Zero turns 20: a SR/F with only 20 units produced to celebrate the anniversary
Twenty years of electric motorcycles celebrated with a truly exclusive series. Zero Motorcycles will produce only 20 SR/F 20th Anniversary models for the European market. Featuring a black and gold livery along with specialized components, this edition honors one of the models that has had the greatest impact on the history of this California-based brand.
Twenty motorcycles for twenty years of history. Zero Motorcycles is celebrating its two decades since founding in 2026 by starting with one of the most important motorcycles from its recent history: the SR/F.
This gives rise to the Zero SR/F 20th Anniversary, a special edition that will be produced in just 20 units and distributed through select European dealers. Rather than a new version of this electric naked bike, it is a limited commemorative series intended primarily for fans of the brand.
Zero SR/F 20th Anniversary: Black and Gold
The first thing that sets it apart from the standard SR/F is its aesthetics: Zero has chosen a Jet Black and gold combination, along with specific details and customizations.
The lineup also includes a selection of premium components, though Zero has not yet provided details on each individual modification. The technical specifications and base of the SR/F remain unchanged, at least according to the information released so far.
The SR/F marked Zero’s turning point
The choice of this model to celebrate the anniversary is not random. Introduced in 2019, the SR/F indeed represented a true turning point for Zero.
The SR/F introduced a completely new platform, built around the Z-Force engine, Cypher III operating system, and Bosch’s Motorcycle Stability Control. The frame, suspension, and especially the overall design of the motorcycle were also changed.
The goal was quite clear: not to simply offer a good electric motorcycle, but a naked bike that could compete with traditional high-end motorcycles in terms of performance, handling dynamics, and technological features.
An important turning point also from the perspective of design. The SR/F led Zero toward a more mature design and greater focus on connectivity and electronics—elements that would become central to the series’ development in subsequent years.
The SR/F will be among the models to benefit from another major innovation: the introduction of DC fast charging via CCS. Zero will deploy this feature on the Street and Dual Sport models starting from the second half of 2027, with retrofits available for compatible models beginning in 2022. The goal is to charge the battery from 20% to 80% in less than 30 minutes.
