The Pan America is the latest addition to the CVO lineup and also the first adventure touring motorcycle to get the custom treatment. The CVO lineup brings a host of performance and utility enhancements over the regular Harley Davidson motorcycles.
The CVO Pan America carries the 1250 Max engine, semi-active front and rear suspension, touch screen display, selectable ride modes, and Daymaker® Adaptive Headlamp technology. However, there are a lot of modifications under the CVO program, which further boosts its appeal among its fierce competition. These changes include adaptive ride height suspension, aluminium side and top cases, tubeless laced wheels, a quick-shifter, auxiliary LED lights and an aluminium skid plate.
Moving to the Road Glide and Street Glide models, also bring a host of mechanical and utilitarian changes over their regular counterparts. On the design front, both models are more powerful and dynamic, offer more power and feature new design elements. The enhanced fairing profile offers a cohesive dynamic flow from the front fenders to the saddlebags, boosting aero efficiency.
Furthermore, both models feature an updated Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine, which boasts a new cooling system. This results in optimised thermal efficiency and enhanced intake and exhaust flow for better performance. Furthermore, both models offer selective riding modes, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with 200W fairing-mounted speakers and a redesigned one-piece seat.
Sitting above all it’s the new CVO Road Glide ST model, which now leads the CVO lineup. The new CVO Road Glide ST is currently the fastest, quickest and most sophisticated Harley Davidson motorcycle money can buy. Its V-twin engine is tuned to churn out 128PS of power and 193Nm of torque, both of which are the highest for any production-spec Harley Davidson motorcycle. A lower final drive ratio further promises to enhance performance and acceleration in every gear.
Furthermore, Harley Davidson has further reduced its weight, which now stands at 363kg (dry). The weight reduction has been possible thanks to the lightweight titanium shells for mufflers and forged carbon fibre end caps. Additionally, the oil pan is formed of lightweight composite while the wheel design and brake rotor are optimised to lower unsprung mass.
