2019 Sherco 300 ST-R Pros, Cons, Recalls & Verdict
- Potent 294cc 2-stroke trials engine produces bottomless low-end torque, easily pulling tall gears through rocky creek beds without stalling
- Durable Tech 39mm steel-stanchion forks absorb punishing hits while resisting rock scratches and gouges better than coated aluminum
- Dual-map CDI ignition switch allows the rider to toggle between full-power dry mode and a softer wet-map ignition curve for slippery mud
- Proven Braktec master cylinders and calipers deliver exceptional braking feel and featherlight hydraulic clutch modulation
- Outstanding value proposition for expert clubman riders seeking open-class trials power without factory-edition price inflation
- Formidable low-end torque can fatigue less-experienced riders during long multi-lap club events if throttle control isn't pinpoint accurate
- Slightly heavier front end compared to the titanium-equipped FST Factory model due to steel fork tubes
- Standard cylinder head lacks the swappable combustion domes found on the FST Factory edition
- Minimalist trials chassis with 2.4-liter fuel tank eliminates any utility for conventional trail riding without aftermarket accessory tanks
- High compression makes kickstarting stiff, requiring positive commitment to turn over the 300cc piston
The 2019 Sherco 300 ST-R delivers open-class trials muscle in an honest, durable package built for demanding club competitors and expert section riders. Its 294cc engine produces the kind of effortless low-rpm grunt that pulls riders out of tricky situations with minimal clutch slipping, while the wet/dry ignition switch keeps traction manageable on rain-soaked roots. Although it foregoes the exotic titanium components of the FST, its robust steel forks and reliable Braktec brakes make it a tough, dependable companion across tough seasons. A muscular, confidence-inspiring trials machine for riders who demand big-bore power.
No official safety recalls reported for this model year.

On the scales, the 300 ST-R measures 68 kg (150 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 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced cornering agility and high-speed highway composure, and 355 mm (14 in) of minimum ground clearance.
Chassis suspension hardware on the 2019 Sherco 300 ST-R is configured for predictable road feedback with front suspension handled by WP Xplor fork (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, Brembo (260 mm rotor diameter) up front paired with single disc, Brembo (220 mm) at the rear.
Routine workshop maintenance calls for recommended SAE 10W-40 / 10W-50 Synthetic 4T (API SN / JASO MA2) engine oil (1.40 litres (1.48 US quarts)), NGK CR8E / CR9E spark plugs, cold tire pressures of 1.0 bar (15 psi) front / 1.0 bar (15 psi) rear. Buyers cross-shopping the 2019 Sherco 300 ST-R in the Enduro - Offroad segment most frequently benchmark its horsepower, seat height, and curb weight against the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin DCT (2017), Honda Africa Twin DCT (2016), Yamaha TT-R110E (2018).
