Swift and Manueverable!

Significant design work was done to improve the chassis, giving it a new personality. The work done by the Sherco engineers is a major step forward for current and future developments. The main feature is a new frame that is made entirely out of Chrome-Molybdenum steel that combines laminated steel tubes along with sheetmetal plates that are all welded together to create the new frame. This new configuration includes repositioning the fuel tank, it is now in the forward positionand the airbox is now in the center position. The exhaust has been redesigned in order to improve performance at low speeds and provide a smoother evacuation of gas. The 300 is the weapon of choice for competitors and experienced riders, who want a demanding and powerful motorcycle.
