Find out how The All-New Winner X is the perfect motorcycle for long trips.
Now that you have acquired The All-New Winner X, you are probably thinking of breaking your new ride by taking it on a road trip or a long ride. After all, long rides aren’t just great for breaking in your new motorcycle, it also allows you to explore new places, gain new experiences in a way that’s relaxing and open.
This hot weather offers ideal conditions for a long—and potentially cooling—ride. But what are the best destinations for such a ride, particularly if you’re from Metro Manila? Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the No.1 motorcycle manufacturer in the country, has come up with some suggestions for the best destinations for a memorable long ride.
Tagaytay
Tagaytay is one of the most iconic destinations for a long ride, and for good reason. It offers a host of unforgettable attractions, including cool weather, delicious local cuisine like bulalo, historic sites such as Taal Volcano, and even an amusement park in the form of Sky Ranch. Best of all, travel time to Tagaytay can be as short as 1 hour and 16 minutes from Manila, meaning you won’t need a lot of fuel to reach this destination.
In relation to this, The All-New Winner X features a fuel economy rating of 52.3 km/L (based on the World Motorcycle Test Cycle or WMTC), ensuring a convenient and economical long ride when you choose Tagaytay as your destination.
Batangas
If the beach is your thing, then Batangas is the perfect destination for a long ride. Batangas is home to a number of beach resorts like those in Anilao, Lian, and Matabungkay. Additionally, the price ranges for these resorts are quite varied, ensuring you can find one to fit your budget. And just like Tagaytay, Batangas is only about 3 hours away from the Metro. This means The All-New Winner X’s PGM-Fi fuel systerm will make your long ride exceptionally fuel-efficient.
Bataan
Not all great long ride destinations can be found south of Metro Manila. In fact, one of the most awesome destinations can be found due north in Bataan. From Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar to the beaches and coves in Mariveles, and the historic Dambana ng Kagitingan, there is certainly a lot to see in Bataan. Travel time to Bataan is slightly longer than the previous destinations, at over 3 hours. Fortunately, The All-New Winner-X offers a comfortable and ergonomic riding position with a 795mm seat height to minimize fatigue during your long ride.
Marilaque Highway
If you are the type of rider who just enjoys the ride itself, then Marilaque highway is the perfect destination for you. Officially starting at Marcos Highway in Marikina, it stretches for about 117.5 km, offering generally smooth roads and stunning scenery. Additionally, you can find several eateries along the road with awesome views, perfect for a quick meal and a selfie with Mother Nature as your backdrop.
More significantly, the Marilaque highway is perhaps the destination where you can truly experience what The All-New Winner X has to offer in terms of riding performance, specifically, with its 149cc, 4-Stroke, 4-Valve, DOHC, Liquid-Cooled Engine. This engine delivers 11.5kW max power @ 9,000rpm and 13.5Nm max torque @ 7,000rpm.
This engine setup works brilliantly with advanced features like Assist and Slipper Clutch, and Bank Angle Sensor, as well as Front and Rear Hydraulic Disc Brakes. The result is smooth acceleration and power delivery that doesn’t compromise handling control.
