2019 Sherco 50 SM-RS America Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2019 Sherco 50 SM-RS America enduro - offroad motorcycle, Sherco pairs a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.3 x 39.0 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches).

On the scales, the 50 SM-RS America measures 83 kg (183 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
