also raises the rear wheel off the ground to facilitate maintenance and tire changes, at home or in the backcountry. Multi-Position Rear Brake Pedal Without using tools, the rear-brake foot pedal height can be changed between two positions to improve control and comfort when the rider is standing. Standing while riding through off-road terrain can improve control of the motorcycle and improve rider's vision of the trail ahead. Brush Guard Tubular steel brush guards are designed to protect the radiator and help support the motorcycle in a tip-over event. Aluminum Skid Plate This rugged skid plate is designed to protect the engine crankcase from impacts. Daymaker® Signature Adaptive Headlamp Advanced Daymaker® Adaptive Headlamp technology utilizes the ABS IMU to determine the lean angle of the motorcycle and automatically project additional light into corners to illuminate areas of the road that may be unlit by an LED headlamp without this technology. This may give the rider more confidence on dark roads. The system includes three LED elements per side, located just above the main Daymaker headlamp. The adaptive lamps illuminate in sequence based on motorcycle lean angle, at 8 degrees, 15 degrees and 23 degrees. Rather than just switching on and off, the current to the adaptive elements ramps up gradually so the additional lighting is progressive and appears almost seamless to the rider. The system functions when the headlight is in either high- beam or low-beam mode. Heated Hand Grips and Hand Wind Deflectors Both provide added comfort when riding in cool weather. Heated grips have three temperature settings, selected with a button on the hand control. Steering Damper A steering damper enhances dynamic performance during aggressive off-road riding. Factory Installed Option: Adaptive Ride Height Harley-Davidson is the first to offer this technology in the motorcycle industry, and Adaptive Ride Height (ARH) is an option for the Pan America™ 1250 Special model only. Adaptive Ride Height unlocks confidence you can feel in different scenarios by enabling a lower seat height when the motorcycle is at rest, without compromising ground clearance in motion. This revolutionary suspension system automatically transitions the motorcycle between a low stopped position and optimal ride height when the motorcycle is in motion. The system allows the rider to mount the Pan America 1250 Special model with ease, and facilitates placing feet down to the ground at a stop, by lowering the seat height 1 to 2 inches (depending on automatically selected rear pre-load, which determines ride height when the bike is moving). Unladen seat height is 32.7 inches in the low position and 33.7 inches in the high position. ARH retains all of the features of the semi-active front and rear suspension. ARH does not compromise suspension travel – full travel is always maintained – and does not compromise lean angle, ground clearance or ride quality. There are four selectable Adaptive Ride Height sub- modes: Auto Mode: The system determines how quickly to lower the suspension based on how aggressive the braking action is, with the target of having the suspension fully lowered when the bike comes to a stop. Short Delay and Long Delay Modes: In these modes the lowering function is delayed until the motorcycle comes to a stop, so that full ride height is maintained while the motorcycle is moving at low speeds, such as when negotiating a parking lot. Locked Mode: The Adaptive Ride Height system will always maintain the normal ride height and does not lower at a stop. This mode might be selected by a tall rider who does not need Adaptive Ride Height to be flat footed at a stop, or for off-road riding when full ride height is desirable at low speeds. Factory Installed Option: Tubeless Laced Wheels The stainless-steel spokes are inserted through the aluminum wheel rim outside of the tire bead. These wheels offer the rider several advantages over the cast wheels in off-road conditions. This design allows the use of a tubeless tire, which eliminates the weight of an inner tube. The spokes are repairable in the field without removing the wheel from the motorcycle or removing the tire from the wheel. The laced wheels look both rugged and high-tech.
