JOAN PEDRERO SECURES A TOP 10 PLACEMENT ON THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON PAN AMERICA 1250 AT THE 2025 AFRICA ECO RACE

As the largest motorcycle in the rally, the Pan America 1250 once again demonstrated its capabilities

FRANKFURT (01/16/2025) – Harley-Davidson is proud of the extraordinary performance of Joan Pedrero, who was back on his Pan America 1250 at the Africa Eco Race from December 28, 2024 to January 12, 2025. With the HD Adventure Touring Bike, the Spaniard won the class of multi-cylinder bikes with over 1,000 cubic centimeters.

The Africa Eco Race, a worthy successor to the Dakar Rally, is known as one of the toughest rallies in the world and takes participants over around 5,900 km through challenging African terrain before reaching the finish at the legendary Lac Rose near the Senegalese capital Dakar. Throughout the entire race, Pedrero remained among the top ten two-wheeled pros with remarkable consistency, proving his skills and the performance of the Pan America 1250 day after day with top performances.

Although he was competing against significantly lighter and modified off-road machines, he and his Harley exceeded all expectations and impressively demonstrated what the largest motorcycle in the field is capable of, even under the most demanding conditions. Pedrero's success follows Harley-Davidson's debut at the Africa Eco Race in 2024, where he also won a title in the over 1,000cc category on the same bike.

By redefining the boundaries of a large-volume adventure touring bike, the Pan America 1250 not only cements its reputation as a competitor, but also as a pioneer in the segment. What makes the performance of Pedrero's machine even more remarkable was its near-stock condition. For the second time she competed with only minimal modifications, such as a slight change to the radiator. Pedrero's motorcycle is powered by the standard 1,250cc liquid-cooled V-twin and it features the same set-up as the machines available to riders around the world.

“At Harley-Davidson, we pride ourselves on offering our customers motorcycles designed for real adventure, and the Pan America 1250 is the ultimate expression of that attitude,” said Kolja Rebstock, Harley-Davidson Regional Vice President for Europe. the Middle East and Africa. “Once again I was impressed by Joan Pedrero's incredible result. He achieved it with an almost stock bike that was also the largest motorcycle in the race. With this performance, this reliability and this durability, our Pan America 1250 is simply in a class of its own.”

The Africa Eco Race's rugged terrain of rocky trails, sprawling dunes and harsh desert landscapes presented participants with relentless challenges. For Pedrero and his Pan America 1250, it was another opportunity to demonstrate the bike's unyielding character and good handling in grueling conditions and further consolidate its top position in the adventure touring segment.

Harley-Davidson is taking part in this race for the second year in a row. Debuting in 2024, Pedrero made a splash by securing first place in the Maxi Trail category and finishing 25th overall.

His machine, the HD Pan America 1250, an exceptional adventure touring bike that combines the long tradition of the US brand with the latest technology, made a significant contribution to this success. It is powered by the Revolution Max 1250 and has already demonstrated its performance, endurance and reliability at the Africa Eco Race 2024.

West Coast Choppers

Joan Pedrero will now compete on the same machine, further cementing the adventure touring bike's reputation for robustness and reliability in extreme conditions.

Five episodes show Joan Pedrero's spectacular fight on the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250

FRANKFURT (03/11/2024) – Once again, Dakar professional Joan Pedrero made history at the beginning of the year when he finished the 15th edition of the Africa Eco Race on a Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250, the first HD adventure touring bike. The Spaniard took first place in the Maxitrail category and 25th place overall – on a standard motorcycle. Only small modifications were made to the radiator - due to the extreme desert conditions.

Now Harley-Davidson presents a new web series that follows Joan on his Harley during the Africa Eco Race. HD fans can now enjoy the impressive video clips of the fantastic racing action at HD.de/ecorace.

In five episodes, the new series follows Joan over around 6,000 kilometers from Monaco to Lac Rose near Dakar in Senegal. You can experience the performance of the Pan America 1250 as well as the spirit of adventure that both the bike and its rider perfectly embody and which is considered an important part of the US manufacturer's DNA.

The series also gives viewers a look behind the scenes of the racing action - for example when it comes to Joan's preparations for the international off-road endurance rally or the performance of the Pan America 1250 in the unforgiving sand of Western Sahara.

www.1903shop.de Tips For The Road 950x230

Since starting in the Dakar Rally was not possible due to the regulations, Harley-Davidson decided at last year's European Bike Week to compete in the Africa Eco Race, which took place from December 30, 2023 to January 14, 2024. A more than worthy replacement, because the tough competition was designed as a successor to the Dakar Rally, which has been relocated to South America and Saudi Arabia since 2009, and Joan Pedrero's participation impressively demonstrated the power and reliability of the Pan America 1250.

The Motor Company is confident that the daring Spaniard will continue to exceed all expectations and impressively demonstrate what the American adventure touring bike is capable of. Anyone who wants to join Joan in the 2024 Africa Eco Race can visit HD.de/ecorace .

The Wunderlich fairing guard EXTREME for the Harley Davidson Pan America

Protect the Pan America

(Grafschaft-Ringen, November 6th, 2023) Wunderlich recommends preventive protection of the sensitive cladding, because there is a risk of damaging it when maneuvering in a garage or public parking spaces.

The fairing bar reliably protects the faired stem and the area around the headlight, thus reducing the risk of expensive damage. In the event of a fall or tip over, the forces acting are optimally distributed via the protective bar structure to the resilient mounting points, so that force and moment peaks are reduced. Visually, the EXTREME fairing guard integrates perfectly into the flyline of the bike and underlines its striking appearance.

All details at a glance

The Wunderlich fairing guard EXTREME is made from 25 millimeter precision steel tube. It consists of two pipe segments that are formed on CNC pipe bending machines and then neatly welded. Assembling is easy to do. With Wunderlich brand logo.

In conjunction with the Wunderlich headlight and radiator protection as well as other adventure protection components, the EXTREME fairing guard forms a well-thought-out all-round concept to increase passive safety for your bike.

Crooked thing? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that!

Wunderlich manifold protection and heat shield for the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 made of carbon – anything but a “crooked thing”

The path of the rear cylinder manifold of the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 twists and bends and curves until it reaches the collector. Just like the manifold protection and heat shield from Wunderlich, which follows the curved organic shape of the manifold (comes from crooked) and fits perfectly into the side flyline of the Pan America.

Manifold protection and heat shield, made from real carbon. And since quality is above all else at Wunderlich, the specialists for high-quality parts and accessories have the protective cover manufactured exclusively by Ilmberger, the carbon specialist. It is a solid, yet lightweight cover that serves as thermal and mechanical protection to reliably shield the radiant heat of the rear cylinder manifold and prevent direct contact of the right lower leg with the hot manifold pipe. For good reasons, the Wunderlich developers made the carbon heat shield over 130 millimeters longer than the standard sheet metal.

This protects against painful burn injuries and prevents damage to protective clothing caused by thermal influences. At the same time, it offers a high level of mechanical protection against scratches or dents on the manifold that can occur when driving off-road or in the event of an unfortunate fall. The heat protection is constructed in one piece and is installed in a thermally decoupled manner, so that contact has no consequences. Functional, integrated design in a carbon adventure look.

All details at a glance

The organic shape follows the curve of the manifold so that it fits perfectly into the side flyline of the Pan America. Accurate installation using the included installation kit is extremely easy. The heat protection replaces the original series part.

Good to know!

Carbon has two very important advantages: These are the weight savings (usually a saving of around 70% compared to the original component) and the higher component rigidity. Ilmberger uses pre-impregnated carbon fiber matrices for the high-quality carbon. The fiber volume is dimensioned and the orientation of the individual fiber layers is defined. The matrix is ​​then hand-laminated without bubbles and coated twice with a protective coating. The additional clear layer of lacquer protects and underlines the three-dimensional effect of the carbon structure. After hardening in the autoclave, the carbon components meet the highest demands and the highest demands. This carbon component underlines the high-tech claim with the unique appearance of real carbon.
