I was curious what sort of rake and trail a new Trials machine like the Sherco SY250 might have? I've searched around quite a bit on the gas-gas, beta and sherco pages and can't find a thing. I know this is the sort of thing that only street riders concern themselves with. Thanks.

Jon they don't bother publishing those details because (like MX bikes) the modern trials bikes are very similar in their geometry (and brakes and wheels and forks too). There are slight differences in footpeg location and some are a few kg lighter overall than others. The main differences are in the way the motors respond to throttle input and in the rear suspension design.
