Built around Sherco's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2006 Sherco Shark 50 Enduro relies on a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the Shark 50 Enduro measures 83 kg (183 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 900 mm (35.4 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. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
