HARLEY-DAVIDSON PRESENTS THE NEW MODELS PAN AMERICA 1250 AND PAN AMERICA 1250 SPECIAL BEFORE
For adventures on and off paved roads
The Harley-Davidson Pan America is the right bike for explorers who like to take a detour - on the road and off-road. The robust, powerful and technologically advanced machine instantly captures the rider's confidence and awakens their sense of adventure wherever their path takes them.
Harley-Davidson is offering the new adventure touring bike in the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special versions. Both have impressive features, outstanding performance and innovative technology in common.

Harley-Davidson for adventure
„Since the company's beginnings more than a century ago, when many roads were little more than dirt tracks, Harley-Davidson has stood for adventure. That's why I'm very proud to present the Pan America as the first American adventure touring bike,“ explains Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and chief executive officer from Harley-Davidson.
„The Pan-America models exude this go-anywhere idea that is now shared by riders in the US and around the globe. They want to see the world on a motorcycle experience.“ The same spirit of adventure also inspired actor Jason Momoa to represent the spirit of Pan America as a Harley-Davidson brand ambassador.
The Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models are powered by the new 112 kW (152 hp) Revolution Max 1250, a liquid-cooled V-twin with a displacement of 1,250 cc that offers powerful performance right up to the highest engine speeds.
Pan America fuels
In order to reduce the overall weight of the motorcycle (kerb weight incl. operating materials: Pan America 1250: 245 kg, Pan America 1250 Special: 258 kg), the Revolution Max 1250 also serves as a supporting element of the chassis.
The Pan-America models are equipped with numerous innovative technologies that ensure a more intensive driving experience and greater safety. These include various selectable driving modes and the Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements electronic assistance system package. The latter adapts the acceleration and deceleration forces to the available tire grip.
The semi-active chassis
The Pan America 1250 Special is equipped with an electronically adjustable semi-active chassis. For the first time, Adaptive Ride Height (ARH) is available as an option on this machine. This revolutionary system automatically lowers the chassis when stationary and raises it again when the rider starts riding.
Throughout the development process of the new Pan-America models, the Harley-Davidson design and engineering teams kept the practical usability of the machines in mind. From grab handles and integrated luggage racks to a horizontally positioned headlight that perfectly illuminates an off-road trail, function defines form.
Inspired by the spirit of rugged North American off-road vehicles, the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models stand out visually from other adventure touring motorcycles with a design that reflects their capabilities.
Authorized Harley-Davidson dealers offer a complete line of accessories for the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models, including three rugged luggage systems and new men's and women's motorcycle apparel developed by Harley-Davidson in collaboration with renowned European motorcycle apparel specialist REV'IT!.
The Pan-America models are expected to be available from European dealers in June 2021.

I'm thinking about buying the Pan-America. Never had an HD. Now to my question: I have seen the price for tires at Parts twice as expensive as Michelin tires without HD imprint. do you have to drive these tires or do the normal Michelin tires also work?
Hi Oliver, I'm not sure whether Michelin already offer them without the Harley logo. That would only come into question once you have ridden the original equipment manufacturer's bare tires, by which time the price will certainly have changed.
Best regards
