Sherco has achieved a tremendous amount of success at the Scottish Six Days Trials in the past decade and have always put considerable importance on this Trial and to show their commitment to this event they have just announced details of a special Scottish Six Days model to commemorate the centenary of this famous event.
The SSDT is the benchmark test of excellence in off-road motorcycling and has been since its inception in 1909. It is a mythical competition that is extremely important in the world of observed trials.
The SSDT Sherco Replica has a very limited production of 100 bikes and will be available in both 250 and 290 models.
Over the years all the top personnel have ridden the Scottish including the boss himself Marc Tessier, top Sherco tuner Josep Paxau, Export Manager Andreu Codina and Production Manager Jordi Alonso. The knowledge any feedback Sherco have gained from competing in this event has given them an insight into producing a bike with some special parts to benefit the rider. These include an extended rear mudguard with a number board, protection to the cylinder and other necessary areas that are prone to damage and many other modifications to benefit the rider during the trial. The bike will also feature Marzocchi 40mm front forks. The main attraction though must be the special tartan graphics with a black and gold SSDT Centenary Badge on the tank.
Sherco have had great success in the SSDT, winning the event for the first time in their debut year with Graham Jarvis in 1999. Since that time they have won the event no fewer than six times in twelve attempts with Jarvis, Sam Connor and Juan Pons, who won the event as the Best First Timer!
Having twice ridden in the Scottish I can vouch for the fact it really is the best trial in the world and the centenary trial will be something special.
