哈雷戴维森(Harley) has taken the wraps off its first adventure tourer. Harley’s Pan America is the first time the MoCo has ventured into the “modern” adventure segment. Now with the rollout of the Pan America, Harley has its own in-house designed and manufactured adventure bike. Harley says it is the first adventure bike made in America.

泛美1250CCRevolution®Max发动机

潘美洲在两个版本中推出;泛美1250和泛美洲1250特殊。两者都由Harley的燃料注入的Revolution®MAX1250发动机提供动力。它是一种液冷的1250cc V-Twin动力装置，使得450 HP，并以6,750rpm施加一个要求保护的94磅-ft的扭矩。Harley说，发动机旨在“提供一种宽大的强力带，从而涌入高速公路的力量。”将电源转移到后轮是六速传输。

Frame

泛美将其发动机用作压力成员。框架由焊接的印章，铸造和伪造的连接组成。它还具有伪造的铝中间结构。

Pan America Suspension

On the Pan America 1250, you’ll find a 47 mm inverted fork that inserts into aluminum triple clamps. The fork is adjustable for compression and rebound damping as well as spring preload. At the rear, you’ll find a linkage-mounted piggyback monoshock that is adjustable for compression and rebound as well as “hydraulic spring preload.”

Moving up to the Pan America 1250 Special, you’ll find a 47mm Showa inverted fork that comes with technology-driven adjustability. The Special’s fork has electronically adjustable semi-active damping control. In addition, the rear monoshock has “…automatic electronic preload control and semi-active compression and rebound damping.”

泛美1250和泛美1250特价提供7.5英寸的前后行程和8.3英寸的地间隙。

刹车

Braking at the front is handled by a radially mounted Brembo monoblock four-piston caliper. It clamps down on dual 320mm floating rotors. At the rear, a single-piston caliper puts the whoa on a single 280mm disc.

重量

重量is always a significant concern for big adventure bikes. Harley says it worked hard to achieve a desirable power-to-weight ratio. They say that the Pan America’s design focuses on performance and minimizing weight. These parameters play a large role in developing the bike’s engine architecture, material choices, and component design.

Ultimately, the new Pan America’s arrive with a wet weight of 534 pounds for the 1250 Pan America and 559 pounds for the Pan America 1250 Special. Approximately 40 pounds of both bike’s wet weight is attributable to the fuel carried in the bike’s 5.6-gallon fuel tanks. With a claimed 48 mpg fuel efficiency, the Pan America’s fuel capacity could take you about 265 miles before running dry.

Tires and Wheels

The Pan America 1250 uses cast aluminum tubeless rims. The front uses a 19-inch wheel, while the rear uses a 17-inch hoop. These rims are shod with Michelin Scorcher Adventure radials. If you move up to the Pan America 1250 Special, the bike can have tubeless anodized aluminum spoked wheels.

Gauges

To let you know what’s happening on the bike, Harley has fitted a 6.8-inch viewable area TFT touchscreen display capable of showing speedometer, gear, odometer, fuel level, clock, trip, ambient temp, low temp alert, side stand down alert, TIP over alert, cruise, range, and tachometer indication. It is also Bluetooth capable and offers phone pairing to access phone calls, and music. It also has a navigation function using an H-D dedicated app.

人体工程学

The Pan America’s seat height is a rather ADV-ish 33.4 inches. However, with the Special’s optional Adaptive Ride Height (ARH) suspension, the unladen seat height can be as low as 32.7 inches. Adding a 180-pound rider can result in a seat height as low as 30.4 inches. Harley says that the ARH does not compromise suspension travel.

The bike’s four-position windshield can be adjusted with one hand through a range of 1.8 inches to make riding more comfortable. Also increasing comfort on longer rides is cruise control as standard.

The Pan America 1250 Special is equipped with other equipment not found on its sibling. Included in the list of additional equipment is a centerstand, heated grips with three temperature settings, a steering damper, a multi-position rear brake pedal, brush guards, and an aluminum skid plate.

灯光

To help you see and be seen, the Pan America comes with LED lighting. The “Daymaker Signature LED headlamp”, tail, stoplights, and turn signals are all LED.

保修和服务

潘美配有24个月无限的里程保修。它的第一个服务间隔有1,000英里，后续服务间隔为5,000英里。

价钱

The list of technology in the Pan America is very extensive. It’s going to take you a while to read through all of it. So if you’d like to skip right to the final details, we’ll let you know now that the base Pan America has an MSRP of $17,319, while the Pan America 1250 Special retails for $19,999. That pricing makes it competitive with other brands’ large displacement ADV machines.

With BMW’s base R 1250 GS starting at $17,995 and R 1250 GS Adventure priced at $20,345, along with Ducati’s base Multistrada at $19,995, and its S model at $24,095, the Harley machine’s pricing is competitive. That said, big-bore ADV bikes from Honda, Suzuki and Triumph are cheaper. Nonetheless, by comparison, any fears that the Pan America would be overpriced are now moot.

Technology

The Pan America bikes make significant use of technology and come with a large suite of technology and rider aids. There is a veritable alphabet soup of electronic controls to control many, many different aspects of riding.

• 转弯增强的电子连接制动 - C-ELB
  • C-ELB系统在各种制动应用下提供平衡的前后制动。当骑车者施加较重制动时，系统提供更多连接，并减少或消除用于轻动制动和低速的连接。
• Cornering Enhanced Antilock Braking System (C-ABS)
  • C-ABS是ABS的变型，其认为摩托车的瘦角。在转弯时，可以减少制动的可用夹具，并且C-ABS自动补偿。
• Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS)
  • C-TCS is a variant of TCS that accounts for the motorcycle’s lean angle. Each pre-programmed Ride Mode has a specific level of TCS and/or C-TCS. In the customizable ride modes, the rider can select from three levels of C-TCS intervention.
• Cornering Enhanced Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS)
  • C-DSCS detects excessive rear wheel slip under powertrain-induced deceleration. It will adjust engine torque delivery to better match rear-wheel speed to road speed. The action of C-DSCS is tailored when cornering, based on detected lean angle.
• Hill Hold Control（HHC）
  • HHC旨在使自信地骑自行充分驾驶，以最大限度地降低拉开所需的控制数量。该系统施加制动压力，直到骑手致动节流阀和离合器以拉走。

技术仅适用于泛美1250特殊

• 自适应骑行高度（ARH）
  • 使用四个可选择的自适应乘坐高度子模式，系统允许骑车者更容易地安装自行车，并通过将座椅高度1到2英寸降低，使其脚放下。
• Semi-Active Suspension
  • 利用传感器提供的数据在摩托车上，该悬架系统自动控制阻尼以适应普遍的条件和骑行活动。该系统使用Showa BFF（无余量叉），后部使用BFRC（无限制的后靠坐垫 - Lite）线圈震动。
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
  • 轮胎压力监测系统（TPMS）在彩色显示屏上显示当前前轮胎压力和后轮胎压力，并在轮胎压力低时显示指示器以提醒骑车者。
• Daymaker® Signature Adaptive Headlamp
  • Daymaker® Adaptive Headlamp technology utilizes the ABS IMU to determine the motorcycle’s lean angle to illuminate areas of the road that traditional LED lights may not light.

Ride modes

泛美骑手可以选择几种不同的乘车模式，并根据Harley-Davidson的说法，如下方式工作;

• Sport
  • 该设置以直接和精确的方式为“摩托车的全部性能潜力”提供全功率和最快的节流响应。C-TCS设定为其在路上使用的最低干预水平，发动机制动增加。在Pan America™1250特殊模型中，运动模式还将增加悬架阻尼的速度，以便以更高的速度增强骑手的反馈。“
• Road
  • This mode offers less-aggressive throttle response and less mid-range engine power than Sport Mode, with a higher level of C-ABS and C-TCS intervention. On the Pan America 1250, Special, Road Mode selects a suspension damping setting that delivers a softer ride than Sport Mode.
• Rain
  • 节流响应和功率输出被编程为显着抑制加速度，发动机制动有限，并且选择最高水平的C-ABS和C-TCS干预。在特殊模型上，雨水模式还将调整悬架阻尼以符合柔顺的舒适环境。
• Off-road
  • 这种模式是专为没有铺柏油的roads and moderate off-road situations. The motorcycle will deliver a mid-range level of power, and the torque curve is tailored for use in an off-road environment. This is less peak torque and horsepower at the upper end of the rpm range. In Off-Road Mode, C-ABS is active on both wheels, with interventions designed specifically for loose, unpaved surfaces. The C-TCS intervention is set at the same level as Sport Mode. On the Special model, Off-Road Mode adjusts suspension damping to an off-road setting for enhanced control over uneven surfaces.
• 越野加
  • “This mode is intended for use by experienced riders in the most challenging off-road situations.” Engine performance is the same as Off-Road mode. ABS function on the rear wheel is disabled, the linked braking function and the Drag Torque Slip Control (DSCS) are disabled. The TCS is set to provide the least intervention available. Front-wheel lift mitigation and rear-wheel lift mitigation are also disabled. The cornering enhancement to TCS and front-wheel ABS is disabled, meaning these systems will be at their consistent intervention level regardless of motorcycle lean angle. On the Special model, the Off-Road Plus Mode will adjust the suspension to have less initial damping for increased compliance over larger suspension inputs – bumps on the trail, obstacles or landing after leaving the surface.”

Rider designed modes

• Custom
  • “Custom Mode allows the rider to create a set of performance characteristics to meet personal preference or for special situations, such as a track day. To create a Custom Mode, the rider may select their combined preference of engine torque delivery characteristics, engine braking, throttle response, C-TCS and C-ABS intervention, and suspension damping levels (Special model only), within specific ranges. On Special motorcycles equipped with optional Adaptive Ride Height (ARH), the rider can adjust the timing of, or turn off, the lowering function. The rider can create one Custom Mode for the Pan America 1250 model and up to three different Custom Modes (Custom A, Custom B, and Custom Off-Road) fortheSpecial model.
• Custom Off-road Plus
  • “This mode will retain the engine performance setting selected by the rider for their Custom Off-Road Mode, but will select all of the other Off-Road Plus settings.”

很明显,哈利已经花了很多时间the Pan America’s technology and capability. As Harley’s initial foray into the adventure bike segment, the Pan America could be a “make it or break it” moment for its entry into the ADV category.
