With its lightweight design and agile handling, the bike proved to be the perfect choice for tackling the demanding trails of the mountains of the Cordilleras.
The team was composed of veteran riders and VAP President Mr. Pat Cunanan, Mr. Willie Eustaquio, Mr. Ryan Tolentino, Mr. Joseph Fernando and Mr. Henry Gabriel alongside motorcycle media correspondent Ian Gongona. They all navigated over 1000kms with 11,542 curves and 23 checkpoints facing various weather conditions and terrain types. Adventure MotoVlogger Mcleen Amoguis (Boy Perstaym) also accompanied the team to document their journey and share their experience.
The team started in Baguio City which is also the first checkpoint and then on proceeded to the mountainous route heading to the 2nd Highest Point in Atok and Bontoc in Benguet and then cap the day in Kalinga.
