Key Features of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST

Revolution® Max 1250 Engine

The liquid-cooled Revolution® Max 1250 is the backbone of the 2025 platform and is integrated as a load-bearing element to reduce overall weight while stiffening the chassis. Tuned with a broad powerband and robust peak output, the engine’s responsive character supports fast corner exits, decisive passing, and smooth highway merging. The structural engine design lowers complexity and contributes to a planted, predictable feel at speed. Riders will appreciate the crisp throttle response and the way the powertrain’s linear delivery pairs with the street-focused geometry. It is an advanced, modern V-twin that retains authentic Harley-Davidson® character while enabling the Pan America® 1250 ST to operate confidently across varied pavement conditions.

17-inch Cast-Aluminum Wheels with Michelin® Scorcher Sport Tires

Fast steering starts at the contact patch, and the 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels equip the Pan America® 1250 ST with true street-bike reflexes. Wrapped in Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires, the setup promotes quick turn-in, tenacious grip, and clear feedback for confident cornering. Whether you are navigating sweepers or tightening your line through a set of esses, the rigid wheel design and performance tire compound communicate traction limits intuitively. It is an ideal complement to the chassis geometry and the lowered suspension tune, resulting in a blacktop-biased machine that feels eager yet controlled in real-world riding.

Adaptive Ride Height

Standard on North American models, Adaptive Ride Height (ARH) automatically lowers the motorcycle up to one inch at a stop to help riders establish secure footing. As the bike accelerates, the system seamlessly returns to optimal ride height for cornering clearance and suspension performance. There is no need to compromise between low-speed confidence and high-speed agility—ARH blends both without distracting the rider. Around town, in traffic, or pausing on crowned surfaces, ARH bolsters confidence without reducing the suspension’s effectiveness during spirited riding or longer highway stretches.

SHOWA® Balance Free Suspension with Electronic Pre-Load

The lowered SHOWA® Balance Free 1.8 inch fork and Balance Free monoshock create a suspension package that is purpose-built for on-road performance. Electronic pre-load adjustment tailors the motorcycle to rider weight or additional gear, while manual compression and rebound settings allow fine-tuning for your preferred feel. Lowering the center of gravity enhances stability under braking and supports a more neutral mid-corner attitude. The result is a planted, communicative ride that feels distinctly athletic without abandoning comfort on extended days in the saddle.

Brembo Monoblock Braking with Hub-Mounted Rotors

Stopping power and feel matter as much as acceleration. Dual front Brembo Monoblock, radially mounted four-piston calipers clamp hub-mounted 12.6 inch rotors for consistent braking even during aggressive riding. The rear single-piston Brembo caliper and 11 inch rotor round out the system with progressive, predictable control. The direct lever feel makes precise trail braking accessible, while the robust thermal capacity helps maintain performance over repeated stops. On winding roads, city streets, or highway exits, the braking system reinforces the machine’s confident, street-first identity.
