Electrified adventures with Cypher III+ features
Just three months after Italian electric motorcycle trailblazers Energica unveiled what is thought to be the world's first fully electric touring motorcycle comes the DSR/X from Zero Motorcycles of Scotts Valley, California - billed as the world's first fully electric Adventure Sport model.
"Purpose-built to handle everything from the twists and turns of mountain roads to taming terrain beyond where the road ends, Zero says the DSR/X is "informed by nearly two decades of industry leadership and over 15 million miles of owner rides around the planet.
"The DSR/X delivers an entirely new experience of effortless adventure through precision on/off road performance and its patented electric powertrain technology. Equipped with our largest capacity battery, the Z-Force 17.3 kWh, DSR/X riders can extend range even more to a massive 21 kWh of charging capacity with the optional Power Tank upgrade.
"The DSR/X inspires confidence with an upright riding position and high ground clearance, coupled with instant and smooth acceleration powered by Zero's newest direct drive motor, the Z-Force 75-10X.
"This new motor configuration produces the highest output of power ever from a Zero - a massive 225 Nm of torque. 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) for improved on/off-road safety and control in variable traction conditions."
Zero says that the DSR/X comes in stock with every available Cypher III+ feature such as faster charging, increased battery capacity, turn-by-turn navigation and Parking Mode - which adds the ability to ease forward and backward into a parking spot or to aid in clearing tough obstacles.
