Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: New Zero models for 2024

Pretty sure that is a remnant from the 2023 model configuration or they intend for it to be for the DS/DSR.   The website clearly says wire wheels on the DSR/X.

I hope you're correct, gives a bit more justification to the price tag.

I don't see any option on the USA version of the website showing the spoke wheels as an option for the 2024 DSR/X.   All the photos of the 2024 DSR/X show spoke wheels.   No option for cast wheels either.   And the website reads:

Rubber side down

The DSR/X can navigate virtually any obstacle in its way thanks to its incredibly light and durable spoked wheels, 19” up front and 17” in the rear. These come wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires for uniformly excellent performance on all surface types. However, the indomitable Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires are available for those riders who want to upgrade their DSR/X into a fully trail-rated off-road monster.

Their configuration tool isn't great, when you go to 'Design' you can use your scroll wheel to scroll down. The wire wheel option is in that section.

So it seems that is the difference between the 75-10 and the 75-10X.  I found the 2023 specs on the wayback machine for the DSR/X and it has the same 75-10X motor as the 2024.

The 2023 DSR/X bikes seem to primarily have cast alloy wheels.   The 2024 DSR/X is shown having spoked tubeless wheels. 

There is no mention of the "Mudport Wheel Sprocket" for the 2023 that is mentioned on the 2024.

I think they also added LED turn and hazard indicators on the 2024.   The 2023 manual shows replacement bulbs for the turn signals.

Beyond those items, I didn't find any other differences.

I think they both still come stock with cast alloy wheels, if you use the configuration tool, it looks like it's an option to add them.

Anyone know if there are changes/differences between the 2023 DSR/X and the 2024 DSR/X?   There are still some pretty decent deals on the 2023 models lingering on dealer's floors.

From what I can tell, it's the same. Not sure if we are allowed to link, but looks like a Zero dealer in Orange, CA has a demo bike at a great price: https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/mcd/d/orange-super-sale-2023-zero-motorcycles/7675331213.html

No affiliation with them and never worked with them, but seems like a solid price.

General Discussion / Re: Experia versus DSR/X comparison
« on: September 27, 2023, 11:28:50 PM »
Great write up Don, I really enjoy your comparisons and I'm surprised, after a lot of hate for the DSR/X vs Energica, that the DSR/X is getting a lot of love. I personally love the time I got to demo the DSR/X.

I will say, in California I rarely see free level 2 chargers unless it's a destination charger for customers. At least on PlugShare they are fairly rare here in the Bay Area.

I don't know if it was resolved Don, but please reach out to SW-Motech here in the U.S in regards to the locks. https://sw-motech.us/

Their email is: info@sw-motech.us

I've reached out to them about different things over the years and their U.S. team is great. While you may have to pay for the locks, sometimes the part numbers change and they are still available under a different part number.

Even when products are purchased through Harley or Zero (not directly from them) they are fairly helpful in at least determining what's going on or how to resolve the issue.

At least my Harley branded ones for the Pan America came with locks, I find that odd yours didn't

Looks like Corbin has the seat on their website for customization: https://www.corbin.com/energica/eexgtcdse.shtml

I wonder how quickly Tesla will roll out Magic Dock to additional supercharging stations and what their decision criteria is.

Energica / Re: Experia Launch Edition Standard Features
« on: February 12, 2023, 01:46:54 AM »
I doubt that Energica is taking the touring market seriously.

30k touring bike without standard heated grips, no centerstand, without a semi active suspension, and now they also deleted Bluetooth?

It looks like a touring bike and is the best you can get in terms of range out of the electrics, but it's not really competing in the touring motorcycle space.

I think they will in time. Even bikes like the Ducati Multistrada V4S don't come standard with heated grips / luggage / centerstand / radar etc. They are all add-ons or packages.

The Experia is similar, you can order center stand, touring screens, heated grips or packages which have them.

It's just the Launch Edition, which was probably missing the center stand as they didn't get them in time. Energica switched focus to just getting bikes into customers hands as they knew they were behind schedule.

I hope Energica does incorporate radar, active suspension, adaptive cruise control etc like Ducati in the future. I just think it will drive price point higher and maybe they combat that with trim levels. So if you have the money you can get everything.

Did you order the Launch Edition in June?  If so, it was shown with a  centerstand. It will piss me off if I don't have a centerstand on mine.  I guess I will know for sure on Tuesday.

-Don- Borrego Springs, CA

Mine is a Launch Edition - no centerstand.

Hello,

Was a center stand included in the Experia Launch Edition standard features?
Yes, AFAIK, every option was included except for the keyless FOB that cost around $400.00 US more. I ordered that late, so I am not sure if I have it or not. I will know more on Tuesday when I look at my Experia for the very first time.


-Don-  Anza Borrego Desert State Park, CA (two J-1772's here--but no CCS--why I want 6KW AC charging on the Experia--perhaps that will be next).

It was not included. I don't believe they are supplying one either. It will have to be purchased after. Mine did not come with one.

My 2023 Experia is at the shop at A&S in Roseville!  I just now received the Email.

I will head back from this trip on Friday and be at the shop on Tuesday to finish the business!

I can complete this trip in my other RV soon enough.

-Don-  Borrego Springs Desert State Park, CA

Congrats Don! I'll be curious on your thoughts once you get a chance to ride it some distance.

No problem. Many people have called me Tom perhaps because of my username. Tom was my same-sex mate, we spent 42 years together, but he died of cancer in year 2016. We were legally married too, since when such became legal. But we were together since 1974 until he died in year 2016.

I will leave in my motorhome in a few days. I will still be online. I will get an email when they get the bike, but I will not rush back for it and I will just enjoy my trip. I will take my Zero DS with me as I always do on my RV trips.

-Don-  Auburn, CA

Sorry for your loss Don.

Enjoy the RV trip! Where do you usually travel?

If you mean me, (Don), no. But the local dealer says I should get mine in February. I will post here the day I have it or hear any other related news.

-Don-  Auburn, CA

Yup, sorry meant for you and anyone else haha. I should have remembered you always sign off as 'Don.'
