It was an action-packed weekend as Wheeltek Motor Sales Corporation and Suzuki Philippines Inc. held the first ever Raider R150 Track Day at the Tarlac Circuit Hill on May 28, 2017 which was attended by hundreds of club and independent riders. Known for creating so many firsts in the country’s motorcycle community, Wheeltek, in partnership with Suzuki Philippines gave opportunity to everyone to try the Raider R150 on the racetrack for free.

The activity aims to gather all riders to feel the power and test the performance of the Underbone King on the circuit. And the more than 400 riders (both Suzuki and nonSuzuki users) took this chance to experience the highly acclaimed motorcycle which has been dominating the streets for more than a decade already. The riders geared up and owned the racetrack during their 10-minute lap with much enthusiasm. Understanding that the Raider R150 is a fast motorcycle they went to familiarization on the first laps then proceeded to their comfortable speed on the next ones.

Powered by Suzuki’s reliable 150cc carburetor engine with double overhead camshaft (or Twincam), 4-valve, 6-speed transmission, the Raider R150 has already captured the hearts of the Filipinos. The R150’s slim body holds very well its highly powerful engine giving a very light yet authoritative ride. All packaged in its very distinct appearance, the Raider R150 is always the choice of all riders who want to add more to their bikes through customization or modification.

The Raider breed’s dominance can be traced back in 2002 when the Raider R125 was launched. Two years later, the Raider R150 was born and it forever changed the course of the competition in the Underbone category. After more than 14 years, the Raider bikes have made their mark in the motorcycle community. Considered as the breed that leads backed up by its promising sales, the Raider has also formed communities of riders and enthusiasts sharing the same passion for riding and loyalty for the brand. The Raider R150 now comes in Matte Black Premium Edition priced at Php 95,900. The Reloaded version in black/gold and black/red is available as well at Php 94,900.
