NSU Rennmax review
This motorcycle was raced in 1953 with a new frame but the previous seasons engine. The engine Rennmax is easily identifiable by its Silumin block. The factory entered competition bike was victorious in 1953 in German ChampionShip events in Hamburg, Berlin and on the Grenzlandring circuit.





This fabulous 2-cylinder, 250cc, Rennmax NSU out 36hp @ 11000rpm dominated the sport in 1954. Werner Haas of Augsburg defended his world championship in superior style, by decisively winning the first four World Championship races on the silver Dolphin. The bike could go 131.4 mph, an astonishing feat for such small displacement. NSU had a 6-speed transmission, and weighed in at only 117 kg complete with fairing. NSU only built six of these bikes and were not-for-sale factory racers. More specs and user manual of NSU Rennmax you can see in next overview.
