Is the off-road world ready for an electric dual-sport motorcycle? Zero's new trail-ready DSR/X makes its case.
Pointing to internal research that shows the average ADV rider stays around 15-25 mph on trails, Askenazi said the company's own testing at those speeds showed the DSR/X should provide a trail range of about 150-175 miles, offering anywhere from 10-15 hours of riding time—depending, of course, on how fast and how aggressively one rides.Backcountry Discovery Routes
Even handier is the bike's Park mode, which provides torque- and speed-controlled forward and reverse gears to make putting the sidestand down on a 544-pound bike a breeze no matter where you are. We've used this function while moving big touring bikes around garages and parking lots, but to use it on a dirt incline, with loose gravel and stones under our boots, was a revelation.
The inverted Showa front fork provides eight inches of travel, while the rear monoshock offers a hand-adjusted preload for customization when you're carrying luggage or a passenger. Both on the road and on the dirt, the suspension on the DSR/X was smooth and responsive, and braking was exemplary. The Zero DSR/X is equipped with what the company claims are the fastest Level 1 and Level 2 charge capabilities in the market, thanks to the onboard 6.6-kW Rapid Charge system. Owners can opt for a Power Tank to increase the battery capacity to nearly 21 kWh, or an additional Rapid Charge Module that will double the charging speed and reduce the minimum charge time to just one hour.
