THE ORIGINAL ELECTRIC ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLE

From the moment you encounter it, the DSR/X instills confidence. With a remarkable 229 N-m of torque, it effortlessly conquers any terrain and does so with an upright riding position, high ground clearance, and smooth acceleration from Zero's latest Z-Force 75-10X direct drive motor. You can customize the rear shock preload for a comfortable ride, regardless of load. As the first electric motorcycle with Bosch's Offroad Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC), the DSR/X ensures safety, control, and confidence in all traction conditions. It also offers enhanced features like faster charging, increased battery capacity, turn-by-turn navigation, and Parking Mode, enabling easy maneuvering and obstacle clearance. As the category-defining electric adventure motorcycle, the DSR/X also includes every available Cypher III+ feature as standard.

BOSCH MOTORCYCLE STABILITY CONTROL (MSC)
The DSR/X's on/offroad MSC supports riders by assisting in acceleration, braking, and cornering, regardless of terrain. By combining Bosch's MSC System with Zero's Cypher III+, the offroad MSC delivers dynamic acceleration, improved stability, and unrivaled control. This advanced technology ensures best-in-class ABS, cornering brake control, traction control, and drag torque control, maximizing rider safety and control.

BOSCH VEHICLE HOLD BRAKING
Vehicle Hold Braking engages when you stop on a steep slope by fully clamping the brake lever and releasing it, serving as a temporary parking brake. It provides freedom for the rider to make adjustments on inclines. When the throttle is engaged, braking deactivates for a smooth start uphill. Alternatively, Bosch Vehicle Hold Braking automatically cancels and releases brake pressure after three minutes.

SHOWA SUS{ENSION SYSTEM
The new front and rear suspension offer a controlled, comfortable, and agile ride on the road, while excelling off-road. With fully adjustable 190-mm of travel both front and rear, it provides ample suspension for off-road terrain. The rear shock allows hand-adjustable preload, enabling riders to customize the ride height based on load, allowing on-the-trail adjustments for optimal performance.

INSTANT ADAPTABILITY & CUSTOMIZATION

The new DSR/X offers a range of premium digital and physical accessories, making it the ultimate adventure motorcycle. With five standard ride modes and the ability to customize offroad mode through the Zero NextGen app, adaptability is effortless. Choose the perfect ride mode for any condition and switch it up as needed. Bosch's Linked Braking enhances stability by engaging controlled dual braking when traction is lost. The Vehicle Hold braking feature provides confidence when stopping on inclines or declines. Experience unmatched versatility and confidence on every journey.

RIDE MODES
The DSR/X offers a versatile range of preprogrammed ride modes: Sport, Street, Eco, Rain, and Canyon, all accessible through Zero's dash interface and customizable via the NextGen app. Custom modes provide infinite options to suit individual riding styles or conditions. Bosch Offroad MSC can be added to any mode, enhancing control in low-traction conditions. Each mode has unique performance profiles for top speed, torque, and both braking and neutral battery regeneration. Experience unparalleled flexibility and performance tailored to your preferences and terrain.

CYPHER III+
The Zero Adventure experience revolves around the most advanced motorcycle operating system, Cypher III+. Alongside extensive customization options, the DSR/X boasts a suite of Cypher features for enhanced performance. Enjoy faster charging, increased battery capacity, on-dash turn-by-turn navigation, and Parking Mode, enabling slow reverse gear for conquering obstacles or maneuvering in tight spaces. Plus, Cypher is the architecture that supports these and potentially limitless possibilities though over-the-air (OTA) updates.

PERFORMANCE

THE UNPRECEDENTED COMBINATION OF INDUSTRY-LEADING POWER, CONROL AND CONNECTION.

• Battery - Z-Force 17.3 Battery pack
  
  The Z-FORCE 17.3 kWh lithium-ion battery makes the DSR/X capable of 288 km of city range. Riders can extend their range even more to nearly 21 kWh with the available Power Tank option (dealer install required). The battery's industry-leading power and energy density combined with an aluminum heat-sink housing and thermal transfer interface ensure consistent cell cooling and maximum long-term powertrain performance along with no maintenance or upkeep.



• Charger - Rapid charge system
  
  Our scalable Rapid Charge System allows the DSR/X to be configured for different charging levels. The DSR/X is equipped with a 6.6 kW charger right off the showroom floor. An additional 6 kW charging module is available for purchase (dealer install required) that can achieve up to 12.6 kW. The DSR/X can also be charged anywhere you charge your cell phone through a standard household outlet overnight, in approximately 10 hours.



• Motor - Z-Force 75-10 Motor
  
  The DSR/X's unique Z-Force 75-10X direct drive motor variant is specially tuned for the rigors of navigating rough terrain. Sharing some of the same architecture as the 75-10 but with completely different internal materials, this motor delivers 229 N-m of torque and 75 kW of immediate power that effortlessly navigates any obstacle and reaches a top speed of 161-km/h. All this along with Zero�s renowned internal permanent magnet, brushless architecture, and passively air-cooled, compact design delivers class-leading performance and efficiency with virtually no maintenance required.



• Chassis
  
  With some unmistakable design continuity to some the Zero's street motorcycles, the steel-trellis frame of the DSR/X is totally new. Updated to maximize its strength while shedding as much weight as possible, the frame is reinforced for the rigors of any terrain that is thrown at it. The powertrain is perfectly distributed, resulting in a weight-optimized/mass-centralized design. The DSR/X's componentry is also situated differently to optimize for adventure by providing a category leading 24.6 cm of ground clearance. Paired with a coaxial power-pivot swingarm which has also been reinforced to handle greater loads under harsher conditions, the architecture of the bike and Showa's adventure suspension delivers a nimble and controlled riding experience.



• Brakes - Bosch motorcycle stability control
  
  The DSR/X is Zero's first model featuring a linked braking system. Controlled by the integrated Bosch Advanced Stability Control System, it activates instantly upon sensing a loss of traction or any slippage. The system immediately applies the right amount of braking to the J.Juan front and rear brakes simultaneously, providing added control when climbing or descending steep, loose terrain.



• Dash - See clearly
  
  Customize your dash or simply let the industrys gold standard in auto-contrasting light sensing do all the work for you. Data fields abound when you choose the bike info you want displayed and read it clearly on the full-color 127-mm TFT display. Multi-mode navigation enables on-the-fly ride mode switching, cruise-control, heated grip control, and much more.



• Suspension - A dialed ride
  
  The DSR/X delivers a smooth ride fit for any terrain or load with enhanced suspension for your ADV outings. A 47-mm Showa fork offers 190-mm of travel and full adjustability. Also, the convenient dial for hand-adjusting preload on the new Showa shock also offers the perfect accommodation for a pillion rider or fully-loaded optional TRAX ADV cases.



• Wheels & Tyres - Rubber side down
  
  The DSR/X can navigate virtually any obstacle in its way thanks to its incredibly light and durable spoked wheels, 19� up front and 17� in the rear. These come wrapped in stock in Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires for uniformly excellent performance on all surface types. However, the indomitable Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires are available for those riders who want to upgrade their DSR/X into a fully trail-rated offroad monster.



• Belt Drive - Carbon strong
  
  Zero has collaborated with Gates Carbon Belt Drive, the leader in belt-driven powersport technologies, to develop an entirely new belt system for the DSR/X. Wider, stronger, and more capable than ever, the belt drive system for the DSR/X is designed with larger, ported sprockets to reduce bend angles and eliminate debris from the drive train. This combination results in the most durable drive system that is found on any electric motorcycle.
  
  *Chain Kit option available as accessory purchase



• Face / Headlight - Light the way
  
  See the road ahead like never before and ensure it always sees you with the custom-made full LED headlight and LED taillight with opalescent light-pipe for unrivaled lateral visibility. Also, the 2024 DSR/X also comes with LED turn and hazard indicators fully standard so you can be confident your intentions are broadcast as far as possible in any low light situations.



• Storage - ROOM TO SPARE
  
  The DSR/X comes stock with 28L of onboard storage volume in various storage compartments. From the covert stash spots on the motorcycle to the voluminous tank assembly storage sometimes referred to as a "fronk," the DSR/X is literally filled with thoughtful storage options that complement your favorite ADV riding gear. Also, the DSR/X can be equipped with dozens of bespoke storage cases from some of the most trusted names in Adventure Riding.
