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 110V outlet overnight, in approximately 10 hours.
• MOTOR - Z-FORCE 75-10X 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 169 ft-lbs 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 delivers class-leading performance and efficiency with virtually no maintenance required.
• CHASSIS: With some unmistakable design continuity to some of 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 its way. 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 9.7” 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 - LINKED BRAKING: 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 industry's gold standard in auto-contrasting light sensing do all the work for you.
