It's a combo of a smaller sprocket and more weight with the same motor.
Thx for the compliment guity, and I completely understand. It's hard to sift through all the BS, especially with ev's. I try my best to keep it real.

Oh yeah, the dual sport is based off the S, not the MX. It will be basically an S with knobbies and I've heard even beefier suspension.

Guity-
Don't forget, if you go with the MX, you either need an extra charger or need to carry the charger with you (not that big of deal).
Q- Do you plan on doing any trail riding or "short cuts"?
Q- How much of your commute is at 55mph? Hills?
I can tell you that either bike is more than capable of jumping ahead at stoplights.

Just trying to let you know where I was coming from. I am no one's enemy.
The MX out of the box (with the PRM) tops out at about 50 (or just under). We put a little taller gear on our X with the PRM and were getting around 55. The Mars seemed to have a little better top end, actually, but not same torque.

I'm not trying to spin anything guity. If anything, you're trying to spin my quick and honest response into "marketing speak". As I said, the bikes were in for a TV shoot, they were hot off the factory floor and I was told to "take it easy" on them. So, no wheelies and no full discharges. The bike does 60, but not much more than that.
The issue is just that we're living in different worlds:
You ordered a product a long time ago and have waited patiently, but your patience is wearing thin. I completely understand your frustration.
I wrote that last reply while spending three days with 2 X extreme's & 2 MX's all with the Baja Designs light kit and three brand new S's hanging out and shooting with some very good riders. All the riders and dozens of passer-by's were blown away with the bikes. I'm excited about the future of this company and am proud to represent them. I apologize if my reply was too rosy for you.
Picasso- You can't control the throttle on the dash like the X & MX. They're using the PRM 132 in the S, but I didn't get a look at the controller. It's geared taller and has more weight, thus not as quick from a standstill. If you're looking for that super quick acceleration, I'd suggest the MX with the PRM and the light kit. They went through the ringer for three days straight and came through flawlessly.
I'll post a link to some pics and a recap soon.

Hey Guity-
I'm not the wheelie popping type, plus we're filming with them tomorrow, so I'm trying to take it easy. I can tell you that the bike doesn't hit nearly the same as the X or MX with the PRM. It's real smooth from zero and seems to really start flying once you pass 15 or 20 mph. Definitely didn't test the range, but will have better info for you tomorrow.
All I can say is- be patient, the bike is just about ready for prime time, is a HUGE head turner and a WHOLE lot of fun. That 350 has a couple more days left in her.

Guity-
You make a good point, however if you've ever tried to complete a lengthy, complicated project you know things almost always take longer than you expect and the are always hiccups you didn't foresee. Zero could've rushed shipment and sent you a bike on time that would have problems down the road. Instead they are working out each and every little kink, so when you do get your bike you'll be stoked and happily Motoring for quite some time.
And seeing as I'm about to hop on a kink free S to grab some dinner, I'd say your wait is almost over

I agree, that RST fork is definitely the weakest part of the bike. Hopefully, the '09X is the last we'll see of it.
No idea on why they insist on the metric/standard mix for nuts/bolts.
The bike isn't perfect, but the '09 is better than the '08. I'm pretty sure the '10 will be better than the '09 and so on. They listen, they implement, they improve. That's about all you can ask.

Actually the "light kit" for the Zero X should be available any day now to allow it to be registered and street legal.
