z-Force® battery technology changes the game - a completely modular system

the Zero FX features the first fully modular battery system. With slots for two batteries, you can use either one or both of the Zero FX's battery slots. Batteries can be charged on the bike or elsewhere using an optional accessory. There's no need for a ground-level socket. The batteries also work with the optional CHAdeMO and Quick Charge accessories. These recharge the battery to 95% in one hour.

The Zero FX can be purchased with one module (ZF2.8) or two modules (ZF5.7).

revolutionary Z-Force motor

the Zero FX's engine is configured to produce more torque than any other motorcycle in the range. The result is breathtaking acceleration. Zero Motorcycles designed the Z-Force™ engine down to the last detail to be compact, efficient and powerful. Fully air-cooled, the engine will give you a fantastic riding experience without regular maintenance. When you slow down, the motor generates energy which is reused in the battery to increase range.

rechargeable anywhere - in any standard socket

the Zero FX's recharging system is integrated into the motorcycle and can be plugged into any standard socket. No additional equipment is required for standard charging. This allows you to recharge your motorcycle in the garage, at the office or when you stop off at one of your favorite spots on a motorcycle outing. Plug the Zero FX in at night or when you're at the office, and it's ready when you are. For those interested in a quick charge, the CHAdeMO* accessory recharges the battery in just one hour.

*The bike recharges to 95% in almost an hour.

The Zero FX's battery modules can be removed from the motorcycle and charged separately using an optional accessory. This means they can be charged anywhere. So you don't have to use a ground-level socket.

chassis and body - lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum

the motocross frame is the heart of the Zero FX. It has been developed by Zero down to the last detail and handcrafted using aircraft-grade aluminum. The resulting light weight and strength offer greater responsiveness. When cornering and starting off, this translates into greater acceleration. Each frame is shot-blasted and anodized for longer life.

comfortable suspension and easy handling

whether in town or off-road, the Zero FX uses a refined suspension system that absorbs difficult surfaces. Taking advantage of the bike's light weight, the 43 mm inverted front fork is strong, light and responsive. Riders can quickly adjust it using externally adjustable compression and shock absorbers. at the rear, a rigid diamond-type double swingarm keeps the wheel in contact with the ground using a fully adjustable rear shock with preload and rebound damping.

brakes and wheels

because you'll corner faster and ride at the limit thanks to instantly available torque, the Zero X is equipped with a powerful braking system that offers easy metering.

the Zero FX's aluminum wheels are designed to reduce unsprung mass without compromising strength. During acceleration, torque is immediately transferred to the track thanks to a solid rear tire, and directed by a dynamic front tire.

clutchless drive

featuring a clutchless direct drive system, the Zero FX is designed for rapid acceleration and maximum efficiency. It delivers powerful, controlled acceleration from any speed between 0 and 137 km/h. Thanks to the carbon-fiber belt, friction losses are minimal. The Zero FX has a long range, and its powertrain is virtually maintenance-free.

dashboard and controls

the instrument panel is designed by Zero to provide fast, 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.
