At the heart of the 2002 Sherco 0.5 trial motorcycle, Sherco features a 49.3 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration.
On the scales, the 0.5 measures 69.5 kg (153 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 640 mm (25.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,327 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3-liter (0.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
