The Sirris F43 XE Trail Tune fork — Super responsive. Purpose-tuned.

Sirris F43 FORK FOR ZERO XE

F43 XE Trail Tune | LSC | 220 mm Travel | Zero XE

$2,250.00

Description

Developed as a direct-fit upgrade by Sirris and tuned by Zero Motorcycles for the XE platform, this fork is built around wide-range trail valving, adjustable low-speed compression, adjustable rebound, and spring-preload tuning to match rider weight, terrain, and riding style.

Balanced with the XE chassis—not adapted from a generic race setup—it delivers the comfort, traction, and front-end confidence needed to elevate the bike’s trail capability.

RIDER WEIGHT SPECS:

Listed weight ranges are rider weight without riding gear on. 15 pounds of riding gear is calculated into the weight ranges

160 lbs - 180 lbs (Medium = 4.4/4.0 springs)
Fork spring rates listed above are left side/right side.

Damping
• Symmetrical and adjustable closed cartridge with spring backed modified IFP
• High-flow pistons + fully tunable compression and rebound valving
• Dual oil circuits for optimum performance. Separating lubrication and damping oils allows us to further optimize high and low speed damping performance.
• Balanced load, race-ready, high performance. No matter how hard you ride or how many laps you take, our closed cartridge forks will never fade and will always feel predictable.
• Hydraulic bump stop is a hydraulic bottom out control system that gives you soft landings and max stroke even on the most aggressive impacts.

Damper bodies
Seamless 7050 aluminum, type 3 hard anodized coating

Rebound
Dual side high tensile steel spring, adjustable

Adjusters
External compression and rebound adjustment

Seals
NBR 

Guards
High impact PP, 210-degree wraparound

Super responsive.
Purpose-tuned.

Built specifically for the Zero XE.

The Sirris F43 XE Trail Tune fork brings true closed-cartridge suspension performance to the front of the bike, with two independent sealed dampers engineered for consistent support, reduced friction, and confident trail control.

The Partnership

Sirris Suspension — Engineering & Manufacturing

Sirris designed and produced the suspension hardware used in this system. That includes:

  • The fork and rear shock platforms
  • Internal architecture and component design
  • Manufacturing, assembly, and quality control

Sirris’ responsibility is the suspension units themselves—their engineering integrity, structural performance, and build quality.

Zero Motorcycles — Tune Development & Installation Integration

Zero Motorcycles led the development of the ride character and integration for the XE model.

That includes:

  • Defining ride goals for the XE platform
  • Developing the wide-range trail tune
  • Testing across varied terrain conditions
  • Validating fitment and chassis compatibility
  • Establishing installation procedures

This suspension system was tuned specifically for the Zero XE as a complete vehicle—not just as individual components.

Unlike a custom race conversion, this setup was engineered as a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock suspension. 

For that reason, Zero Motorcycles owns the vehicle-side tuning philosophy and installation guidance for this application.

Why Tune & Fitment Are Owned by Zero Motorcycles

Suspension performance is not just about hardware—it’s about how that hardware interacts with the motorcycle’s geometry, weight balance, and intended use. For the XE platform:

  • Zero defined the wide-range valving
  • Zero validated spring rates for general-use riding
  • Zero confirmed geometry compatibility
  • Zero established installation procedures

Sirris manufactures the suspension units to Zero’s specification. However:

  • Sirris does not control the motorcycle chassis
  • Sirris does not define vehicle geometry targets
  • Sirris does not publish vehicle-specific setup instructions

Because this is a vehicle-integrated application, all XE-specific tuning intent, setup recommendations, and installation instructions are developed and supported by Zero Motorcycles.

If you have questions regarding bike setup, torque specifications, ride modes, or compatibility with other XB components, please contact Zero Motorcycles directly.

Responsibility & Authenticity

We’re proud of this collaboration—and clarity matters.

  • Sirris stands behind the engineering and manufacturing of the fork.
  • Zero Motorcycles stands behind the vehicle integration, tuning specification, and installation guidance for the XE application.

Both teams share a commitment to thoughtful engineering and rider-focused innovation.

Because this system installs as a direct replacement for the stock suspension, proper installation according to Zero Motorcycles’ published procedures is essential to ensure safety and performance.
