sherco70 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi, Home is Pacific Northwest USA. Ride a Sherco 290 X-Ride on local single track off-road trails here. Have enjoyed trials since the 70's and owned a couple Sherpa T's then. Wish I had them now. Have been attending the area trials events this year and feeling I need to add a trials machine to the garage again. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_t Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Welcome Art, I have an X-Ride and added a ST250 (to replace my GG200) last year. It is great having a real trials bike for events and the X-Ride for trail riding... I have run the X-Ride at events but it does make it more difficult to do well... of course Jarvis can ride trials events on a full out Enduro machine so anything is possible. Are you on the Sherco forum as well? Cheers, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherco70 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hello Michael, Yes, I am also on the Sherco forum. The X-Ride is just what I want for trail riding, but I would not do well or enjoy myself riding it at trials events. A local dealer has a new Beta EVO 200 that I'm going to test ride. What new generation trials machines I have tried are so different from what I have owned. Just have to find one that suits the level that I will compete at.

michael_t Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 It was a really close call for me between the EVO200 and the ST250. If you have been riding since the 70s I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the modern trials machines they are all great fun but giving them a try is your best bet... good luck !!!
