The 1923 DKWLomos-Sesselrad 170 cc, a slightly enhanced version, boasts a 169.6cc engine. While specific performance metrics are not provided, the increased displacement suggests a slight improvement in both power and torque compared to the 142.5cc variant. This could translate to improved acceleration and the ability to tackle gentle inclines with greater ease. Similar to its smaller sibling, the riding position would likely be upright and comfortable, emphasizing practicality over sporty performance. The front drum brake, as the sole braking mechanism, underscores the importance of managing speed carefully. The target rider would likely be someone seeking a slightly more capable version of the basic DKWLomos-Sesselrad, perhaps for slightly longer journeys or carrying light loads. This model represents a modest step up in performance within the DKWLomos-Sesselrad family, offering a subtle increase in engine capacity for riders who required a little extra power. It retains the charm and simplicity of its era, appealing to enthusiasts of early motorcycle engineering.
