2011 Sherco SM 0.5 Black Panther Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Sherco's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2011 Sherco SM 0.5 Black Panther features a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. 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 SM 0.5 Black Panther measures 89 kg (196 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 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.
