CFMoto is officially stepping deeper into sportbike territory with the local launch of the 750SR-S, and honestly, this one’s a big deal. Priced at ₱566,900, it brings proper inline-four performance to Filipino riders without the eye-watering price tag you’d usually expect from this segment. At the heart of the 750SR-S is a 749 cc inline-four engine, and yes, it sounds just as good as you’re imagining. This isn’t just about peak numbers either.

Triumph has officially launched the Scrambler 400 XC in the Philippines, bringing the British brand’s modern classic scrambler DNA into a more accessible segment. Priced at an SRP of ₱404,000, the 400 XC promises to blend retro character with everyday usability — a recipe that’s already turning heads in the local riding community.

Verge Motorcycles is one of those brands that didn’t ease its way into motorcycling. From day one, it aimed straight at convention. Hubless rear wheels, radical design, and a clear belief that electric motorcycles shouldn’t feel like compromises put it on the global map fast. While still young, Verge matters because it’s willing to ship ideas others are still in the design phase. That context makes its latest move a big deal.

It's of utmost importance that our motorcycles respond to our inputs in a desirable manner. Unlike cars, which have four wheels, our bikes rely solely on two wheels, making it even more important for them to handle exceptionally well, exactly as the manufacturer intended. Like everything else, if our bikes are neglected, they won't fare well over time. Besides our engines, the handling of our bikes can be compromised due to worn-out or damaged components.

CFMOTO has come a long way from its early days as an engine manufacturer. Founded in 1989, the brand steadily evolved into a full-scale motorcycle maker with global reach, helped along by deep technical ties with KTM and a growing presence in racing and production bikes. What’s made CFMOTO matter in recent years isn’t just volume, but its habit of pushing higher-end tech into more affordable segments. That approach shows up clearly in the new CFMOTO 800MT ES.

When you think of adventure bikes, chances are the image that comes to mind is a heavy, high-displacement machine like the BMW R 1250 GS—and for good reason. Motorcycles like the GS are as popular as they are thanks to their engines and sheer capabilities. Indeed, adventure bikes are synonymous to long-distance rides, however, do we really need more than 1,000cc of displacement in order to really explore the backcountry roads? Well, the short answer is no.

Triumph Motorcycles has reshaped its 400cc strategy with two new motorcycles that go far beyond cosmetic updates. The Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400 sit on a new chassis and use the latest evolution of Triumph’s 398cc TR-Series engine, giving the brand a much broader spread within the small-capacity middleweight space. Both bikes use a revised liquid-cooled single that now produces 41.4hp at 9,000rpm and 37.6Nm at 7,500rpm.

It goes without saying that motorcycles are among the most efficient and versatile means of transportation out there. Leave it to us Pinoys to think of ingenious and sometimes crazy ways of carrying all sorts of things on our motorbikes. Indeed, a trip to the province will make it apparent that the use cases of motorized two-wheelers go far beyond personal mobility—with folks carrying everything from livestock, to produce, and even construction equipment aboard their two wheelers.

Honda knows exactly what the Transalp is and why people like it. It’s the brand’s do-everything middleweight adventure bike that focuses on balance instead of brute force. It’s approachable, versatile, and built for riders who want one motorcycle that can handle daily use, long rides, and the occasional rough road without drama. The new Transalp SP doesn’t change any of that. In fact, it doesn’t really change the bike at all.

Today’s rising gas prices are enough to make even the most extravagant spenders think twice about going out on leisurely trips. With gasoline well over double what it cost just a few years ago, and diesel now way more expensive than ever before, the temptation to ditch the car and go on two wheels on a daily basis can indeed be very strong.
