• SUZUKI SETS THE TREND AT THE 13TH INSIDE RACING BIKE FESTIVAL AND TRADESHOW

Suzuki sets the trend once more as the brand does another first at the 13th Inside Racing Bike Festival and Tradeshow (IRBFXIII) by merging fashion and style to each rider’s lifestyle at the World Trade Center (WTC) Manila on March 22 to 24. Suzuki gets to the rider’s individuality where they express themselves through their choice of motorcycles same way as they choose their clothing and accessories. Acknowledging the changing trends and the needs of the young market, Suzuki has shown that it is the fitted brand for the young riders and the young at heart as it brings together the things that they all love – style, fashion, self-expression, being unique and function.

Suzuki together with global homegrown brand – Bench proved that it does not only dominate the streets but that it can also warm up the runway through its latest motorcycles with their chic design and stylish colors that will surely make every heads turn.

RIDES THAT WILL CHALLENGE MOTORCYCLE TRENDS

Suzuki also gives the market a glimpse of the future by showcasing its upcoming motorcycles for the year that will challenge the country’s motorcycle trends.
