First unit on the street!

The Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 is closer to the street. Proof of this is that the factory has already welcomed the first street unit, a milestone for a historic motorcycle that the brand wanted to celebrate with its workers.

The factory of the American brand has celebrated the manufacture of the first Harley-Davidson Pan America on the market. It is not a simple new model but a milestone that marks a before and after in its 118 years of history, since we are facing the first pure trail or maxi-trail bike in its history. To do this, it has not only created a capable chassis but also developed a new engine called Revolution Max de 1250 cc that it is not just another V-Twin but has been conceived for adventure and performance with the use of state-of-the-art technologies and materials.

The moment had to be recorded and the brand wanted to publish video and photos of the departure of the first Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 in which the managers wanted to involve their workers. Some of them are the third generation working in the American factory. They are less than 2 minutes, but we realize the need to involve everyone in this historic moment that takes place in the plant that the brand has in York (Pennsylvania, USA). So much so that the video is dotted with various testimonies from different workers, which makes an impact on the feeling of family, something that we also want to transmit to customers, essential for a brand as emotional as the ‘Company’.

The applause breaks explosively when the first is welcomed Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 during an event presented by the general director, Jochen Zeitz, at the foot of the production line where the chassis, tanks or fenders of this model are not only assembled but also manufactured, whose other parts come from the Milwaukee plant ( Wisconsin, USA).

The commitment by the leaders of the brand is clear: to enter one of the most thriving segments of the market as it is the most adventurous trail to register a turning point and return to the path of growth after several years with consecutive falls and with no aim to have an end. It will not be easy for him, since he will have to fight with other heavyweights such as the best-selling BMW R 1250 GS, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S or the Triumph Tiger 1200. However, the brand believes that the Harley-Davidson Pan America and the most equipped version Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special they are up to par in behavior, comfort, capabilities and technology. In fact, there is no lack of driving modes, cornering ABS, traction control or even semi-active suspensions, but it has also wanted to go a step further by innovating with the Adaptive Ride Height (ARH), a system that lowers the height of the ride. motorcycles automatically at stops, something that smaller riders will value positively, who sometimes tend to be more afraid of these big and tall motorcycles.
