Puwede both? Suzuki proves the Raider R150 Fi is not just a performance bike but a thrifty commuter too 01

Suzuki Philippines (SPH) recently held the Raider R150 Fi Econo Run Mindanao, where 67 Raider R150 Fi owners in the region took on the challenge of achieving the best fuel economy on a 94.4-kilometer route in Davao del Norte.

Participants converged on the early morning of June 25, 2023 (Sunday) at the Gas Island Tagum Station for motorcycle unit inspection and fueling. Riders were greeted with fair weather despite the heavy rains of the previous day. The route consisted mostly of flat, straight roads with a few rough patches along the way.

The econo run ended at the same gas station, where individual fuel mileages were recorded by SPH staff. After refueling, all participants were invited for meals and socials at the Hijo Resort, where the official awarding was also held for the top five best fuel mileages.

The top five placers each received ₱ 5,000 cash, while all participants were awarded certificates of participation on top of the exclusive Suzuki merchandise given to them.

The Raider R150 Fi, together with its twin, the Raider R150 Carb, currently makes up 60% of Suzuki sales in the Mindanao region.
