The powerful 60° V-twin was developed for a new series of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and is available in two versions: with 1,250 cubic centimeters for the Pan America and with 975 cubic centimeters for the Bronx.
The two new models, which were first announced in July 2018 as part of the „More Roads to Harley-Davidson“ strategic growth plan, are expected to be available at the end of 2020. With these models, the US manufacturer is entering new market segments.

The two new models, Pan America and Bronx, are powered by the equally 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, impressive responsiveness, and powerful performance—all in a slim design and low weight.
To achieve optimum centralized masses, the engine is integrated into the frame as a load-bearing component, which in turn improves handling.
A balance shaft reduces first-order vibrations for greater comfort and durability. With its clearly defined lines, the striking design of the Revolution Max fits seamlessly into the decades-long tradition of engines „made in the USA“ while also hinting at new perspectives.

Revolution Max – technical features
• Liquid-cooled V-twin engine
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 mid-capacity segment.
o A cylinder angle of 60 degrees provides space for two throttle bodies in downdraft arrangement, which ensure a high intake volume and powerful performance.
o Liquid cooling keeps the temperature difference between individual engine parts low, regardless of the outside temperature and driving situation.
World-renowned partners in development – brakes and tires
To give the Pan America and Bronx outstanding handling characteristics, Harley-Davidson is collaborating with high-end suppliers whose braking and tire solutions are perfectly tailored to the new models.
The development collaboration with Brembo resulted in a new, radially mounted four-piston monoblock brake caliper, which not only provides clear feedback and powerful deceleration, but also sets its own accents in terms of design. Harley-Davidson worked closely with Michelin on the tires.
Tires developed specifically 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.
