2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America Finally Released - Details, Specs, And Pricing

2021 #HarleyDavidson #PanAmerica Finally Released - Details, #Specs, And Pricing. Ready for a new adventure.
The idea of an adventure Harley first surfaced in 2018, when the Motor Company unveiled its More Roads to Harley strategy. In an attempt to make the brand more appealing to a broader, younger audience, the company announced it would get out of its niche and enter new segments. The plan notably included developing small (250 to 500cc) and mid-size (500 to 1,250cc) new platforms, branching out into new segments, and launching the long-awaited LiveWire.
That's when we first met the Pan America—Harley's upcoming new champion in the adventure bike ring. At the time, the company's goal was to introduce the bike in 2020, however, things didn't exactly go as planned. Former CEO Levatich got sacked in February, 2020, and his ambitious strategy was entirely scrapped by the new management, replaced with the aggressively more conservative Hardwire strategy.
Under new president and CEO Jochen Zeitz's lead, Harley considerably cut back on the number of new models in its pipeline and only two out of the lot made the cut: an unnamed 1250 power cruiser and the Pan America. A little over a year after it was formally introduced at EICMA 2019, the all-new 2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 is finally here. By the looks of it, Harley did its homework and gives us a bike we can really be excited about.
Pricing
Harley's shiny new adventurer is offered in two trim levels. The base one starts at $17,139 and is available in your choice of Silver Rock Gray or Vivid Black colorways. The higher trim level, dubbed Pan America 1250 Special, starts at $19,999 and is offered with four livery options: River Rock Dark Gray, Vivid Black, Deadwood Green, and Baja Orange & Stone Washed White Pearl (which is the color scheme we've been seeing for the past year).
The Special trim level adds a few adventure-oriented perks to the menu of features, including a center stand, a multi-position rear brake pedal that can be adjusted to the riding position (standing or seated), a steering damper, a skid plate, a brush guard, heated grips, handguards, an adaptive headlight, a tire pressure monitoring system, and semi-active front and rear suspension with vehicle load control. The suspension at the back is electronically controlled and comes with five settings for added or reduced stiffness.
Like with any other bike in the lineup, Harley offers a vast collection of accessories for the Pan Am including different sets of luggage. The Special can also receive optional features includes wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tires and adaptive ride height.
Pricing looks about right for the segment. Comparatively, the BMW R 1250 GS sets you back $17,995, the Ducati Multistrada V4; $19,995, and the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S; $18,599. The new Harley Pan America 1250 is going to be available in Spring 2021.
Engine
When it showed the bike in the metal for the first time in 2019, Harley-Davidson also confirmed the introduction of a new family of engines, dubbed Revolution Max. At the time, the 60-degree, liquid-cooled twin was going to be available in two sizes: 975cc and 1,252cc.
While it's unclear whether we'll get the smaller variant at all as it was meant to launch with the Bronx—a model that seemingly didn't make it into Harley's new corporate strategy—the bigger version is the one we find at the core of the new Pan Am.
The company explains that the cylinders' angle helps keep the block compact while also leaving enough space to fit the block with dual downdraft throttle bodies designed to maximize the air intake which results in improved performance.
The new 1,252cc V-twin has a bore and stroke of 105mm x 72mm and a compression ratio of 13:1. Its output is rated at 150 horsepower at 9,000rpm and 94 lb-ft of torque at 6,750rpm. The use of a dual-overhead-cam (DOHC) allows the engine to rev higher and to receive Variable Valve Timing (VVT) on the intake and exhaust cams which, Harley says, broadens the powerband, improves torque efficiency, and "may" improve fuel efficiency.
The engine is paired with a six-speed transmission with clutch assist and slipper functions to make the pull lighter and keep the engine from over-revving.
