Built around Sherco's trial motorcycle platform, the 2004 Sherco 2.9 Trial utilizes a 272 cc (16.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 60.0 mm (3.0 x 2.4 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the 2.9 Trial measures 69.5 kg (153 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 635 mm (25 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 3.1-liter (0.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
