Motorcycles announced
the latest addition to its electric motorcycle fleet, the Zero MX. Made
specifically for track riding and motocross, the Zero MX is
high-performance, lightweight, low-maintenance and silent. With new
fork, shocks, wheels and tyres, the Zero MX makes local track riding
possibilities more socially acceptable by eliminating the loud noise
associated with a traditional petrol dirt bike. It is available for
purchase beginning today.
“After
engineering electric motorcycles for urban areas and off-road trails, we
recognized the need to design a motorcycle with the motocross rider in
mind,” said Neal Saiki, founder and CTO of Zero Motorcycles. “Aggressive
track riding requires a motorcycle with a high power-to-weight ratio and
an advanced suspension system. The Zero MX delivers both without the
noise of a typical petrol motorcycle. This makes riding possible in
areas that are usually off-limits due to noise restrictions.”
Designed for bigger jumps on the track, the Zero MX uses a new
high-performance motorcycle suspension system. It includes an extremely
robust front-end and a newly developed custom rear shock that gives
riders a fully adjustable spring preload and easily tuned damping. The
Zero MX has also been fitted with an aggressive 19” front wheel and tyre
package that will accommodate any motocross tyre.
The Zero MX is
available for purchase exclusively through the Zero Motorcycles website
and prices start at £7056.35.
