Quintessentially British in every way, the Malle Mile never fails to disappoint. The thin veil of cloud cover, thick and tacky mud primed for riding & sliding, a dramatic backdrop of a Tudor-era architecture. The grounds around Grimsthorpe Castle were once again a fantastic festival of speed, art, grit, and style.
The Zero XB, XE, and DSR/X were right at home and gave the crowd a proper demonstration of Zero Motorcycles performance. The Mile Sprint, Hill Climb, and Malle 500 were challenging, competitive, but most importantly, a metric tonne of fun.
Long-time Zero collaborators (and all-around legends) Joe and Lizzie Banks ripped all weekend. Joe rode a custom black-and-blue XE outfitted with TFX off-road suspension, fat knobbies, and a stripped back look, while Lizzie shredded the course on a stock XE.
Joe's return to the Malle Mile stage was a full-circle moment, having raced a custom FX with English Electric Motor Co. a few years ago.

A special shoutout goes to Daniel of Good Habits, the Amsterdam-based builder and designer who helped bring our custom XE to life. With his signature design-forward approach and a deep respect for utility, Daniel captured the essence of the Malle Mile: raw, creative, and unapologetically fun. This also highlighted the opportunities for customers to personalise their X Line models, allowing them to truly make the machines their own with a unique touch, look, and feel.

From the chaos of Motopolo to the laid-back vibe of the "Art of the Motorcycle", the weekend reminded us why we build what we build. Zero Motorcycles isn't just about the tech – it's about the community, the culture, and rethinking what motorcycles can be.
Until next year, Malle Mile.
