2021 Sherco 250 SE Racing Technical Analysis, Chassis Review & Ownership Overview
At the heart of the 2021 Sherco 250 SE Racing enduro - offroad motorcycle, Sherco utilizes a 249.3 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout designed for responsive throttle control.

On the scales, the 250 SE Racing measures 105 kg (231 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and dimensional geometry center around a 950 mm (37.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced cornering agility and high-speed highway composure, and 355 mm (14 in) of minimum ground clearance. The 10.4-liter (2.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Structurally, the 2021 Sherco 250 SE Racing is built around a Chrome-Molybdenum steel semi-perimeter chassis with front suspension handled by WP XPLOR fork, setting on the top (compression, rebound), 48 mm diameter (300 mm / 11.8 in travel) and rear damping managed via WP Monoshock progressive rear suspension with aluminum control rods, adjustable for high and low speed compression and spring pre-load (330 mm / 13 in travel). Braking performance is delivered by single disc (260 mm rotor diameter) up front paired with single disc (220 mm) at the rear. Factory rolling stock mounts a 1.60-21 front tire and a 2.15-18 rear tire, sizing the contact patch for predictable turn-in grip and replacement tire availability.
