1924 MAG Stayer Velodrome Pacer These antique looking giants have been used on cycle tracks until recently because it was very difficult to find modern machines that could match their enormous flexibility without clutch or gears. Such a machine could accelerate very steadily without jerking from walking speed to about 60 miles per hour. For years it has been one of the pacing machines of the Paris Velodrome. Engine: 45 degree V-twin Displacement: 2,400 cc Bore and stroke: 105 x 138 cm Drive Train: Primary drive: Chain to Countershaft Final drive: Belt FAST FROM THE PAST |
