Design and Cycle Parts
The Pan America ST features 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, designed specifically for on-road stability. These are paired with:
- Michelin Scorcher Sport tyres
- Front: 120/70 | Rear: 180/55
These upgrades enhance grip and control on highways, making it more suited for long-distance touring.
Optimized Suspension
To enhance stability and comfort on paved roads, the suspension travel has been reduced. However, it still retains:
- Electronically adjustable preload (front and rear)
- Manual compression and rebound damping
This setup ensures a smooth ride while maintaining the bike’s signature agility.

At the heart of the Pan America ST is a 1,252cc, twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, delivering:
| Engine Specs | Figures |
|---|---|
| Max Power | 150bhp @ 8,750rpm |
| Peak Torque | 128Nm @ 6,750rpm |
