Harley-Davidson Unveils Pan America 1250 Limited

January 28, 2026

Harley-Davidson has unveiled the 2026 Pan America 1250 Limited and it comes fully outfitted for adventure, straight from the showroom floor. With rugged aluminum luggage and advanced performance features, this bike is designed to go farther and handle more than its predecessors.

Power and Performance
Under the Pan America’s bodywork sits a liquid-cooled Revolution Max 1250 V-Twin engine that delivers strong performance with approximately 150 horsepower at 8,750 rpm and 94 lb-ft of torque at 6,750 rpm. The engine acts as a stressed member in the chassis, contributing to strength and stability. Power is sent through a six-speed transmission featuring Harley’s Screamin’ Eagle quickshifter for smooth, clutch-less shifts up and down the gearbox. Braking is handled by Brembo dual front discs and a linked rear disc setup for balanced stopping power.

Ride Quality and Chassis
Both the front and rear suspension systems use electronically controlled semi-active damping that continuously adjusts to riding conditions using multiple sensor inputs. The bike rolls on tubeless spoked wheels (19″ front, 17″ rear) fitted with Michelin Scorcher Adventure tires, and Adaptive Ride Height helps lower the seat when stopped for easier mounting.

Technology and Connectivity
A 6.8-inch color TFT display sits at the center of the cockpit, giving riders access to ride data, customizable settings, and connectivity features like navigation and smartphone integration via Bluetooth. Riders can choose from nine ride modes, including several off-road-oriented presets. Lighting comes from Daymaker adaptive headlights with supplemental auxiliary lights to enhance visibility in low light and through corners.

Safety Features
Harley-Davidson has packed the Limited with an extensive suite of rider aids. These include cornering ABS, electronic linked braking, traction control with lean-angle sensing, drag-torque slip control, vehicle hold control, tire pressure monitoring, and wheel lift mitigation — all aimed at improving confidence and control in varied conditions.

Practical Gear and Design
The Pan America 1250 Limited comes with 120 liters of aluminum luggage, hand guards, heated grips, and protective elements like a skid plate, muffler guard, and radiator guard — essential for serious off-road touring. Ground clearance is rated at around 6.1 inches. There are three available color schemes: the standard Dark Billiard Gray, plus optional White Onyx Pearl and Olive Steel Metallic finishes (the latter two cost extra).

Price and Specs
The base MSRP for the 2026 Pan America 1250 Limited starts at $26,499. Final specs include a 5.6-gallon fuel tank, semi-active suspension, and a weight of about 661 pounds ready to ride. Learn more by visiting the H-D website at www.harley-davidson.com or by visiting your local Harley dealer.
