MILAN (November 5th, 2019) - At the EICMA 2019 motorcycle trade fair in Milan, Harley-Davidson is presenting its newly developed platform for the medium displacement segment for the first time and publishing initial data on the latest Harley-Davidson engine, the Revolution Max.

The powerful 60° V-twin was developed for a new series of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and is coming to market in two versions: with 1,250 cc for the Pan America and with 975 cc for the Bronx.

The two new releases, first announced in July 2018 as part of the “More Roads to Harley-Davidson” strategic growth plan, are expected to be available by year-end 2020. With them, the US manufacturer is venturing into new market segments.

Pan America

The new Harley-Davidson Pan America is a modern adventure tourer, a multi-tool for tough use that awakens wanderlust and makes you want to take long trips and discover the unknown.

Bronx

The Bronx is a racy, new streetfighter that is characterized by its unmistakable design and dynamic performance.

The two new Pan America and Bronx models are powered by the new, liquid-cooled Revolution Max engine, which was developed by Harley-Davidson as the basis for a completely new model family.

It is characterized by high elasticity, a wide usable speed range, exciting revving and powerful performance - all with a slim design and low weight.

To ensure optimally centralized masses, the engine is integrated into the frame as a load-bearing component, which in turn benefits handling.

A balancer shaft reduces first-order vibrations for greater comfort and longevity. With clearly defined lines, the striking design of the Revolution Max fits in with the decades-long engine tradition “made in the USA” and at the same time suggests new perspectives.

Revolution Max – technical features

• V-twin engine with liquid cooling

o Since 1909, V-twin engines have been at the heart of Harley-Davidson motorcycles The company is now continuing this tradition with the new Revolution Max engine in the medium displacement segment.

o A cylinder angle of 60 degrees provides space for two throttle bodies in a downdraft arrangement, which ensure a high intake volume and powerful performance.

o Liquid cooling keeps the temperature difference between individual engine parts small, regardless of the outside temperature and driving situation.

World-renowned partners in development – brakes and tires

In order to give the Pan America and the Bronx outstanding driving characteristics, Harley-Davidson cooperates with high-class suppliers whose solutions in terms of brakes and tires are perfectly tailored to the new models.

The development collaboration with Brembo resulted in a new, radially mounted four-piston monoblock brake caliper, which, in addition to clear feedback and powerful deceleration, also sets unique accents in terms of design. When it comes to tires, Harley-Davidson worked closely with Michelin.

Tires specially developed for each of the two models have a decisive influence on the driving experience and at the same time offer a high level of grip and performance in every driving situation.
