These are Zero's own figures at their own test speeds. What you get depends on how fast you ride, what you carry, the weather and the hills — work it out for this bike.

Chassis & suspension

Model generation
FST · Cypher III (Gen 3)
Zero's platform generation for the machine itself — a different axis from the log-format generation our parser reports. The two do not always match: a bike's diagnostic files can decode as a different generation than its platform number.

Rear shock (mono)
Showa 46 mm piston, piggy-back reservoir shock with adjustable tool-less spring preload, compression, and rebound damping
