The IMZ IŽ56 features a robust 346cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine, designed for reliability and easy maintenance.

Design-wise, the IMZ IŽ56 is equipped with iconic mid-century motorcycle elements, such as a round headlight and classic metal fenders. A comfortable upright riding position and padded seat allow for longer rides without significant discomfort. The motorcycle is compatible with a sidecar, enhancing its utility and making it family- and user-friendly. Its sturdy construction and strong frame allow it to withstand the poor road conditions of its time.
The riding experience is authentic and engaging thanks to the four-speed manual transmission and simple controls. Telescopic front forks and a rear swingarm with dual shock absorbers provide a balanced ride on various surfaces. Drum brakes on both the front and rear require a more anticipatory riding style but are characteristic and reliable for the era.
The IMZ IŽ56 uses a carburetor and chain drive, emphasizing the motorcycle’s simplicity and ease of maintenance. The 6-volt electrical system powers essential functions such as the headlight, taillight, and horn, consistent with the technology of the time. A low seat and a weight of approximately 170 kg make the motorcycle easy to handle and maneuver. It is designed to comfortably carry a rider and passenger, with the option to add a sidecar for greater versatility.
The IMZ IŽ56 (1958) is more than just a means of transportation; it is a part of motorcycling heritage, reflecting the essence of riding in a bygone era.
