The entire lineup is equipped with upgraded suspension systems, an enhanced Z-Force powertrain, more precise charge indicators, new higher performance brakes and industry-standard component features to provide owners with more aftermarket options.
Other highlights include street legal configurations of the dirt bikes and a new maintenance free belt drive for the street and dual sport models. Street-legal versions include additional components such as headlights, taillights, sidestands, dashes, sensors and different gearing.
Both the Zero X and Zero MX have stouter wheels, new tires, a more robust HB Performance braking system, new aggressive foot pegs and an integrated ignition switch and lock.
