The new 201 ZDB was equipped with a 4-speed block gearbox with manual gearshift and flat pistons with angled flushing. With twin exhaust pipes, double pipe frame, chain in oil bath, internal shoe brakes and modern twist-grip throttle, it had all the systems needed to be a bestseller. But time was against large-scale sales on the civilian market.
