Zero Motorcycles, the forward-thinking brand that has defined the category of electric motorcycles, has officially launched the highly-anticipated Zero SR/S. The all-new SR/S will feature a sleek full fairing design and revised ergonomics for elevated comfort and functionality. It will offer riders a refined riding experience packed with industry-leading power, connection and control with new, elevated design.
- Design: Inspired by cutting edge aerospace design, the new fairing design of Zero’s SR/S is rooted in aerodynamics and provides a 13 percent improvement in efficiency and range versus its award-winning sibling, the SR/F. Lower foot position and higher handlebars provide a more upright and relaxed riding position that even extends to two-up riding, giving passengers the ride of their life with matching lower pegs and a larger seating area.
- Power: With 140 ft-lbs of torque and 110 horsepower, the new SR/S boasts class-leading performance and efficiency from a ZF 75-10 motor and 14.4kWh lithium-ion battery. On a single charge, the bike can delive up to a 201-mile city range with the addition of Zero’s Power Tank. Zero’s Rapid Charge System allows for up to three independent charging modules, with the ability to charge from 0 to 95 percent in just one hour.
- Control: Zero’s intelligent Cypher III operating system unleashes the full capabilities of Bosch’s stability control system (MSC), resulting in best-in-class straight-line ABS and cornering brake control, traction control and drag torque control. Additionally, an arsenal of ride modes allow riders to customize performance through Zero’s intuitive next-generation app and dash interface.
- Connection:Â The SR/S is among the first commercially available connected motorcycles on the market, giving riders the ability to monitor the bike in four main areas: Bike Status and Alerts, Charging, Ride Data Sharing, and System Upgrades and Updates.
The premium model with 6 kW Rapid Charger, heated hand grips and aluminum bar ends starts at $21,995 USD. The standard model with 3 kW Rapid Charger starts at $19,995 USD. Zero’s Power Tank, available beginning March 1 for an additional $2,895, adds 3.6 kWh to the SR/S for extended city range of 201 miles. Both premium and standard models are available in Skyline Silver and Cerulian Blue colorways.
The SR/S, along with Zero’s entire 2020 model line of electric motorcycles, is also eligible for a 10 percent federal tax credit for plug-in vehicles, up to a $2,500 maximum. Financing is available through Freedom Road and Syncrony.
