Zero celebrates two decades of forward-thinking two-wheelers by unveiling a beautiful special edition of the revolutionary SR/F.We tend to think of electric motos as a relatively new development in the space, making it easy to forget that Zero has been at the game for 20 years.Here to remind us is a stunning new special edition of the SR/F, which represented a huge step forward for the brand and the category when it launched in 2019.With this black-and-gold- beauty, Zero celebrates 20 years of building electric bikes, longer than most riders realize. - Credit: Zero MotorcyclesLimited to just 20 units in North America and another 20 in Europe, the 20th Anniversary SR/F features unique jet-black-and-gold styling, handpicked premium components and subtle commemorative details, standing out even as several Zero bikes get new colorways for 2027.Carbon fiber front and rear fenders sharpen the silhouette, while smoked turn signals, black headlight wings and a black aluminum flyscreen add a darkly dazzling edge.From the color scheme to the premium components, every visual detail was purpose-built for this milestone. - Credit: Zero MotorcyclesAdditional blacked-out parts include the billet mirrors, bar ends, brake lever, billet lever protector and billet front and rear brake reservoir caps.Those components are complemented by a black brake pedal, dust covers and grab rails, with swingarm bobbins and TechSpec protectors rounding out the package.Beyond the carbon fiber fenders, handpicked billet components throughout the cockpit and braking system elevate the anniversary SR/F well above standard trim. - Credit: Zero MotorcyclesThe jaw-dropping treatment puts a fitting stamp on the 20-year run while also tipping its cap to what made the bike such a breakthrough seven years ago.At the time, my former GP colleague Bryan Campbell called it "the most modern motorcycle on the market," and he wasn't blowing smoke, so to speak, as he later went on to work for Zero.Upon its launch, the SR/F was a clean-sheet design: new powertrain, new operating system, new stability control, new chassis. We called it the most modern motorcycle on the market. - Credit: Zero MotorcyclesAn all-new platform, it introduced the brand's Z-Force powertrain, Cypher III operating system, Bosch Motorcycle Stability Control and a new chassis architecture.With a focus on combining performance, control and connectivity, it laid the groundwork for future stalwarts, including the SR/S, which I lauded for its impressive blend of sportiness and comfort after test riding upon its 2020 release.With 190 Nm of torque on tap, the SR/F continues to deliver the kind of immediate throttle response that leaves most combustion bikes looking like they are standing still. - Credit: Zero MotorcyclesThe current SR/F carries forward all the innovation while producing 190 Nm of torque, 83 kW of power and a top speed of 124 mph, backed up by a claimed 179 miles of range and a charge time of just over an hour.One thing I'm certain hasn't changed? The glorious instant electric throttle response that leaves most other bikes gasping for air when the light turns green.Availability and pricingThe Zero 20th Anniversary SR/F will be available exclusively through participating Zero Motorcycles dealers, starting at $20,995.Zero Motorcycles SR/F Limited Edition $20,995 at Zero Motorcycles About the Author:Now managing editor, Steve has served in a variety of roles with GP since 2019.
