As an enduro bike, the 2023 Sherco 50 SM-R makes a lot of sense. The 50cc engine produces 5.4 hp, which suits the bike's character well. With an 850 mm seat and an 83 kg weight, it is best suited to trail riding and genuine off-road work, although it is not a comfortable long-distance road bike. A good option if it matches the way you ride.
