2025 Zero SR/S

The full-fairing-equipped flagship of the Zero street lineup, the SR/S is basically identical mechanically to the SR/F naked bike except for some differences in handlebars and footpegs for ergonomic changes. But those differences may not be what you assume; while the sleek full fairing and overall styling gives the impression that the SR/S is a sportbike, the riding position is actually more upright and comfortable than the SR/F; think more sport-tourer rather than sport. The handlebars on the S model have a 26mm higher rise along with being 15mm wider, and are pulled back 2 degrees closer to the rider. The footpegs have been lowered for more legroom as well. The additional handlebar leverage results in a bike that requires a lighter effort to initiate a turn, with a better sense of control and input than the SR/F.

Mechanically, the SR/S is virtually identical to the SR/F naked bike, thus it carries the latest 17.3kWh battery and 6.6kW integrated charger, meaning a combined city/highway range of 116 miles, and just a little over two hours to charge to 95 percent using a Level 2 charging station. Zero’s latest Z-Force 75-10 interior permanent magnet motor churns out 140 lb.-ft. of torque and peak of 111 hp at 5,600 rpm, providing beastly acceleration off the line. Fully adjustable suspension at both ends (spring preload, rebound and compression damping) consists of a Showa 43mm BP-SFF fork upfront and a similarly adjustable Showa 40mm piston piggyback rear shock. Braking is handled by dual four-piston J.Juan calipers and 320mm discs upfront, and a single-piston caliper/240mm disc combo out back. The larger-capacity battery brings a slight weight penalty; weight is now at 518 pounds.

The 2025 Zero SR/S is available in Orbit Blue/Coral or Thermal/Black starting at $20,995.
