The SWM with two wheel drive corrected by Helmut Tomascheck
It was in September 1981 that this SWM, corrected by Helmut Tomascheck, appeared at the German trial GP. This one, which in 1980 was already rolling with an Ossa of the same design, planned at the time to market a kit.
The front wheel was driven by a flexible 12 mm in diameter, rotating (at 70 km/h) at 10,000 rpm to limit the torque to be transmitted. Gilles Burgat then tried the machine and found it had amazing grip on slopes.
