[[Image:1961 NSU Supermax.jpg|right|thumb|1961 NSU Supermax]] | |||
A very advanced design by [[NSU]] with unique "Ultramax" valve operation using eccentrics and two connecting rods. Racing versions, the Sportsmax, were very successful, winning the 250cc world road-racing title in 1955. In just over a decade NSU had sold over a hundred thousand Max-based models. The Max was an expensive machine, priced level with the British 650 twins, but the quality was superb. | A very advanced design by [[NSU]] with unique "Ultramax" valve operation using eccentrics and two connecting rods.
