Technical Overview
2005 Sherco Champion 50 CC SM Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Sherco for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2005 Sherco Champion 50 CC SM relies on a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. 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 Champion 50 CC SM measures 83 kg (183 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 1,970 mm (77.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability.
