Horex
In 1923, when "Horex-Fahrzeugbau AG" was founded, 24-year-old Fritz Kleemann built the first real Horex, a 248 cm³ machine that also proved its worth in racing. Over the years, a product range of 250 to 800 cm³ machines was created.
Horex stopped motorcycle production in 1956; but now its rebirth with a VR6 engine is imminent: the new Horex had its public premiere at the IAA 2015, built in Landsberg/Lech by the specialists of the 3C Carbon Group. Jürgen Nöll's Horex bible, which had been out of print for a long time, is now finally back - in the best tradition of the company.
Horex was the most sought-after motorcycle brand on the German market from 1923 to 1958. The motorcycles, "built by motorcyclists for motorcyclists" according to the company founder, were something special even then. Today they undoubtedly enjoy cult status in the two-wheeler scene.
Jürgen Nöll, who two years ago described the history of the legendary company and its machines down to the last detail in his big Horex book, has created another monument to Horex in the popular STC series in the form of knowledgeable and lovingly selected (self-)portrayals of the brand with contemporary brochures, pictures and reports.
