As usual all the top Sherco dealers will be in attendance with bikes to test and it is expected there will be at least 10 enduro bikes so everyone will get the opportunity to test ride the bike of their choice. It it, however, advisable to contact your Sherco dealer to book a ride to avoid disappointment on the day. More details regarding the dealers attending will be announced shortly.
