Z-FORCE 75-7
The all-new Z-Force 75-7 motor is Zero Motorcycles' latest in a long line of enhanced thermal efficiency, passively air-cooled, interior permanent magnet AC motors. The Z-Force 75-7 shares the exterior motor hardware of the DSR/X, the pinnacle of the Zero dual sport line, to shed heat fast but utilizes different internal architecture to maximize power and drastically reduce weight. The result is overall cost savings for a category killer in the dual sport electric class.
-
POWER PIVOT
Just like the best electric dual sport motorcycle in the world, the Zero DSR/X, the DS features the proprietary and reinforced concentric motor and swingarm pivot design. This provides optimal architecture to ensure constant drive-belt tension and maximum torque delivery to the rear wheel. A custom-designed, large-bearing swingarm pivot allows ample space for the high-performance motor while allowing a slim chassis waist to enhance rider ergonomics and bike maneuverability either through traffic or through rutted-out back country.
The Zero DS is updated with a suite of standard performance features in Zero Motorcycles' latest Cypher III+ operating system. Bosch Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC), including the Offroad MSC that is also found on the DSR/X, is equal parts brawn and brains. Effortless power is paired with intuitive control, creating the new standard for premium performance at an incredibly attainable price point. The Zero DS is an adaptable motorcycle and powertrain combination that navigates diverse road terrain and conditions, effortlessly.
-
CYPHER III+
Cypher III+ sets the benchmark as the premier operating system for electric motorcycles, orchestrating the Zero DS with precision. The DS is infinitely customizable and comes with the ability to add new Cypher Features through the NextGen app. Elevate your riding experience to the next level with the Zero DS.
-
ARSENAL OF RIDE MODES
The Zero DS's arsenal of ride modes allows the rider to customize the bike's performance through Zero's intuitive NextGen app and dash interface. The DS navigates the road no matter the conditions with Rain, Eco, Standard, Sport, and Canyon modes pre-loaded along with a virtually infinite number of custom-tuned mode adjustments available. Bosch Offroad MSC can be applied to any mode, enhancing control in low-traction conditions. Experience unparalleled flexibility and performance tailored to your preferences and terrain.
The Zero DS is not just connected, but truly "smart" with the Cypher III+ operating system and available over-the-air (OTA) updates. Customize the dash, access the NextGen app with standard features, and enjoy limitless possibilities. Futureproof intelligence and unmatched power make the DS the ultimate ride with seamless connection in every detail.
