The Revolution Max 1250 engine is designed to reach high RPM quickly and respond flexibly even at high power ranges with 1250cc displacement, 150 horsepower (@8750RPM) and maximum torque of 128Nm (@6750RPM). The V-Twin structure with an angle of 60 degrees has the advantage of improving balance and maneuverability by concentrating the weight in the center, and provides ample space for driving. Dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) reduce inertia, increase RPM speed, and increase maximum horsepower. The unified powertrain also stands out. The engine and six-speed transmission are housed in one case, reducing volume and weight, improving every aspect of motorcycle performance. The dry weight is about 242 kg for the Pan America 1250, about 253 kg for the Pan America 1250 Special, and the fuel capacity is about 21.2 liters.
Pan America features the industry’s first height adjustment innovation, Adaptive Ride Height (ARH).

Cornering reinforced electronic brake designed with IMU, an inertial measuring device for optimal intervention when tilting the motorcycle, cornering reinforced anti-lock brake system (C-ABS), cornering reinforced traction control system (C-TCS), cornering reinforced drag torque Driving stability has been reinforced with a slip control and hold system.
Stability can also be checked in the selectable driving mode. According to various terrains and driving styles, five driving modes can be selected by default, including Lane/Road/Sports/Off-Road/Off-Road Plus, and additional user modes can be configured on the Pan America 1250 special model.
