Santa Cruz, CA (September 18, 2019) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in electric motorcycles and powertrains, is adding more depth to its lineup following the release of the transformational 2020 SR/F earlier this year. Adding to the fast-growing dual sport category, the company is reintroducing the popular EU Black Forest DSR Adventure Bike as an all-new Global model for 2020. The 2020 Black Forest DSR joins the remaining 2020 model lineup, which all enjoy refreshed colors, graphics and the power and precision of the Cypher II and Cypher III operating systems.
