YAMAHA RETURNS TO THE ROUGH WITH OFF-ROAD EXPERIENCE

Yamaha Motor Philippines had been away from the dirt for years due to pandemic restrictions, but it has now made its long-awaited return. On June 25, Tanay Rizal hosted the first of ten legs of the off-road activity. Participants included media partners, vloggers, and professional surfer Luke Landrigan, who were all taught by iconic coach Mel Aquino and the Mel Aquino Yamaha Off-Road Training Camp team, off-road champion Borok Mangosong, and the Princess of Philippine Motocross – Pia Gabriel.

The WR155R, which is designed for enduro and trail rides, was used for the activity. The series’ dual sports excellence is the pinnacle of Yamaha’s signature off-road design, which improves performance in a variety of conditions. Participants went through a refresher course for handling, uphill/downhill riding, and 360 balancing to prepare them for the trail. They rode to the Pine Tree area first, then to Langit-langitan for a beautiful view of the clouds, and finally through Daraitan River.

The Yamaha Off-Road experience was set in Nueva Ecija for the second leg on July 23. They rode to Sundeline Overview for a fantastic view of natural scenery, then through a thrilling hanging bridge, and finally across a river to end the trail ride after holding an Off-Road clinic on the grounds of Fort Ramon Magsaysay.
