We Rode the New 2023 Zero DSR/X Electric ADV Bike

The 2023 Zero DSR/X electric motorcycle.

The 2023 Zero DSR/X is finally here and Zero Motorcycles is calling it the worlds most capable electric adventure (ADV) motorcycle. We like the sound of that.

If you want to read more detail about the 2023 Zero DSR/X, check out the full first ride write up from Tucker Neary at RevZilla Common Tread.

We had the opportunity to ride the 2021 Zero DSR Black Forest Edition electric motorcycles on a 1,000 mile ride along the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR). On the wish list after that trip was a DSR with more range, better suspension and faster charge options. It appears the new 2023 Zero DSR/X has delivered on all of those wishes and more.
