If you want one just buy it with the cast wheels. Wheels are easy to replace, and you could have a set of cast wheels with street tires and an aftermarket set of spoked wheels with dirt tires.

I am thinking about that but the wheel package requires new spacers for the brake calipers front and rear and the total package to make the switch is about $1800. Spending $500 for the option upfront was a better option. However, I am not planning on doing a lot of rough stuff so the option may be providing capability beyond my intentions.

In the meantime I am scheduling a test ride the week of 5-July at a dealer that has a Gauntlet Gray Special with ARH and cast wheels on the floor. We shall see what happens!

Nice to have? Yeah.

Big miss? Not really.
Agreed.

Rode over to dealer yesterday to confirm that the change, no more orders with Laced wheels does not effect my order. My order was in before the stop for laced wheels. Yea
They could always just use the clutch. Pussies....

I own a 2020 GSA and test rode the Pan America. I found the GSA more refined with a better riding position. I liked the adaptive ride height on the PA, but that was it.
