKFrax-ys2op]

Did you pull the trigger?

[@LuckyNikitaBoba]

Can the 450 cruises at 65-70mph? Dual Sport?

[@dadge2500]

I was more interested in hearing about the 300 4 stroke which you did not really talk about other than a few words?

[@nategoss34]

Sherco is killing the game, best bike for the money

[@bradl45]

I'd really like to rent a 300 4t for a couple days in Taylor park!!! Wish Yammy had a 300fx!!

[@ablejohnson]

I just got back from Taylor park with my 2020 300 SE factory it was such an awesome place to spend for a week riding through the woods and mountains.

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

Unless they make a 500cc 2-stroke moto weapon, I aint gonna.

[@brettrichardson9762]

So what do 300 two-stroke be a good all around bike for a single track open desert and a little bit of sand dunes?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Awesome

[@Madtigertv]

PRICING on the Factory Model Sherco's are more in line to the "premium" Edition KTM's aka Erzberg editions. The racing edition ore so as the floor model KTM. Sherco's best deal and race bike outta the box.

[@KoltFin]

Not in utah, the standard ktm is about $600 more then a factory sherco(not including dealer fees,taxes, etc)

[@nightrider4370]

Now you're on a four stroke!

[@nastysoda9212]

Who makes the engines? I see Sherco is a french company, but are the engines made in France or are parts sourced from China? Nearly everything is aftermarket high end stuff but I can't find any info on the engines.

[@stevenlapine1961]

Any thoughts on the 20 sherco 500 sef bikes?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Email Jay directly with any questions. Contact info in About tab.

[@dankruger2890]

From what i have heard and seen. The 22' Sherco is a ready to ride woods bike, right out of the box. Hop on and go riding. My 2020 KTM has $3,000.00 worth of stuff and then its ok to go riding, nothing wrong with that-right

[@user-ls5wh9io3c]

Amazing bikes

[@dennycoulombe106]

Cool spec bikes, would love to try one for sure. The Sherco dealer here needs to brush up on his product knowledge. The intro nearly lost me.

[@frankjallen765]

Why do the split screen can't watch 4 at once wtf

[@scootypuffjr.]

I would Sherco if I didn't have to get on a plane to go see one.

[@choppahh15]

The best

[@fz671]

6:50-7:00 they got the mapping on the fuel injection really good by using a carburator? really🤔🤨🙄😑

[@robh3267]

Biggest problem with these bikes is actually finding a dealer with them in stock.

[@thejoyofsuspension]

We’ve got some more coming in soon at MotoXperts in Spanish Fork, UT if you’re looking to pick one up.

[@bbarker5766]

That's the problem with every brand really.

[@ShercoUSAOfficial]

You are unfortunately right Rob. The supply chain and logistical issues stemming from Covid are hurting all manufacturers, but especially Sherco with the very high growing demand. the 300 and 250 2t's are almost like unicorns right now.

[@rafy600]

@@ShercoUSAOfficial if you have a 125 let me know

[@ShercoUSAOfficial]

@@rafy600 If you post that you are looking in the US Sherco Riders group on Facebook the dealers will see it and they will let you know how they can get it to you.

[@TwistedTriggerEnduro]

Never tried a Sherco, but heard great things! Just found your channel and subscribing to see more. If you wanna see some single track riding, check me out. Looking forward to your next video.

[@zardportugal]

Sherco is a great option.

[@Briank-ef5iq]

Blue Beta ! Seriously I would be happy with Sherri Beta ktm husky Yamaha anything new is nice!

[@zackdavis751]

If you want a carbureted two-stroke get a beta they’re cheaper and better

[@aircooled2068]

If their trials bikes are anything to go by, I bought 2 brand new and right from the get go had many problems! Very poor build quality,I mean unbelievably poor! Coolant leaking before bike was even started! Water pump seals last no length of time,and both bikes clutch slaves came with scratches in the bore resulting in no clutch in less than 30 min ride time! enjoyed riding them but lots of silly problems due to poor QC Lots of good bikes out there, sadly this is not one of them.

[@nategoss34]

This guy failed to mention all the aftermarket parts it comes with when comparing it to the “$300 less” KTM 😂

[@rafy600]

Yeap thats about 4000 if you include fixing suspencion on the other brands

[@straightnobraker4677]

Ya, I had no idea. I have a 300 xcw would much rather have this bike, it comes with all the stuff I changed plus the same suspension as on my yz which is easily the best suspension in the world

[@ShercoUSAOfficial]

@@straightnobraker4677 our bikes come standard with....Comex radiator fan, AXP skid plate, KYB suspension and shock, Excel Takasago Rims, Full Akrapovic exhaust on 4ts and FMF on 2ts, Sella Della Valle gripper seat, Map switch that you can really notice a difference, Galfer rotors coupled with Brembo calipers and hydraulics, AFAM sprockets with D.I.D chains, Khien Carb, electronic power valve that is tuned to every single RPM on the power curve, Coolant catch can and easy release seat with easy to work on air filter and battery.

@@straightnobraker4677 no doubt best suspension in the game! But definitely look into one on your next purchase. I absolutely LOVE my 300 2t

[@nategoss34]

@@ShercoUSAOfficial that map switch is night and day! I was pleasantly surprised at how much more power and speed it has when the switch is flipped

[@sfade6217]

Say what? 300 2t for open and 250 2t for tight?? Its just the opposite.

[@thejoyofsuspension]

I personally like the mellower hit of the 250 in the tight, technical terrain but it really is a matter of preference. I’ve ridden the 250 in wide open desert and I love the fast revving, playful characteristics of it across the board. The 300 has more grunt but really isn’t necessarily beneficial to all riders unless you’re a bigger guy or if you just have to have that low end grunt/hit.

[@anthonyfox5337]

Wrong ! The Factory model Sherco`s have KYB suspension and the Racing models have WP Suspension.

[@tcmx712]

2022 models both have kyb now but the racing has an open chamber vs closed for the factory

[@ShercoUSAOfficial]

Thorn is correct. We are only importing a few of the Racing models. Those are all 2T's. 99% of our bikes imported are the Factory edition.

[@motorola60]

Are these your opinions, or are you just parroting what your dad tells you?

[@terryfinch9319]

Haw can he sai it's the same as a ktm xc 😃 the KTM is tip and sherco is carb . It the sherco was the same why bother buying a sherco just get a ktm 😜

[@flatoutbastage432]

Lots of things to fail on a KTM when you are way out in the woods…Not to mention KTM is oil injected but the injection system worked so poorly they recommend mixing gas 100:1. Obviously that’s not every KTM. I’ve rode KTM for 15 years and can say these Sherco’s are a great bike that KTM might need to check their manufacturing techniques to compete with.

[@thejoyofsuspension]

These are all one take shoots and no prepared dialogue so my apologies for not being more clear & concise. The Sherco SE 250/300 are most comparable to the KTM 250/300XC with the big differences being the KYB suspension, Keihin carb, electronic powervalves, oem equipped fan, coolant catch, AXP skid plate, FMF Gnarly pipes, etc.
