Sherco Sign Euan Sim on Three-Year Deal for TrialGP
As part of it’s commitment to youth development, Sherco is proud to announce the signing of rising Scottish trials star Euan Sim, on a three-year deal to represent the brand at the FIM World Championship. Euan will ride the Trial-3 class in 2025 and move into the Trial-2 class for 2026/2027 seasons.
Euan’s deal with Sherco comes after an impressive international season aboard the Sherco 125 STF-Factory model. His performance exceeded expectations and Euan becomes the perfect example of how riders can progress through our Youth Academy Teams around the world and into our official factory team.
“I am thrilled to be joining Sherco for the next three years,” said Euan Sim. “It’s a dream to become a factory rider for an amazing team like Sherco. I am so grateful for this opportunity and I would like to thank everyone who has helped me get this far and continues to support me. I collected my new Sherco 125 STF Factory bike today and it feels amazing, I look forward to getting the 2025 season started.”
In his debut international season at the Trial3 level, Sim made a huge impact, earning his first GP victory in Belgium and a silver medal in the FIM Trial World Championship taking second overall. With his natural talent, dedication, and the backing of the official Sherco Factory team, Euan is poised for even greater achievements in the coming years.
Sherco’s Trial Team Manager, Albert Casanovas, commented, “Euan’s potential is undeniable. We have a strong plan in place to continue his development. His dedication and rapid progress have made him one of the most exciting young riders in the sport. We’re proud to have him as part of our team and can’t wait to see what he will achieve in the TrialGP series.”
Look out for Euan as he begins his 2025 FIM Trial World Championship at Round 1 in Spain this April – Good Luck Euan!
Collaboration with potential : Sherco x Motorex
SHERCO is proud to announce a long-term partnership with Swiss’s leading lubrificant company, MOTOREX, as the official lubrificant partner, starting January 1st, 2025. Both have already proven their strength on the world’s toughest stage – the demanding Dakar 2025.
With SHERCO, another well-known motorcycle brand relies on the #raceproven products and expertise of the Swiss lubricant specialist. The global collaboration covers a wide range of areas:
MOTOREX is the new original equipment manufacturer for all of SHERCO’s production bikes MOTOREX will provide SHERCO with extensive support for its diverse range of racing activities
This partnership will use innovation to benefit customers
MOTOREX will supply SHERCO’s manufacturing facilities with industrial lubricants.
MOTOREX is a Swiss company specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of lubricants, maintenance, and care products for vehicles, motorcycles, industrial, and agricultural machinery.
With a history spanning over 100 years, MOTOREX took its current form in 1947. Since then, the company has quickly distinguished itself through innovative, high-quality solutions tailored to various industries, from motorsports to manufacturing. It is particularly renowned for its engine oils, maintenance products, and protective solutions for a wide range of applications.
With a strong presence in 94 countries, MOTOREX is a key player in the field of technical products for vehicle care and maintenance.
For many years, MOTOREX has collaborated closely with manufacturers and motorsports competition teams. Riders and teams using MOTOREX lubricants have already won more than 120 FIM World Championship titles!
RACING IS AT THE HEART OF IT ALL
With its distinctive motorbikes, SHERCO has delivered an impressive performance record right up this day. This is reflected in the many titles and distinguished riders in the Enduro, Extreme Enduro, Rally Raid and Trial categories. In all, SHERCO has 10 world championship titles to its name! Participation in the Dakar Rally has also featured at the top of the racing programme since 2009.
This year, Lorenzo Santolino (#15) excelled early in the event with his Stage 3 victory, while Rui Gonçalves (#19) achieved an impressive second place in Stage 10. Both riders are well aware of the importance of race-proven lubricants during the full 7,700 km stretch in the toughest conditions.
MOTOREX is strongly represented worldwide in motorcycle racing. Together with its partners, MOTOREX has so far won 177 world championship titles. The secret to success lies in the combination of maximum performance with the highest reliability. A reassuring feeling when demanding everything from your machine. Whether for the engine, gearbox, fork, braking 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 support that MOTOREX provides in the form of lubrication technology is key to the development of both the racing and business aspects of our company. This is the only way we can utilise our full potential.”
Marc Teissier, founder/Chair of the Board of Directors, SHERCO Motorcycles
PRECIOUS KNOW-HOW
The mutual exchange of knowledge and experience is a key factor in the continuous development of both partners. This applies to the entire scope of their collaboration—from motorsports and first-fill lubrication of production motorcycles to supplying SHERCO’s manufacturing facilities with innovative metalworking fluids from MOTOREX.
While precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are vital in metalworking, motorsports revolve around split-second advantages. When developing a high-performance, long-lasting engine oil, the 19-member MOTOREX chemistry team is in its element. Hundreds of parameters, formulas, and years of experience contribute to achieving the goal. The R&D department operates a state-of-the-art laboratory equipped with high-precision analysis and testing instruments. If needed, small-batch prototype formulations can be created and evaluated through rigorous testing. Oil analyses also provide insight into the “inner workings of the engines,” offering valuable data for development.
To establish itself as a specialist in motorcycle lubrication technology, this unique mix of expertise is essential.
“SHERCO, like MOTOREX, is very popular among young bikers. The two brands complement each other perfectly. The already initiated deep collaboration will lead to mutual enhancement and further professionalization. I am very much looking forward to a long-term partnership!”
Edi Fischer, CEO, MOTOREX AG
Adam Raga to Compete in the 2025 Scottish Six Days Trial
Fresh after the release of the new AR68 Raga Replica Sherco trials bike, the legendary Spanish trial rider, Adam Raga, has confirmed that he will compete in the 2025 Scottish Six Days Trial, one of the most iconic and prestigious events in the world of motorcycle trials. This marks an exciting return to the event for Raga, who rode the event back in the year 2000 and returns 25 years later to better his 9th position with 31 points lost.
Raga, a six times World Champion, who has been a dominant figure in the FIM TrialGP World Championship over the last two decades, is set to bring his skill, determination, and experience to the rugged terrain of the Scottish Highlands. Known for his technical prowess and fearless riding style, Raga’s participation is expected to generate significant excitement among fans and competitors alike.
The 2025 Scottish Six Days Trial will take place from May 3 to May 8, 2025, and will once again challenge riders with its challenging sections, moor crossings, and unpredictable weather conditions. Raga’s decision to take part comes after announcing his retirement from the TrialGP World Championship. His focus is now on Sherco machine development alongside a different set of competition goals such as the SSDT.
“I’m really excited to return to the Scottish Six Days Trial this year,” said Adam. “It’s one of the most respected trials in the world, and I have always admired the challenge it presents but it’s difficult to consider riding whilst competing in TrialGP. The Scottish terrain is so unique, and it’s a competition that every trial rider wants to win. I’d love to add a SSDT victory to my CV and I’m working hard ready to give it my all. Winning this event with my new Raga Replica bike that is set to arrive to the UK ahead of the Six day would be a dream. I look forward to seeing everyone at the parade!”
The SSDT is known not only for its tough competition but also for its rich history. As the event enters its 114th edition in 2025, it promises to be a momentous occasion for riders and fans alike, with many of the sport’s top talents, including Jack Price last year’s winner (Sherco) and our official TrialGP rider for 2025 Jack Peace (also Sherco) set to battle Raga for victory. We can’t wait to follow them and see what happens this May.
