The more I look at this bike, the more I like it.
I like the muffler. It appears to be an Akrapovic muffler that all the EWC guys are running. FYI, KTM is charging $700 CDN for that same muffler in their hard parts catalog. No kicker is a bit odd, Sherco is obviously VERY confident in their e-start set up. I like the WP suspension. Easy to get parts for and just about every tuner will know what to do with the forks and shock. I could see one of these in my garage. |

That's a beautiful bike. I like the clean look of the dark blue and white plastic's. But I'm with Nambo Trev on the no- kickstart issue. And especially now that I ride with the auto clutch.

Enduro bikes are made and designed to be raced on the track, hence the small tanks and seats like planks, and now the absence of a kick starter. All about weight saving. I know we all use enduros for trail riding but that's not what they are for, trail bikes like xr's and the like are designed for trail riding but they handle like pigs so we use enduro bikes instead. As for converting mx bikes for trail riding, well I wouldn't use one in the uk where you are never far from a road let alone in the USA where as you say you can be 40 miles from a road, think that's asking for trouble..

The great news is that you can still get the GasGas estart with a kickstart back-up.
Choices are good!

It is really cool to see that the Euro brands are focusing on building awesome enduro machines while the big 4 Japanese are focused more on MX bikes. Makes it great for us to have so many choices of top notch off road bikes!! |

I am thinking the same thing. I have high hopes for the electronic powervalve giving us a smooth 4T like power curve, as opposed to the "hit" that a std open/close powervalve gives. This is assuming that it is a multi-stage PV opening.
