At the heart of the 2007 Sherco Trial 2.9 trial motorcycle, Sherco pairs a 272 cc (16.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 60.0 mm (3.0 x 2.4 inches).
On the scales, the Trial 2.9 measures 69.5 kg (153 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 625 mm (24.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,322 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 2.75-liter (0.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
