Through continuous sensor input monitoring, the DSR/X’s on/offroad MSC supports the rider by assisting during acceleration, braking, and while cornering or riding straight, regardless of terrain and conditions. Combining Bosch’s MSC System, renowned for dynamic acceleration and improved stability, with Zero’s Cypher III+, the offroad MSC’s full capabilities are unleashed. This marriage of leading technologies results in best-in-class straight-line ABS and cornering brake control, traction control, and drag torque control all to provide maximum control and safety for riders.

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. Bosch Vehicle Hold Braking is auto-canceling and will release brake pressure after three minutes have passed.

An all-new front and rear suspension tuned to keep the rubber in contact with the road provides a controlled, comfortable, and agile ride down the highway, with unprecedented capability in the dirt. Fully adjustable 7.48 inches of travel up front and 7.48 inches in the rear provide the added travel needed for offroad terrain. The rear shock features a hand-adjustable preload to dial in the perfect ride height based on load for on-the-trail adjustments.

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.

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 Zero NextGen app. 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. Each mode has a different performance profile in key areas such as top speed, torque, braking, and neutral battery regeneration.

The most intelligent motorcycle operating system available today is at the center of the Zero Adventure experience. In addition to the numerous customization adjustment options included there is a suite of features that allow for deeper customization of various performance criteria. The DSR/X comes with all Cypher III+ features included. Features include faster charging and increased battery capacity, turn-by-turn on dash navigation, and Parking Mode that provides a slow reverse gear to aid in getting over a critical obstacle or parking in a tight spot.

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.

With no emissions or noise pollution, the DSR/X is designed to leave 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.

The DSR/X includes adventure-minded touches to elevate the rider experience, like multiple storage compartments and the adjustable windscreen, and it’s intended to accept a full array of purposefully designed, accessory options to both increase capability as well as to accentuate its adventure styling. Optional accessories include saddle bags, skid plate, windscreen, cover, bike mat, top case, extended battery, and more.

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 Plugshare. Backcountry Discovery Routes, or BDR, the leading experts in building out motorcycle adventure maps, is partnering with Zero to bring all of their epic journeys to electric motorcycle riders. In addition to retrofitting all of the existing digital BDR catalogue of routes with charging infrastructure information, BDR is partnering with Zero to complete one of their iconic routes ridden entirely on the all-new DSR/X.

Public and private investment has led to an ever-growing network of nearly 100,000 public EV charging stations in the US alone, with an estimated 8% annual increase in charging infrastructure around the world — even in some of the most remote destinations. Using apps like Plugshare, ChargePoint, and EV Connect (to name a few), riders can find Zero-compatible chargers conveniently close to them.
