presentation of the DSR 2020
A massive 146 Nm of torque transforms the versatile Zero DS into the exhilarating Zero DSR. A 775-amp high-power controller combined with an upgraded Z-Force® motor delivers spectacular acceleration to conquer any track or tarmac road. Like all Zero bikes in the 2020 range, DSR features the updated Next Gen app, ensuring a simplified connection with customized riding modes, charge status, various updates and bike diagnostics.
in 2019, a few improvements have been made. Zero DSR models since 2015 and later can be charged at up to 125 kilometers per charging hour using the aftermarket Charge Tank 6 kW accessory on Level 2 charging stations, 6 times faster than with standard 220 V sockets. Since 2019, the Zero DSR has been equipped with a long-term storage mode. In a world first, the motorcycle automatically optimizes the battery's state of charge to further increase its longevity. No complex procedures required.
