JOAN PEDRERO IS SUCCESSFUL IN THE AFRICA ECO RACE ON A HARLEY-DAVIDSON

For the first time, Joan Pedrero the Africa Eco Race on an HD Pan America 1250

FRANKFURT (January 17, 2023) - Once again, Dakar professional Joan Pedrero made history when he finished the 15th edition of the Africa Eco Race on a Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 : The Spaniard took first place in the Maxitrail category and 25th in the overall ranking.

For 16 days, Pedrero skillfully piloted a Pan America 1250, the first HD adventure touring bike. The challenging race highlighted the extraordinary capabilities of the machine, powered by the powerful, liquid-cooled 1250cc Revolution Max 1250, and demonstrated how much it embodies the spirit of adventure that is part of the DNA of the American motorcycle brand. Pedrero exceeded all expectations and impressively demonstrated what the US bike is capable of. Very few changes were made to it for participation in the race, making it an almost completely standard model. The few adjustments included small modifications to the radiator due to the extreme desert conditions.

In the end, the versatility, power and handling of the American machine left a big impression on both the audience and the other drivers.
