If the Zero SR/F street bike electrified you with its zero-emission street capability, then this newest offering from Zero Motorcycles can send shocking chills up your spine with its more relaxed riding position, better aerodynamics and greater range. Here comes the gentler and more comfortable version of the Zero SR/F – the new Zero SR/S.

A Well-Dressed SR/F Twin

No, the new Zero SR/S doesn’t replace the Zero SR/F as the company’s all-electric flagship. Instead, it is an evolution of the flagship street fighter into a sports tourer; both have the same underpinnings except for some details that made the latter more comfortable to ride.

In terms of styling, the SR/F could be considered a naked street brawler, while the SR/S is well-dressed. This is because the SR/S features full fairing. Of course, Zero Motorcycles’ designers didn’t just consider aerodynamics and comfort in designing the new SR/S; they also ensured that the sports bike looks striking and sophisticated.

Nevertheless, the company managed to make the sport bike more comfortable to ride and more aerodynamic. Because of its aerodynamic body work, the Zero SR/S cuts through wind much better than the SR/F resulting to greater range.

More Comfortable To Ride

To give the rider a more comfortable and relaxed riding position, Zero Motorcycles installed taller handlebars, lowered the foot pegs and enlarged the seat. These allowed the rider to assume a more upright stance on the Zero SR/S than on the S/RF.

The rider, meanwhile, benefits from a number of technological details including a five-inch TFT LCD screen, USB charging ports, LED lighting, a fly screen, an aluminum bar and heated grips. It even comes with a companion smartphone app! Because of these revisions, the Zero SR/S electric motorcycle is at least 20 lbs. heavier than the SR/F (505 vs . 485 lbs.)

Still As Powerful

In terms of performance, the SR/S is as potent as the SR/F. It is served by an electric motor than deliver 110 hp of max output and 140 lb.-ft. of instant torque, allowing the sports bike to go as fast as 124 mph. Energy is derived from a 14.4-kWh li-ion integrated battery pack that offers 161 city miles of range. When the so-called Power Tank is installed, this range surges to 200 city miles. For interested riders, the new Zero SR/S can be yours for a price of $19,995.
