The liquid-cooled Revolution Max V-twin of the 2021 Pan America brings new levels of sporty performance for Harley-Davidson
Harley-Davidson
America's most iconic motorcycle company has taken a brave step forward today, launching a brand-new bike with a brand-new motor into a weather-beaten adventure segment full of tough competitors. The Pan America concept from 2018, with a new Revolution Max engine, goes into production as Harley-Davidson initiates its Hardwire strategy and veers off the tarmac into the punishing unknown of the adventure bike class.
Last year proved to be a turning point for Harley-Davidson, and it wasn’t due to the pandemic. Shrinking sales figures have plagued America's most iconic motorcycle brand, and it's been a generational issue; if this company can't draw in younger riders and break out of the cruiser mold into wider, more diverse markets, it's toast.
