2019 Zero DSR.
Santa Cruz, California-based Zero Motorcycles has announced details on its updated 2019 model lineup, which focuses on its popular DS and DSR dual-sport line.
2019 Zero DS and DSR Updates
The entry price-point DS ZF7.2 gets a boost for 2019, to the tune of 35 percent more power and an 8-percent higher top speed according to Zero. And since its smaller battery gives it a 96-pound weight advantage over its longer-range counterpart, it promises nimble, lightweight fun.
That longer-range counterpart is the DS ZF14.4, which uses the same battery as the top-spec DSR, extending its range by a claimed 10 percent over last year’s model. That calculates to 204 miles in the city and 97 miles on the highway.
Finally, the DSR gets dressed up with several popular items from Zero’s accessory catalog: a windscreen, tank grips, hand guards and a 12V power socket. Read our Road Test Review of the 2016 Zero DSR.

2019 Zero S Updates
Upgrades to the dual-sport line drove parallel improvements in Zero?s street lineup with the S ZF7.2 offering the same 35-percent performance jump as the base model Zero DS ZF7.2.
Meanwhile, the new longer-range Zero S ZF14.4 gets the DS ZF14.4’s 10-percent range increase, and can be configured to deliver the lineup?s longest range with up to 223 miles in the city and 112 miles on the highway.
