The SR/S: When Your Motorcycle Has More Brains Than Brawn
Welcome to the era where machines do the heavy lifting, and humans can kick back and just enjoy the ride. Picture this: A motorcycle, the SR/S, that's as aerodynamically efficient as an F-16, yet as comfortable as your favorite recliner. Sounds unreal, right? Buckle up, and prepare for the ride of your life, folks.
The SR/S isn't just a bike, it's a piece of art, inspired by the aerospace industry. The SR/S’s fairing design offers a 13% boost in highway efficiency compared to its kin, the SR/F. You get more bang for your buck, and your comfort isn't compromised either. Sit up, relax, and experience a ride smoother than your pick-up lines.
While on the subject of comfort, the SR/S could very well be the Rolls Royce of motorcycles. A higher handlebar, lower foot position, and a more expansive seating area – it's clear this isn't your average crotch rocket. Even the most dubious passenger would approve. And the fine-tuned suspension? It adds a layer of luxury, making every ride feel like a joyride through Cloud Nine. Add to it the not-so-demanding weight of 518 lbs and a load carrying capacity of 428 lbs and you end up with a surprisingly capable machine.
The SR/S is powered by the Z-Force 75-10 motor, and believe me, there's nothing “zero” about this beast. It roars to life with a twist of the throttle, boasting 140 ft-lb of torque and 110 horsepower. The drive-belt tension never wavers, thanks to a proprietary coaxial power pivot design, keeping your ride as smooth as Sinatra on a good day.
Hold on to your helmets, because this motorized stallion comes equipped with the Cypher III+ operating system. It's so intelligent, it makes your high school valedictorian look like a class clown. With an arsenal of ride modes including Rain, Eco, Sport, and Canyon, the SR/S can be customized to match your riding style, whatever the weather or road conditions.
The Cypher III+ isn't just about ride modes; it offers on-demand performance upgrades from the Cypher Store. Imagine upgrading your bike’s performance at the tap of a finger, just like downloading a new song. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
Speaking of power, the SR/S has got it in abundance. It packs the largest stock capacity battery ever – the Z-Force 17.3 kWh. It’s like having a powerhouse under the seat. With a maximum range of 227 miles, you could ride from New York to Boston on a single charge.
And what’s a smart bike without a companion app? The next-gen Zero app syncs with the bike and offers everything from charge station location assistance to ride mode selection. It's like having a personal assistant, but for your bike. And the best part? The 2023 SR/S comes with every current Cypher Upgrade pre-loaded.
In essence, the SR/S is not just a bike, but a smart system on wheels. Its advanced features and intelligent systems take the ride experience to a level beyond your wildest dreams. Talking about dreams - this one won’t break the bank. With a retail price of $23,995 it isn’t the most expensive electric motorcycle out there, and right now Zero Motorcycles offers a $4,000 incentive to go electric. So gear up, throttle down, and embark on the adventure of a lifetime with the SR/S.
