2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250: Adventure Harley style

The pan. America is powered by harley's, very new and very fancy revolution max 1250 engine which produces 150 horsepower 94 pound feet of torque with a decidedly unhardly like 9 500 rpm redline. The engine is water cooled and was designed using finite element, analysis to help ensure light weight and strength. It'S also packing variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust cams, as well as a maintenance free valve train, both of which are still kind of uncommon. In the motorcycle world, that engine is a stressed member in the pan, america, which helps keep weight down and rigidity up for the chassis. The rest of the chassis is pretty standard until you get to the suspension which, on the hi zoot special model, is a semi active electronic setup with automatic preload adjustment and multiple damping settings. Also, super cool is the adoption adaptive ride, height system that will drop the bike by an inch or two when coming to a stop. This makes flat footing the bike a lot easier for shorter riders and will make the bike a whole lot more accessible to more riders in general.

It makes use of a six axis imu that adds lean sensitivity to the anti lock braking system and traction control. The bike also gets wheelie control, rear wheel, lift mitigation electronically linked brakes hill hold control, cruise control and harley's drag torque slip.

All this is controlled through a tilt adjustable 6.8 inch, tft touchscreen that lacks carplay or android, auto integration harley plans to have the panamerica in dealers by the spring of this year with the base model, starting at 17 319, while the better equipped special will run.
