Not sold in the U.S. Zero’s U.S. lineup has the DSR/X ($21,995, 17.3 kWh) as its only dual sport.
- Guinness record (announced Oct 13, 2026): Jelle Verstaen rode a production DS with the optional 3.6 kWh Power Tank (19.2 kWh total) 436.5 km (271.2 mi) on one charge, from Vars in the French Alps to the Mediterranean. That beat the previous record by about 78 miles. The ride was mostly downhill, at about 32 mph, on standard tires. A stock DSR/X went 238.6 mi on the same ride.
- Power: 11 kW continuous (A1-legal), with 45 kW peak per the UK dealer and Zero’s press material. One spec database lists 44 kW.
- Battery: current material says 15.6 kWh. Older listings (e.g. Bikesales Australia) still show the 14.4 kWh “ZF14.4” version, so check which year you’re looking at.
- Weight: 239 kg (527 lb) is the spec-database figure, and it matches the DSR/X chassis. Zero’s own page didn’t load a spec table for us, so it’s REPORTED.
- Price: £16,745 (UK), €19,010–19,490 across Europe.
