Rider Profile

Best For	Suits riders from newer intermediate through experienced, since the instant electric torque is easy to modulate but demands respect at full throttle.
Purpose	Best suited for urban commuting, playful street riding, and light dual-sport style exploring rather than long-distance travel.
Rider Fit	Its light wet weight and tall but narrow seat make it manageable for a wide range of rider sizes, though the seat height may challenge shorter riders.
Character	A quiet, torquey, clutchless supermoto that rewards flickable handling and instant low-RPM punch over outright top speed.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting long highway touring range, high top speed, or a passenger-friendly ride.

2017 Zero FX Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 843mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Zero FX, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
