All-New Revolution® Max Powertrain

The next chapter in the famed V-Twins’ century-long story has arrived. The Revolution® Max is a liquid-cooled power plant with more than 145 horsepower, torque, and a surging power band designed for maximum rider control.

Different By Design

The design and technical teams at Harley-Davidson have created a concept based on usefulness and inspired by historic American off-road vehicles. Pan America is a robust approach where function feeds form in a distinctly Harley-Davidson package in a landscape of motorcycles that are reaching homogeneity.

All Terrain Long-Hauler

Pan AmericaTM is engineered to retain high-speed ride and handling performance even when loaded to the maximum of its baggage and weight capacity, thanks to H-touring D’s heritage. Pan AmericaTM is a refined, competent, and intuitive motorbike that remains composed and confident no matter how hard you push it.

Dual Purpose Powertrain

The Revolution® Max 1250 is a structural component of the motorcycle chassis that replaces the standard frame, reducing total weight and improving handling. With a low center of gravity and an extremely stiff chassis, you can feel the performance.

H-D®/ Michelin™ Scorcher

These tires mounted on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cast aluminum wheels were created cooperatively to satisfy the needs of on-road and off-road Adventure Touring. Michelin scrutinized every detail, from the internal structure to outward profile and tread, to improve performance.

Choose Your Ride Mode

Choose from 5 pre-programmed Ride Modes (Sport, Road, Rain, Off-Road, and Off-Road Plus) or build your custom mode by adjusting power delivery, engine braking, Cornering Enhanced Antilock Braking System (C-ABS), and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) settings.

Pan America™ 1250

Two Harley-Davidson Pan America adventure touring bikes on the open road. Everything Is A Highway. The vistas, sights, and sounds of seeing the world on a motorbike stimulate the senses, creating a profound, visceral journey. The all-new Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 adventure motorbike is a go-anywhere vehicle for people who are eager to push boundaries and don’t want to be limited by road constraints. Adventure touring riders seek new experiences in any direction and terrain to discover the unknown, sleep beneath the stars, and fully immerse themselves in the voyage. Pan America was constructed to let these explorers go farther until they reach locations few have visited. “I’ve logged many miles onboard Pan America in beautiful and isolated corners of the globe, and I’ve seen the innovations and capabilities that will let more people across the world experience our brand’s enthusiasm for adventure,” said Jochen Zeitz, chairperson, president, and CEO Harley-Davidson. “Pan America excites me tremendously. Harley-Davidson is a perfect match for adventure travel.”

Adventure touring aboard a Pan America 1250 is a spirit of limitless possibilities and unrestricted spiritual freedom. From roads to dirt routes, mountain peaks to river valleys, motorcyclists are drawn ahead by the desire to observe what lies beyond the next curve in the trail. This persistent character has inspired Harley-Davidson to create a motorbike that would appeal to daring, adventurous people who seek out the wild. Actor Jason Momoa, for example, leaped at the chance to work with Harley-Davidson on the Pan America launch following an early test ride. Momoa, a lifelong motorcycle lover, is the ideal partner to help launch the Pan America to the globe and demonstrate Harley-technical Davidson’s breakthroughs in the sector.

“Pan America is the machine that will enable me to take my love of Harley-Davidson to new heights, and I am ecstatic to be a part of it,” Momoa said. “It’s the nicest Adventure Touring bike I’ve ever ridden, and I know other wanderlust-stricken travelers would like it.”The Pan America 1250 motorbike is packed with modern technology meant to embrace the adventurous attitude, whether camping on a mountainside or across a dry lakebed. Multiple electronically controlled ride modes alter the performance characteristics of the motorbike to give confidence in a broad range of riding settings, making it simple to adapt to different terrain and riding styles. With Adaptive Ride Height technology, the Pan America motorbike brings a breakthrough in accessibility and performance.

When the motorbike is in motion, its industry-first motorcycle suspension system automatically changes from a riding posture to an appropriate ride height. At rest, the motorcycle’s lower suspension makes mounting and dismounting simpler without losing lean angles or ground clearance. The Revolution Max 1250 engine is also used in the Pan America motorbike. The newest in Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s illustrious engine lineage is a liquid-cooled 1,250cc V-Twin exquisitely crafted as the motorcycle’s aesthetic showpiece. The Revolution Max 1250 is built for off-road riding, with smooth low-end torque delivery and low-speed throttle control.
