When I first rode my 2022 Pan America 1250, I loved the versatility—but the stock exhaust felt polite to the point of being bland. It didn’t reflect the bike’s rugged personality… until I fitted the ZARD Slip-On Exhaust (2020–2025). What a revelation.

Performance That Speaks Loud and Clear

I chose the Racing version, and the difference was immediately noticeable. The stock setup gave way to a lighter, more responsive system—ZARD sheds about 2.3 kg, while also contributing a +2.1 hp performance bump. That combination gave the bike a newfound punch and agility that wasn’t just felt—it was demanded.
Crafted to Impress

The craftsmanship is signature ZARD: made in AISI 304 stainless steel with a durable matte black Cerakote® finish. Add in a carbon fiber end cap and heel guard, and you get an aggressive, yet refined look that pairs perfectly with the Pan America’s bold lines.
Street-Legal Sophistication

For riders who need compliance, the Euro 5 homologated version is a compelling alternative—still shedding 2.1 kg and delivering a +1.2 hp gain, all while staying fully legal.
Seamless Fit and Ride-Ready Start

The installation was frustration-free—a true bolt-on swap. No ECU remapping, no fitment drama… I was back on the road in well under an hour, with my Pan America now exuding both power and poise.

After logging thousands of miles on my 2021 Harley Davidson Pan America 1250, I decided it was time the bike sounded as rugged as it looked. Enter the ZARD Slip-On Exhaust (2020–2025) — and wow, did it deliver.

From the moment I fired up the engine, the bike's personality transformed. The deep, engaging roar demanded attention without ever crossing into obnoxious territory — refined power in auditory form.

Here’s what truly impressed me:

Real Performance Gains
I went with the Racing version, which sheds about 2.3 kg off the OEM setup and delivers a solid +2.1 hp bump. Compare that to the Euro 5 homologated version, lighter by 2.1 kg and still gifting you +1.2 hp. Meaningful gain without breaking a sweat.
Materials with Muscle and Style
Crafted from AISI 304 stainless steel and finished in matte black Cerakote, it not only stands up to the rigors of dual-sport riding but looks fantastic doing it. The carbon fiber end cap and heel guard add a rugged yet refined finish
Bolt-On Simplicity
I swapped the exhaust in well under an hour—no ECU remap, no drama. Easy as it gets, yet the gains felt immediate.
