Engine & Performance Specifications
The heart of the 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Pan America is the advanced Revolution® Max 1250 engine, a liquid-cooled V2 four-stroke that delivers impressive performance for an adventure touring motorcycle. With a displacement of 1252.1 ccm (76.40 cubic inches), this engine produces a substantial 150.0 HP (109.5 kW) at 8,750 RPM and 128.8 Nm (95.0 ft-lbs) of torque at 6,750 RPM. The engine features a high compression ratio of 13.0:1 and a bore and stroke of 104.9 x 72.4 mm (4.1 x 2.9 inches), utilizing a double overhead cam (DOHC) configuration with electronic sequential port fuel injection for precise fuel delivery.
This powerplant provides strong acceleration and excellent passing capability, essential for adventure touring where you need confidence when overtaking slower traffic or climbing steep grades. The engine's broad powerband ensures smooth power delivery across the RPM range, making it equally at home on highways or twisty backroads. With a fuel efficiency rating of 5.11 liters per 100 km (19.6 km/l or 46.03 mpg) and CO2 emissions of 118.6 g/km, the CVO Pan America offers respectable fuel economy for its size and performance level.

The CVO Pan America features a chassis designed specifically for adventure touring, with dimensions that balance stability and agility. The bike has an overall length of 2,344 mm (92.3 inches) and a width of 1,095 mm (43.1 inches), providing a substantial presence on the road while maintaining manageable handling characteristics. The wheelbase measures 1,580 mm (62.2 inches), contributing to high-speed stability while still allowing for confident cornering.
Seat height is adjustable, ranging from 772 mm (30.4 inches) in the lowest setting to 798 mm (31.4 inches) at the highest, accommodating riders of various heights. Ground clearance of 180 mm (7.1 inches) provides adequate off-road capability while maintaining comfortable street riding ergonomics. The bike weighs 284.0 kg (626.0 pounds) dry, or 298.9 kg (659.0 pounds) with all fluids, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5283 HP/kg. This weight distribution and chassis geometry create a motorcycle that feels substantial and planted at highway speeds while remaining manageable at lower speeds and when maneuvering at stops.
