2015 Zero FX Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Zero's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2015 Zero FX features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 44 HP (32.1 kW) at 3,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 95 Nm (70.1 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the FX measures 131 kg (289 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.34 HP/kg (2.98 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 843 mm (33.2 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,427 mm (56.2 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
