SHERCO is known among off-road enthusiasts for its super-agile trial and enduro motorcycles. They are based on self-developed engine and frame designs. The focus is on weight savings, traction and efficiency. Significantly, the first SHERCO ST 2.5 built was sold in February 1999 at the Swiss Trial, in MOTOREX’s home country. SHERCO was founded in 1998 by former trial pilots Marc Teissier and Andreu Codina.
Today, the family business has its headquarters in Nîmes (F) and is managed by Marc Teissier. At the site, around 150 employees produce almost 20,000 motorcycles every year. SHERCO is present on five continents, in over 74 countries and with more than 1,100 sales outlets. This orientation fits perfectly with MOTOREX’s future-oriented two-wheeler strategy.
SHERCO has an impressive track record with its characteristic motorcycles to date. This is demonstrated by the many titles and well-known pilots in the Enduro, Extreme Enduro, Rally Raid and Trial categories. SHERCO currently has 10 world championship titles to its name! Since 2009, participation in the Dakar Rally has also been at the top of the racing program.
This year, Lorenzo Santolino (#15) shone with the stage win early in the 3rd stage and Rui Gonçalves (#19) with an excellent 2nd place in stage 10. Both know how important race-tested lubricants are on the 7,700 km in the toughest conditions.
MOTOREX has a strong presence in motorcycle racing worldwide. Together with its partners, MOTOREX has won 177 world championship titles to date. The secret of success lies in the combination of maximum performance and the highest level of reliability. A reassuring feeling when you demand everything from your machine. Whether for the engine, transmission, fork, brake system or chain – you can rely on the products of the MOTOREX MOTO LINE. They are now also part of the wide SHERCO range; from the 50cc two-stroke to the 500cc rally bike.
“The professional lubrication support provided by MOTOREX is central to our racing and business development; this is the only way we can use our full potential”
Marc Tiessier – Founder/Chairman of the Board, SHERCO Motorcycles
The mutual exchange of knowledge and experience is a key factor in the continuous development of the cooperation partners. This applies to the entire spectrum of cooperation – from motorsports to the initial filling of the series motorcycles to the supply of the SHERCO production facilities with innovative metalworking fluids from MOTOREX. These perfectly cover the impressive vertical range of manufacture. While factors such as precision, efficiency and cost-effectiveness play a role in metalworking, in racing it is fractions of a second.
When it comes to developing a stable, high-performance engine oil for an engine, the 19-strong team of chemists at MOTOREX is in its element. Hundreds of parameters, formulas and empirical values are just one step on the way to the goal. The R&D department has a modern laboratory with high-precision analysis and testing equipment at its disposal. If required, sample formulations can be produced in small quantities and evaluated in tests. Oil analyses also allow a look “inside the units” and provide targeted findings. In order to impress as a specialist in lubrication technology on the test bench of the motorcycle world, this is exactly the mix that is required.
“SHERCO and MOTOREX are very popular, especially among young bikers. The two brands complement each other perfectly. The in-depth collaboration that has already begun will lead to mutual appreciation and further professionalization. I am very much loooking forward to a long-term collaboration!”
Edi Fischer – Chairman of the Management Board MOTOREX AG
