The Verdict We have long been impressed with Sherco's off-road lineup, and riding the 2026 250 SEF Factory On our scale, the Sherco 250 SEF weighed 254 pounds with a full tank of fuel. That is very com- petitive in this category, especially when you consider the additional fuel capacity and front/rear lights. That light weight likely contrib- utes to the playful handling feel of the overall package. If we owned this bike, we would likely add a rear disc includes warning lights for fuel and battery levels. Up front, a bright LED headlight outper - forms many stock units. Unlike comparable KTM 250 XC-F, Honda CRF250RX and Kawasaki KX250X models, which don't include headlights, the Sherco is ready for trail rides that extend into the dark. It also has a rear taillight. The KYB suspension is well set up for aggressive trail riding and, for many, race- ready. The chassis is very balanced, with solid stability and cornering.
