I love Zero Engineering motorcycles, they are like nothing I have ever ridden before but they just look fantastic. Now, they have released the new Type 9 motorcycle.
Combining simple good looks with an all new performance oriented frame and suspension, the Type 9 keeps the classic look of a rigid frame while offering completely unique modern suspension and a sporty ride.
Multi Link Suspension
An Industry First- The Type 9 incorporates F-1 racing inspired suspension. Instead of using more traditional suspension technology such as a swingarm or cage system, the Type 9 uses a multi-link system and high-tension shock to deliver incredibly quick and smooth response to the road. To create this unique frame and suspension system the team at ZERO Engineering spent years of research, development, and refinement. The result is a completely new, purpose built suspension system that keeps the traditional look of a rigid frame while offering an exceptionally sporty ride.
Design
The Type 9 follows ZERO Engineering’s design philosophy and keeps the lines of the bike clean and consistent. From our new heavy duty front fork to our clean tail light cluster, the Type 9 honors American motorcycle history starting from the 50′s.
Powertrain
The Type 9 comes standard with a S&S 96″ Evo engine. Those who know the difference choose S&S. Efficient. Reliable. Strong. S&S Screams quality and won’t let you down. Also new for 2011- CARB certified EVO engines for California. All engines are available up to 124.”
The Type 9 also comes also comes standard with a Primo Rivera 5-Speed transmission. Known for their durability and simplicity, these transmissions won’t let you down.
Customization
Every ZERO Engineering bike is built specifically for each rider. A mild custom paint job is a must and is included with each build. Pegs come in brass, aluminum, or black anodized aluminum. Engine sizes range from 96″ to 124″ and come in natural and black finishes.
