SUSTAINABLE ADVENTURE
ZERO DSR / X
Zero Motorcycles , a leader in electric motorcycles and powertrains , unveiled the newest models for its MY23 line-up , headlined by the all-new DSR / X . The DSR / X utilises the company ’ s class-leading Z-Force Power Packs , whisper quiet ZF motors , and Cypher III + operating system to provide the purest adventure sport riding experience in the world .
“ Our owners and advocates have been asking for a fullsized ADV bike from Zero for years ,” said Abe Azkenazi , Zero Motorcycles CTO . “ We invested over 100,000 engineering hours into designing a motorcycle that lives up to both our customers ’ expectations and Zero ’ s mission to redefine the riding experience .”
One of the results of that effort is an entirely new Z-Force 75-10X motor that produces a staggering 166 foot-pounds of torque and a Z-Force 17.3 kWh Power Pack , each setting new pinnacle performance standards for Zero . The DSR / X has a unique frame design and component architecture to allow for increased ground clearance , almost 8 inches of hand-adjustable front suspension , and three integrated storage compartments , making it a truly ADV-specific design that is both rugged and capable .
“ The core of our product philosophy is a focus on elevating the riding experience . A big part of the adventure riding experience , maybe more than any other category in the motorcycle industry , is about the promise of adventure and an escape ”, said Zero CEO Sam Paschel . “ Whether they are riding on the pavement or the dirt , the quiet and smooth ride offered by the DSR / X enables the best possible connection between the rider and their surroundings on any terrain .”
Zero has been working hand in hand with the team at Bosch to develop a next generation , intuitive offroad riding experience . Controlled by the world ’ s most advanced operating system , Cypher III +, the DSR / X is the first electric motorcycle ever to integrate the full suite of Bosch Motorcycle Stability Controls with Offroad capabilities . Optimized specifically for the responsiveness of the Zero electric powertrain , this technology delivers stability and traction on any surface . The Bosch Offroad system includes linked braking for improved brake modulation and Bosch Vehicle Hold Control which provides confidence and steadiness even on the steepest slopes .
The DSR / X is built on 16 years and 165 million miles
