Harley-Davidson’s first-ever adventure-tourer has finally debuted globally and for those who are interested, it’s called the 2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250. Designed to be rugged, powerful, and technologically advanced, it’s a bike that you can go the distance as well as travel on the roads less travelled (and less paved).

Going straight to power figures, the Pan America comes equipped with a 1,250cc V-twin liquid-cooled engine which produces 150hp and 127Nm of torque revving as high as 9,500rpm. Dubbed the ‘Revolution Max’ engine, the Pan America uses its V-twin power plant as the central member of the chassis which leads to a wet weight of 242kg (258kg for the Pan America 1250 Special).

The chassis is further enhanced with the additions of Brembo brakes (front dual 320mm radial monoblock four-piston caliper + rear 280mm floating single-piston caliper), fully-adjustable Showa suspension package (47mm inverted front fork + Linkage-mounted, piggyback monoshock), cast-aluminium wheels and swingarm, Michelin Scorcher Adventure radial tyres, 21.2-litre fuel tank, 868mm seat height, and a host of electronic riding aids that help to improve the overall riding experience no matter the riding condition.

The 2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250’s electronic riding aids include:
•    Selectable Ride Modes (Road, Sport, Rain, Off-Road and Off-Road Plus)
•    Cornering Enhanced Antilock Braking System (C-ABS)
•    Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS)
•    Cornering Enhanced Electronically Linked Braking (C-ELB)
•    Cornering Enhanced Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS)
•    Cruise Control
•    6.7-inch TFT screen
•    Hill Hold Control (HHC) + more

If you’re feeling a bit ‘boujee’, you can opt for the range-topping Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special that comes with a few more extras such as Semi-Active Front and Rear Suspension with Vehicle Load Control, Daymaker® signature adaptive headlamp, heated grips plus wind deflectors, steering damper, Adaptive Ride Height, tubeless laced wheels, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), centre stand, adjustable rear brake pedal, brush guard, and an aluminium skid plate.
