Zero DSR and FXS models
« on: March 05, 2015, 10:03:42 PM »

According to this article by Motorcycle.com Zero has trademarked the names DSR and FXS.  They speculate that this signals that Zero might be going to introduce an SR version of the DS and a supermoto version of the FX.  See the article here:

Those are both reasonable guesses, for the DSR => DS + SR and FXS => FX supermoto.

It also points to these model lines, as well as the S and SR, continuing into 2016. Zero has been very consistent with introducing the new year's lineup all at once.

The S and FX lineup of bikes are quite mature at this point.. I wonder what Zero's engineers have been working on.

The last time I checked Zero had a lot of engineers.  I am sure that they are keeping them busy.   :D   I wouldn't be too surprised to hear that they picked up a few Brammo engineers, too.  Nothing like getting a different input into your future designs.  :)
