Powering both variants is an all-new 150-hp Revolution Max 1250 engine. This new creation is a liquid-cooled 1,250cc V-Twin designed to offer a broad powerband.

This week started with what may very well be Harley-Davidson’s biggest announcement of the year: the launch of the Pan America family of adventure bikes. As weapons to attack a whole new segment for the Milwaukee company, the two bikes come, of course, accompanied by a long list of customization choices. 16 photos
Together with the details on the Pan America, Harley also released info on what it has to offer as factory-supplied equipment for the two-wheelers. Everything is on the table, from luggage sets to windshields, highlighting the importance of the new moniker for the Americans.
Like most modern motorcycles, the Pan America has a riding mode for every season and reason. Sport mode maximizes throttle response and suspension control. Road mode softens the power in the mid-range and gives a softer ride. Rain dials both back again while Off-Road chops off the top end and softens the suspension even more. There’s even and I can’t believe there’ll be too many traditional Harley customers using this one an Off-Road Plus mode which disables both the rear ABS and the linked brakes so you can lock up the rear without washing out the front.

The liquid-cooled Revolution Max V-twin of the 2021 Pan America brings new levels of sporty performance for Harley-Davidson

America s most iconic motorcycle company has taken a brave step forward today, launching a brand-new bike with a brand-new motor into a weather-beaten adventure segment full of tough competitors. The Pan America concept from 2018, with a new Revolution Max engine, goes into production as Harley-Davidson initiates its Hardwire strategy and veers off the tarmac into the punishing unknown of the adventure bike class.
Last year proved to be a turning point for Harley-Davidson, and it wasn’t due to the pandemic. Shrinking sales figures have plagued America s most iconic motorcycle brand, and it s been a generational issue; if this company can t draw in younger riders and break out of the cruiser mold into wider, more diverse markets, it s toast.
