Motorcycle specifications Zero MotorcyclesDSR Black Forest Edition 2020 Ampères aim to go the distance

The DSR Black Forest is back. After a first run as a limited series in Zero Motorcycles' 2018 range, the "adventurer" takes up residence in the 2020 range. This DSR with backpacks offers a set of integrated panniers and electric riding provisions. On a single charge, adventure-seekers can take full advantage of the environment, with a range of 262 km in town and 126 km on the freeway. Still not enough to make a combustion-powered Adventure flinch, but it wants to believe... in its own way.

as an option, the DSR can be fitted with the Charge Tank rapid charger (which charges batteries 6 times faster). This charging technology rapidly recharges the battery, providing up to 152 km of range per hour of charging. Riders can also power their bikes using the extensive network of Level II charging stations throughout Europe.

the Zero Motorcycles DSR Black Forest Edition offers a hefty 146 Nm (almost 15 mkg) of torque, capable of propelling the whole package with striking vigor. No clutch or gear changes are required, thanks to Zero's Z-Force direct-drive powertrain. What's more, performance can be customized using Zero's mobile app to suit the needs and experience levels of as many riders as possible.

the model includes a whole range of accessories and options developed for adventure. The Zero Motorcycles DSR Black Forest Edition is equipped with :
- Black aluminum top and side bags
- Touring windscreen
- Touring saddle
- Crankcase cover
- LED auxiliary lights (for off-road use only)
- Headlight covers (for off-road use only)

the manufacturer's approach follows the trend of big machines dreaming of treks, frontiers and adventure. But the utopia is total. How can you travel the world and cover long distances with a machine whose range is limited not by fuel, but by charging stations? With the DSR Black Forest, you can tickle the forest, but don't go too big.
