2024 Sherco 500 SM Factory Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Sherco's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2024 Sherco 500 SM Factory pairs a 478.2 cc (29.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 98.0 x 63.4 mm (3.9 x 2.5 inches).

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 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.7-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
