Harley-Davidson 2024 Motorcycles: The Route To Adventure Touring
As seen in The Harley-Davidson: Since its pioneering debut, Pan America™ has constantly blown people away with its ability to take on whatever it comes up against. Solo or two-up, every adventure is what you make of it.
Adventure touring: EVERYTHING IS A ROAD
Competitive success is integral to Harley-Davidson® heritage; from time trials, board racing and scrambling to flat track hill climbs, road and circuit racing… we’ve nailed them all and then some. And since Pan America™ rolled out in 2021, we set our sights on conquering new challenges and terrains.
As the newest entrant in the well-established Adventure Touring category, Harley-Davidson stayed true to its heritage, refusing to follow the crowd and blend in. Revolutionary design delivered distinctive styling, a powerful new engine and pioneering technology that set new standards for ADV riders to reach new heights.
Being the first-ever motorcycle to introduce Adaptive Ride Height system, was just the beginning of the firsts achieved by Pan America. Developed for distance on continent crossing adventures and adapted to all climates with desert tours and mountain routes, this model family was engineered to perform.
In 2023, elite Dakar competitor Joan Pedrero became the first rider to contest and complete the challenging Basella Race and the demanding Baja Extremadura race aboard a standard Pan America™ 1250, before winning the Maxi Trail category of the Baja Aragón España race.
His adventures were rivalled only by British adventurer, Vanessa Ruck, who, together with her husband, successfully completed the gruelling Extreme category at the HAT (Hard Alpi Tour) Sanremo-Sestriere in just 40 hours on a pair of Harley-Davidson® Pan America™ 1250 S models. The achievement makes the British couple the first ever to complete this leg of Europe’s largest Adventour event
