Motorcycle specifications Zero MotorcyclesFXS 2016 City walk; circuit tension

Whether you're cruising city streets in supermoto style or prefer small country roads, the new Zero FXS is ready to push the limits. With almost instant torque of 95 Nm, up to 33 kW and a weight of less than 140 kg, the Zero FXS is fast and agile. The suspension and brakes are perfectly adapted to the demands of sportier riding, giving the rider greater control. The 17" rims and Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires provide better grip and control in corners... for a good reason: throttle response is simply sensational. The Zero FXS takes supermoto riding to a new level.

no minute of your ride is wasted, thanks to a powertrain maintenance-free powertrain, and each kilometer costs just under a cent in electricity. The Zero FXS features a unique, patented power pack system that allows the battery to be recharged directly on the bike or externally, making it ideal for city riding. With advanced ABS, fully adjustable suspension, dual projector headlights, alloy wheels and high-performance tires, it's ready to hit the supermoto trails or turn once-mundane challenges into exhilarating outings.

the Zero FXS features a fully modular power pack system. With slots for two power packs, you can use the Zero FXS with one or two power packs. Modules can be recharged on the bike or anywhere else, thanks to optional accessories. This means you can recharge the battery without the need for a public outlet.

The Zero FXS can be purchased with one module (ZF3.3) or two modules (ZF6.5).

stunning acceleration with 9.7 mkg of torque

at the heart of the Zero FXS powertrain is a robust, highly efficient motor. The patent-pending Z-Force® permanent magnet (PMI) motor cools quickly and offers the highest thermal capacity of any Zero motorcycle. This dramatically improves performance during harder riding, and enables higher maximum sustained speeds. Like all Z-Force® engines, the IPM motor is light, compact and powerful, and requires no maintenance. When you slow down, the motor generates electricity which is fed back into the power pack to extend driving time.

zero Motorcycles' charging options are designed to suit your lifestyle. Every Zero motorcycle comes standard with a simple, lightweight cable that plugs into any household outlet.

for use at home or in the office, Zero Motorcycles' fast, expandable charger system can dramatically reduce recharging times. The system uses up to four independent (external) 1 kW chargers which are used in combination with the motorcycle's standard (built-in) charger.

chassis and body - lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum

at the heart of the Zero FXS is an aerospace-grade aluminum chassis, entirely designed by Zero Motorcycles. The resulting light weight and high strength deliver improved responsiveness. This translates into better acceleration in corners and off the straights. For longer life, each frame is shot-blasted and anodized.

showa suspension

zero Motorcycles worked closely with Showa to develop the suspension systems. These handle small bumps perfectly, control larger impacts predictably and smooth out the action in all conditions. The rigid torsion of the front end offers improved handling, while the hollow front axle reduces unsprung weight. Suspension settings are fully customizable to meet the requirements of most riders.

bosch anti-lock braking system (ABS)

the Zero FXS is equipped with Bosch's advanced anti-lock braking system (ABS), which improves control in a wide range of conditions and ensures the best braking performance.

tires and wheels

the Zero FXS is fitted as standard with Pirelli tires that provide better traction in a wide range of conditions and excellent road feel. The Zero FXS's alloy wheels are designed to reduce unsprung weight without altering drag.

clutchless drive - instant torque with just a little difference

featuring clutchless direct drive, the Zero FXS is designed for rapid acceleration and maximum efficiency. Without ever having to change gear, the Zero FXS delivers controlled, powerful acceleration at any speed from 0 to 125 km/h. The carbon-fiber belt eliminates minimal friction losses and increases overall range. It also makes the drive train maintenance-free.

dashboard and controls

zero's dashboard has been designed to quickly provide useful and accurate information such as charge level, power output and selected riding profile. You can juggle the three driving modes using the ergonomic switch on the right to better determine your driving needs: sport, eco, custom. The dashboard display is a blue backlit LCD screen. It blends in perfectly with the front of the motorcycle. Want more information about your motorcycle while you're riding or at home? Try the Zero Motorcycles App.

the Zero Motorcycles App

the Zero Motorcycles App gives you access to detailed information about your motorcycle, including charging times, average power output in watts per kilometer, complete charging cycles and much more. When you're stationary, the app lets you set personalized parameters for top speed, maximum torque and maximum energy recovery when braking. While you're riding, your cell phone transforms into a personalized dashboard, providing you with detailed information about the bike in real time. Thanks to Bluetooth, the application works on iPhone and Android.
