In 1949 Adler was one of the first German marques to recommence production after the war. Right up to end of manufacture in 1957, it remained unapproachable as a maker of two strokes. Soon the touring Adler MB 250 was joined by the sporting 250 S, then by a racing version, the 250 RS with twin carburetors and swinging fork rear suspension instead of plungers. The Adler 250 RS motorcycle of 1954, still air cooled, developed 26 hp @ 7500 rpm, weighted 216 lb and was capable of more than 105 mph. Beginning in 1954, rider Hellmut Hallmeier perfected a water cooled 250 RS, whose highly successful racing career continued into the sixties. The last works RS Adlers ridden by Walter Vogel and Hellmut Hallmeier developed 39 hp at over 10000 rpm with a top speed of 125 mph.
