Pan America 1250 - Product Highlights

Built to endure, designed to explore, and engineered for adventure, the Pan America 1250, is launched at a starting price of INR. 16,90,000/- and Pan America 1250 SPECIAL at INR. 19,99,000. Available as a Completely Built-up Units (CBU), the Adventure Touring motorcycle can be booked at all Harley-Davidson dealerships in India from today onwards.

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.

An off-road versatile motorcycle, the Pan America™ stands out visually in the adventure touring landscape, with design that reflects the capability of the motorcycles. From grab handles to integrated luggage mounts, to a horizontal headlamp configured to better illuminate an off-road trail, function defines style.

The Pan America™ 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, the Revolution Max engine is integrated into the vehicle as the central member of the chassis.

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.

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.

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.

The Pan America 1250 model is equipped with Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements. Enhancements 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.

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.

All instrumentation and infotainment functions are displayed on a tilting 6.8-inch TFT touchscreen. The display supports infotainment generated by the rider's Bluetooth equipped mobile device, including music and calls.
