2017 Zero SR Review

2017 Zero SR on www.Totalmotorcycle.com

The ultimate electric antidote to conventional gas superbikes …

Massive torque. More power.
Greater acceleration.

Massive torque. Stunning acceleration. Instantaneous response. The Zero SR amps-up performance with a higher output (775 amp) controller and high temperature motor magnets. The result is a stunning 116 ft-lb of torque, more than any 1,000cc sport bike. With arm-stretching acceleration and higher sustained top speeds, the Zero SR leaves gas-powered competition in the dust.

Revolutionary Z-Force® Motor
Up to 70 hp, 116 ft-lb…and incredibly efficient

Zero Motorcycles designed the Z-Force® motor from the ground up to be compact, efficient and powerful. It delivers exhilarating acceleration to a top speed of 102 mph on the Zero SR. Completely air-cooled, the motor provides a fantastic riding experience, minus the need for any regular maintenance. When slowing down, the motor generates electricity that is channeled back into the power pack to help extend ride times.

Zero Motorcycles’ proprietary Z-Force® motor is the industry’s most efficient, powerful, compact, brushless and sealed air-cooled motor
Z-Force® IPM (Interior Permanent Magnet) motor is more efficient and cools more rapidly for improved performance during hard riding and higher sustained top speeds
Z-Force® 75-7R motor on the Zero SR contains higher temperature magnets and produces 116 ft-lb of torque and 70 hp
Highly efficient, zero-maintenance powertrain does not require a complex cooling system
Quad-level regenerative system recharges the power pack when decelerating
Re-gen level is increased during brake application vs. “neutral” deceleration
Both braking and “neutral” re-gen levels are set higher in Eco vs. Sport mode
“Custom” mode performance profile can be set using the Zero Motorcycles App

Frame and Bodywork
Great to look at. Even better to ride.

Aircraft-grade aluminum is exclusively used in the construction of the twin spar frame. It is lightweight, strong and one of the main reasons that the motorcycles handle incredibly well. Designed to have a low center of gravity,the motorcycles are highly maneuverable and responsive. The refined appearance is completed with sleek bodywork with a contemporary, aggressive and naked look. The tank section of the bodywork features an integrated storage compartment that is both lockable and removable. The tank section can also be replaced with the Power Tank accessory for greater range or the Charge Tank accessory for faster charging.

Beautifully sculpted bodywork and chin fairing provides improved cooling of the powertrain
Lockable, weather-resistant tank trunk provides convenient storage
Extremely rigid and lightweight black twin spar aircraft-grade aluminum frame
Designed to have a low center of gravity for better maneuverability and responsiveness
Sleek headlight and LED tail light
The headlight, dash, key switch and bodywork are refined to provide elegant instrumentation and a sleek front end aesthetic

Showa Suspension
The Magic Ride

Zero worked in close collaboration with Showa to develop suspension systems that provide excellent small bump compliance, predictable control of bigger impacts and exceptionally smooth action under all conditions. Torsional rigidity of the front end improves handling, and a hollow front axle reduces unsprung weight. Suspension settings are completely customizable to meet the demands of a wide variety of riders.

Exceptionally smooth action for improved comfort and control
Fully adjustable settings to meet the demands of a wide variety of riders
Hollow front axle reduces unsprung weight
Developed in close collaboration with Showa

Bosch Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Powerful. Precise. Control.

The Zero S and Zero SR feature an advanced Bosch anti-lock brake system (ABS) that improves control in a wide array of conditions and ensures the best braking performance, while a large 320 mm diameter carrier-less rotor increases stopping power.

Advanced Bosch ABS is standard
ABS can be switched on or off depending on rider preference
Incredibly smooth actuation for greater control under extreme braking
Large 320 mm diameter carrier-less front rotor increases stopping power
Refined hydraulic ratios improve braking power and modulation
Adjustable front brake lever for customizable ergonomics

Wheels and Tires
Rolling Forward

Pirelli tires are standard on the Zero S and Zero SR, providing great traction, excellent durability and road feel. The tires are mounted to stylish and durable cast alloy wheels.

Stylish cast alloy wheels are equipped with a large carrier-less front rotor to reduce unsprung weight and increase stopping power
Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tires provide excellent grip and handling

Dash and Controls
Impressive Information. Elegantly Displayed.

The dash is designed by Zero to quickly and accurately provide useful data on such information as state of charge, power output and your selected riding profile. You can toggle through three riding profiles, using the ergonomic right-hand switch gear, to better meet the needs of your ride: Sport, Eco, Custom. The dash screen features a cool blue backlit LCD display and integrates seamlessly into the front of the motorcycle. Want more information about the motorcycle while riding or at home? Try the Zero Motorcycles App.

High-contrast blue backlit LCD screen features data that allows you to better understand your state of charge, see your current riding profile and view other useful riding information

Zero Motorcycles App
Get Your Motorcycle Dialed

Using the Zero Motorcycles App, you can see detailed information about your motorcycle such as the time until charged, average watts per mile, total charge cycles and much more. When parked, the app allows you to set the custom riding mode’s performance profile by adjusting the parameters for top speed, maximum torque and maximum regenerative braking. While riding, your phone transforms into a customized dash that provides detailed real-time motorcycle information. Synced using Bluetooth, the app works on iPhone and Android mobile devices.

Direct Drive Gearing
Instant Torque With a Twist

Featuring clutchless direct drive, the Zero S and Zero SR are geared for rapid acceleration and maximum efficiency. With its higher output motor, the Zero SR achieves a top speed in excess of 100 mph. Without ever needing to shift, both models provide controlled and powerful acceleration until you reach your desired speed. The carbon fiber belt achieves minimal frictional losses for increased overall range and is integral to making the powertrain quiet and maintenance-free.

Sophisticatedly simple “just ride” direct-drive system means no clutch, no shifting and no need to carry a heavy and complex transmission
Maintenance-free and virtually silent belt drive system
Clutchless single speed simplifies operation
Geared for rapid acceleration and maximum efficiency
Adjustable rear axle to modify belt tension

Charge Easily.
Charge Anywhere.
Travel up to 53 miles per hour of charging

From public Level 2 charge stations to your garage, Zero’s charging options are designed to fit your lifestyle. Every Zero comes standard with a simple and lightweight cable that plugs into any household outlet.

For faster charging on the go, Zero offers the Charge Tank accessory. It effectively triples on-board charging speed, allowing riders to recharge their power pack in as little as 2-3 hours at level 2 charging stations. The result is up to 53 miles of riding range for each hour of charging time (based on city range).

For home or office use, Zero’s scalable “Quick Charger” system can dramatically reduce charging times. The system uses up to four stand-alone (off-board) 1 kW chargers that work in conjunction with the motorcycle’s standard (on-board) charger.

Charge using any standard household outlet with the standard on-board charger and accompanying cable
