Electric brand Zero have added race-inspired style to their
top-spec SR/F model with this new limited-edition bodykit.
Called the Quickstrike it’s a restyling package of special
carbon-fibre and aluminium parts which can be easily fitted to
the range-topping electric roadster.
The kit includes a carbon front mudguard and matching rear mudguard by
Chinese carbon-fibre specialists Oya, a black aluminium fly screen, mirrors and
lever guards by Italian firm Barracuda, who also provide aluminium swingarm
spools enabling use of a rear paddock stand. Buyers will also receive a special
Quickstrike bike cover.
The package is inspired by California-based Zero’s official factory-backed
race bike which took part in the 2019 Pikes Peak Hillclimb – the last time
motorcycles took part in the event.
Ridden by Corey West, the modified SR/F came an impressive fifth in the
motorcycle category and 23rd overall. Unfortunately, the 2020 event was
cancelled due to Covid-19 and motorcycles have since been banned by organisers
following three fatalities since 2012.
The production SR/F is Zero’s highest-performing electric roadster. Priced
from £18,990 it produces 110bhp, an even more impressive 140lb.ft of torque and
has a top speed of 124mph.
The chassis, meanwhile, comprises a tubular lattice frame with quality, 43mm
Showa ‘Big Piston’ forks, a Showa multi-adjustable rear shock and J-Juan radial
brakes.
"When Zero launched the SR/F, the entire market shifted," says Chris
Metcalfe, VP of Marketing at Zero Motorcycles. "The significance of a single
motorcycle all of sudden validating an entire category of powersports is unheard
of, so we wanted to make a custom package that was just as special as the bikes
it was made for."
The Quickstrike kit is limited to 100 units, each with a numbered badge.
