At the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, an annual display of modern and historic bikes celebrating in California, Curtiss Motorcycle Company unveiled its vision for a new golden age of American motorcycling...
The company, which claims a heritage stretching back to 1902 and motorcycle and aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss, took the wraps off its all-new, radical-looking Zeus, a striking, and much-anticipated prototype electric E-cruiser at the show.
“The Zeus introduces a fresh, all-new design DNA that will define every Curtiss motorcycle moving forward,” said Curtiss design director, Jordan Cornille. “Its minimalist, pure, organic brand language has been carefully developed to foreshadow an entire family of Curtiss products to come. Curtiss Motorcycle Company is leading an all-new golden age of sustainable motorcycles.”
