DKW Lomos-Sesselrad 170 cc

The 1924 DKWLomos-Sesselrad 170 cc, mirroring the 1925 model, comes equipped with a slightly larger 169.6cc engine. Though specific performance details are absent, the larger displacement suggests a slight improvement in power and torque compared to the 142.5cc version. This could translate to better acceleration and the ability to manage small hills with a bit more ease. Similar to its smaller counterpart, the ergonomics would likely be upright and comfortable, designed for practicality rather than aggressive riding. The front drum brake, as the sole braking mechanism, underscores the importance of careful speed management. The target rider would likely be someone looking for a slightly more capable version of the basic DKWLomos-Sesselrad, perhaps for slightly longer rides or carrying light loads. This model represents a modest upgrade in performance within the DKWLomos-Sesselrad lineup, offering a subtle increase in engine capacity for riders who needed a bit more power. It retains the charm and simplicity of its time, appealing to enthusiasts of early motorcycle design.
