Engineered by Sherco for the minibike, cross motorcycle segment, the 2004 Sherco 0.5 Trial features a 49.3 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.3 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 14.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the 0.5 Trial measures 34 kg (75 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 530 mm (20.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,560 mm (61.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability.
