Built around Sherco's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2005 Sherco 4.5i Enduro pairs a 448.6 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 94.5 x 64.0 mm (3.7 x 2.5 inches).
On the scales, the 4.5i Enduro measures 109 kg (240 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 920 mm (36.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,485 mm (58.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
