There’s a reason the Suzuki Raider remains to be the undisputed ‘King of the Underbones’ here in the Philippines—it’s powerful. If there’s one thing this bike is known for, it’s speed. It’s almost comparable to smaller big bikes in this department.
But in terms of fuel economy? Well, the Raider isn’t exactly top of mind in this regard. But what many people may not realize, though, is that this zippy underbone can also duke it out with the best of ’em in terms of fuel efficiency. That was proven in Suzuki Motorcycles Philippines’ latest Raider R150 FI Econo Run held in Davao del Norte last month.

A total of 68 Raider R150 FI owners from all over Mindanao joined this year’s fuel-eco run, which consisted mainly of a 97km ride. The winning rider, Karl Diaz, was able to get a whopping 98.91km/L on his bike. That’s insanely impressive.
“Disiplina, focus, ’yung riding posture at sinunod ko mga techniques at styles na sinabi sa’kin,” said Diaz, when asked about how he got his victory. “Tsaka dasal kay Lord. Kaya ko na-achieve ito.”
