From a press release issued By Harley-Davidson:
EXPLORE ENDLESS HORIZONS: NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON PAN AMERICA 1250 AND PAN
AMERICA 1250 SPECIAL MOTORCYCLES DEBUT
Built to Endure, Designed to Explore, and Engineered for Adventure
The Pan America™ motorcycle is Harley-Davidson’s explore-it-all machine for
riders who see touring as detouring – on road and off. This rugged, powerful,
technologically advanced multi-purpose vehicle is designed from the ground up to
inspire rider confidence and fuel the spirit of adventure, wherever the road may
take you.
Harley-Davidson has leveraged its cutting-edge design and engineering
capabilities to create the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special,
all-new, adventure-touring motorcycles, each designed with premium features,
outstanding performance and innovative technology.
“From its inception more than a century ago, when many roads were little more
than dirt trails, Harley-Davidson has stood for adventure. So, I’m very proud to
present Pan America as the first adventure touring bike designed and built in
America,” said Jochen Zeitz, chairman, president and CEO Harley-Davidson. “The
Pan America models exude that go-anywhere spirit, shared today by riders in the
US and around the globe who want to experience the world on a motorcycle.” That
same adventurous spirt is deeply shared by actor and brand ambassador, Jason
Momoa, who is joining creative forces with the Company to bring Pan America’s
passion for adventure to the world.
Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models are powered by the new
150hp Revolution® Max 1250 engine, a liquid-cooled 1,250cc-displacement V-Twin
designed to offer a broad powerband that builds to a rush of high-RPM power. To
minimize overall motorcycle weight (Pan America 1250 534lb. wet/Pan America 1250
Special 559lb. wet), the Revolution Max engine is integrated into the vehicle as
the central member of the chassis.
Pan America models are equipped with technologies designed to enhance the
riding experience, including multiple electronically controlled ride modes plus
Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements. This broad collection of technologies is
designed to match motorcycle performance to available traction during
acceleration, deceleration and braking. The Pan America 1250 Special model is
equipped with electronically adjustable semi-active front and rear suspension.
As an industry-first innovation, Pan America is equipped with Adaptive Ride
Height (ARH), a revolutionary new suspension system which automatically
transitions between a low stopped position and optimal ride height when the
motorcycle is in motion.
Harley-Davidson design and engineering teams collaborated throughout the
process of creating and refining the Pan America™ 1250 and Pan America™ 1250
Special models with a vision guided by utility. Like a good multi-tool, function
leads the form of these Harley-Davidson® models. From grab handles to integrated
luggage mounts, to a horizontal headlamp configured to better illuminate an
off-road trail, function defines style. Inspired by the spirit of rugged North
American off-road versatility, the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special
models stand out visually in the adventure touring landscape, with design that
reflects the capability of the motorcycles.
Harley-Davidson® dealers will offer a complete line of accessories for the
Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models, including three durable
luggage systems, and new technical riding gear for men and women developed in
collaboration with respected European motorcycle apparel specialist, REV’IT!.
The Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models will arrive at
Harley-Davidson dealerships in Spring 2021.
PAN AMERICA 1250 MODEL
The Harley-Davidson® Pan America 1250 model is a rugged, powerful,
technologically advanced multi-purpose motorcycle designed for riders ready to
embrace real-life adventure. The riding experience is capable and intuitive, on
a motorcycle that stays composed and confident wherever your adventure takes
you.
Optimized Chassis
A focus on performance and minimizing weight drove both vehicle and engine
architecture, material choices, and aggressive component design optimization,
all with the goal of achieving a desirable power-to-weight ratio. The powertrain
is a stressed member of the chassis, eliminating the traditional frame. Three
distinct elements – the front frame, the mid frame and the tail section – bolt
directly to the powertrain. This design reduces motorcycle weight and results in
a stiff chassis that contributes to precise handling. The cast-aluminum swingarm
minimizes unsprung weight. The chassis is designed with a 62.2-inch wheelbase,
ideal for touring capability (especially with a passenger and loaded luggage)
and agile handling required for off-road maneuverability.
Cast aluminum wheels (19-inch front and a 17-inch rear) are designed to be
strong, yet light weight, intended for use on paved roads and un-paved surfaces,
such as gravel roads and fire roads. Harley-Davidson and Michelin
collaboratively designed a Scorcher Adventure tire for the Pan America models to
meet the demands associated with adventure touring. Michelin Anakee Wild tires
with an aggressive “knobby” tread pattern will be offered through
Harley-Davidson® Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories for riders seeking maximum
off-road traction and a bold style profile.
Brembo® Braking
Harley-Davidson and Brembo collaborated on an all-new braking system for the
Pan America™ models that is designed to provide the rider with outstanding
braking feel and performance. A new radial monoblock four-piston (30 mm) caliper
takes full advantage of the material characteristics to increase stiffness while
reducing overall weight. Dual front brake rotors are 320mm in diameter; single
rear-brake rotor is 280mm diameter. A new lightweight front brake master
cylinder offers adjustable lever response.
Adjustable Suspension
The Pan America 1250 model features premium passive front and rear suspension
that is fully adjustable for pre-load and compression/rebound damping.
Suspension travel front and rear is 7.48 inches (190mm). Front suspension is
provided by a SHOWA® 1 by 1 47mm inverted cartridge fork. Rear suspension is a
SHOWA® Piggyback reservoir shock with adjustable hydraulic preload. The rear
suspension incorporates a linkage system which provides a progressive feel
through the stroke and maintains a comfortable, compliant ride on-road, while
providing superior support for off-road conditions.
Touchscreen Display
All instrumentation and infotainment functions are displayed on a tilting
6.8-inch TFT touchscreen (thin-film-transistor, a type of liquid-crystal display
noted for high image quality and contrast). Its non-reflective glass cover makes
it easier to view in most lighting conditions. The touchscreen function is
disabled when the motorcycle is in motion, but the rider can use hand controls
to manage many functions of the screen display when the motorcycle is moving.
The display supports infotainment generated by the rider’s Bluetooth-equipped
mobile device, including music and calls. Navigation is supplied by the free
Harley-Davidson® App for iOS or Android.
Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements
The Pan America 1250 model is equipped with Cornering Rider Safety
Enhancements, a collection of technologies designed enhance rider confidence
during unexpected situations or poor road conditions. The systems are electronic
and utilize the latest chassis control, electronic brake control and powertrain
technology. Cornering enhanced technology utilizes an inertial measurement unit,
IMU, for optimal intervention when the motorcycle is leaned compared to when the
motorcycle is upright. Elements of Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements for the
Pan America 1250 model include: Cornering Enhanced Electronically Linked
Braking, Cornering Enhanced Antilock Braking System, Cornering Enhanced Traction
Control System, Cornering Enhanced Drag-Torque Slip Control System, and Hill
Hold Control.
Ride Modes
Selectable Ride Modes electronically control the performance characteristics
of the motorcycle, and the level of technology intervention. Five modes are
available on the base model (4 are pre-programmed and one can be customized).
The Pan America™ 1250 Special model has two additional modes that can be
customized by the owner. Pre-programed ride modes for the Pan America 1250
models include Road, Sport, Rain, Off-Road and Off-Road Plus. Each Ride Mode
consists of a specific combination of power delivery, engine braking, Cornering
Enhanced Antilock Braking System (C-ABS) and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control
System (C-TCS) settings. The rider may use the MODE button on the right-hand
controller to change the active ride mode while riding the motorcycle or when
stopped, with some exceptions.
Additional Pan America™ 1250 Model Features
The lightweight exhaust system is crafted from corrosion-resistant 304-series
stainless steel and designed to meet global emissions (including Euro V) and
sound regulations without compromising durability or the performance experienced
by the rider. The catalyst is located as close to the engine as possible to
minimize its size and weight and also keep heat away from the rider. A pair of
mufflers – one below the engine and the second on the right side of the
motorcycle – adds volume to the exhaust system, which allows effective sound
muffling with minimal back pressure, which improves performance. The exhaust
system is designed to create clearance under the motorcycle to limit potential
impact damage during off-road riding, and to not compromise lean angle.
The rider portion of the seat has a high and low position which allows the
rider to achieve a better fit on the motorcycle. Seat height adjustment does not
require tools. Unladen seat height is 34.2 inches in the low position and 35.2
inches in the high position.
A four-position windscreen can be adjusted with one hand, using a lever
adjacent to the display screen, through a range of 1.8 inches to best match
rider stature, preference or changing environmental conditions.
Cruise control is standard equipment.
A lightweight aluminum fuel tank holds 5.6 gallons for extended riding range.
The fuel filler is located forward on the top of the tank so it will not be
covered by most tank bags, making it easier to fuel up with a bag in place. The
fuel tank is shaped to optimize the capacity of the engine intake airbox, which
is located below the tank.
The Pan America™ 1250 model features all-LED lighting designed to deliver
signature style and outstanding performance with and additional focus on rugged
durability in the off-road environment. The Daymaker® Signature LED headlamp has
been designed using new photometric analysis technology to produce outstanding
“punch” down the road with a very homogenous spread of light; eliminating
distracting “hot spots.”
The front turn signals are positioned to be protected by the brush guard
during off-road riding.
