PRECISION PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL
The DSR/X inspires confidence on your journey through an upright riding position with high ground clearance, coupled with instant and smooth acceleration powered by Zero’s newest direct drive motor, the Z-Force 75-10X, to easily tackle extreme terrain.
This new motor configuration produces the highest output of power ever from a Zero- a whopping 225 Nm of torque, more than enough to power the fully loaded DSR/X and rider over any terrain. Rear shock preload settings are hand-adjustable to dial in a smooth ride with light or heavy loads.
DSR/X will be the first electric motorcycle with Bosch’s Off-road Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC) which adds further safety, control, and confidence for riders of all experience levels on/off-road in variable traction conditions.
A FULLY IMMERSIVE RIDE
With no emissions or noise pollution, the DSR/X leaves you feeling more impacted by the experience, while having a reduced impact on the environment. Boasting our industry leading, gear-less, direct drive powertrain that’s whisper quiet and impossibly smooth, you become fully immersed in your ride.
All this technology provides virtually silent performance and an emission-free ride that delivers a new experience on every adventure, from the twists and turns of mountain passes to taming the terrain beyond where the road ends.
INSTANT ADAPTABILITY & CUSTOMIZATION
The new DSR/X suite of available premium accessories rounds out this best-in-class, fully capable flagship adventure motorcycle.
Beginning with five standard ride modes, the DSR/X can transform any preprogrammed mode into an offroad mode through the Zero Next Gen App. The ability to adapt to any ride conditions on-the-fly is at your fingertips. Whether it be a weekend adventure or a daily commute to the office, select the ride mode that matches your needs and do it again whenever your needs change.
Bosch’s patented Linked Braking detects a loss of traction and activates controlled dual braking to further enhance stability. Plus, activating the Vehicle Hold braking feature allows the rider a moment to pause with confidence while stopped on an incline or decline.
LEADING ADVENTURE DESIGN
The DSR/X is purpose-built for pure adventure from the ground up, incorporating our latest, most advanced technology and an all-new chassis that is optimized for maximum strength, minimal weight, and maximum capability.
Its sleek modern design and geometry, combined with thoughtful ergonomics, provide confidence inspiring command over the trail. The latest technology that informed the design of the DSR/X is extended into a wide range of rugged accessories designed exclusively for this motorcycle.
The DSR/X redefines what is capable on an electric adventure motorcycle so that you can go wherever your adventure leads you.
EXPLORE FURTHER
Equipped with our largest capacity battery, the Z-Force 17.3 kWh, DSR/X riders can extend their range even more to a massive 21 kWh of charging capacity with the optional Power Tank upgrade.
All this capacity is supported by public and private investment that has led to an ever-growing network of over 90,000 public EV charging stations in the US alone. With an estimated 8% annual increase in charging infrastructure around the world including even in some of the most remote destinations. EV charging has never been so accessible.
These stations are convenient to locate on apps such as Zap-Map.
The DSR/X’s unique Z-Force 75-10X direct drive motor variant is specially tuned for the rigors of navigating rough terrain. The Z-Force 75-10X delivers 225 Nm. of torque and 100 hp of immediate power that effortlessly navigates any obstacle and reaches a top speed of 112 mph. All this along with Zero’s renowned internal permanent magnet, brushless architecture, and a passively air-cooled, compact design that delivers class-leading performance and efficiency with virtually no preventative maintenance required.

LINKED BRAKING
With the DSR/X, we are introducing our first bike that features 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 front and rear brakes simultaneously, providing added control when climbing or descending steep, loose terrain.

BOSCH VEHICLE HOLD BRAKING
Vehicle Hold braking is engaged when you come to a stop on a steep slope by clamping the brake lever all the way down and releasing it. Serving as a temporary parking brake, it frees the rider to make any adjustments needed on a steep pitch. When the throttle is engaged braking automatically deactivates allowing for a smooth start on a steep incline. Additionally, Bosch Vehicle Hold Braking is auto-canceling and will release brake pressure after one minute has passed.

GATES CARBON BELT DRIVE
Zero has collaborated with Gates Carbon Belt Drive, the leader in belt-driven powersport technologies, to develop a wholly 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 a more durable drive system that is less susceptible to the rigors of the terrain riders will throw at it than ever before.

RIDE MODES
A full suite of preprogrammed ride modes including Sport, Street, Eco, Rain, and Canyon mode are selectable on the fly through Zero’s dash interface and customizable through the next-generation app available for Apple iOS and Android. Along with these included modes, the ability to create custom modes allows for virtually infinite ride profile options to cater to individual riding styles or conditions. With the all-new offroad capabilities you can also add offroad traction to any one of the preprogrammed modes which achieve a new level of control in low or variable traction conditions of any kind regardless of the ride mode.
