Frame – Sculpted Aircraft Grade Aluminum Means Lighter, Stronger, and Faster
At the core of the Zero X electric dirt bike is a frame engineered from scratch and handcrafted with aircraft-grade aluminum. This results in a lightweight and durable design, ensuring responsive handling and greater acceleration in turns and from a standstill. To enhance durability, each frame undergoes shot-peening and anodizing processes.
Key Features:
- Hydroformed top tube for increased strength and reduced weight
- Massive swingarm enhancing torsional rigidity for improved cornering and tracking
- Large cylindrical swingarm cross tube providing additional stiffness and suspension response
- Thru-axle rear hub for superior strength and rigidity
- Organic gusseting adds strength and a sleek appearance
- Frame is shot-peened and anodized to resist corrosion and abrasion
- Updated bodywork with new color graphics
Motor and Energy – High Torque and Acceleration
The Zero X is powered by Zero Motorcycles' proprietary lithium-ion power pack, delivering more torque than any motorcycle in its category. This system discharges power instantly as the throttle is engaged, and each cell in the power pack is monitored individually to optimize performance during charging and discharging.
Key Features:
- High-capacity power pack delivers immediate high-torque acceleration
- Advanced charging system with a tailored charge profile
- Optimized for rapid energy release, giving riders thrilling acceleration
Drivetrain – Larger Chain and Sprockets for Durability and Longevity
To manage the Zero X’s enhanced traction and acceleration, a hardened steel 420 chain and direct drive gearing are used. This durable drivetrain effectively channels power from the throttle to the ground.
Key Features:
- Hardened steel 420 chain for superior strength
- Front and rear 420 sprockets
- Enlarged rear sprocket mounting/bolt pattern to better handle high-torque acceleration
