Renowned Dakar rider Joan Pedrero has achieved a new milestone by winning the 40th edition of the Baja España Aragón 2024 in the Maxi Trail category, riding a completely stock Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250. In addition to securing victory in his class, Pedrero achieved an outstanding 21st position in the overall classification.
The Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 once again consolidates its reputation in the field of off-road performance. Equipped with the Revolution Max engine, a 1,250 cc liquid-cooled V-Twin, it has been the model that has most broken the mold for the Milwaukee manufacturer, showing a before and after after its presentation.
The Baja España Aragón 2024, which celebrated its 40th edition, is famous for its tough and technical course. Throughout it, the public witnessed how this production bike dominated the circuit, with Pedrero dazzling the spectators with his skill and the performance of the American model.
In the 2024 edition, the Maxi Trail category included motorcycles over 600 cc, making the competition even more demanding due to the presence of participants with lighter, race-prepared bikes. However, Joan Pedrero and his production Pan America took first place in the Maxi Trail category and 21st in the overall standings, beating 83 competitors.
Joan Pedrero has become an essential ally for Harley-Davidson, pushing the Pan America to the limit in multiple demanding competitions such as the Africa Eco Race, the Bassella Race and the Baja Extremadura, securing first position in the Maxi Trail category in all of them.
“At Harley-Davidson we would like to congratulate Joan and the entire team for this achievement, what a great result! The 40th edition of the prestigious Baja Aragón is a historic milestone that demonstrates, once again, that the Pan America offers unrivalled results both on and off-road.” said Kolja Rebstock, Harley-Davidson’s regional vice president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Harley-Davidson’s participation in this competition demonstrates the Pan America 1250’s capabilities and reliability and will certainly help the brand to continue developing and improving its trail bike.
