The very first Lifestyle on Wheels Test Ride Xperience in Malvar, Batangas roared to life over the weekend, delivering two days of non-stop motorcycle excitement despite alternating sunshine and rain. Held at a purpose-built venue, the event marked a milestone for motorsports tourism in the region—and a fitting celebration of Mayor Admiral Art M. Abu’s 100th day in office, as he continues to champion the growing demand for motorcycle mobility in his municipality.
Mayor Abu’s presence and full support elevated the event’s significance, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to active lifestyles, tourism, and inclusive mobility.
“We’re proud to host the inaugural Test Ride Xperience here in Malvar,” said Mayor Admiral Art M. Abu. “This event showcases our town’s potential as a destination for riders and adventure seekers, and we’re excited to be part of this growing community.
Malvar has so much to offer—from scenic routes to warm hospitality—and we’re committed to supporting events that bring people together and promote outdoor lifestyles.
As I mark my 100th day in office, I reaffirm our vision to make Malvar a hub for sustainable mobility, motorsports, and tourism. This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long tradition.”
The venue featured two distinct tracks: an oval circuit for on-road motorcycles, where riders braved the changing weather to test performance and handling; and a dedicated off-road trail for the rugged machines of CFMOTO and Kawasaki, offering mud, gravel, and elevation challenges that thrilled off-road enthusiasts.
Adding to the weekend’s excitement was the Reso Heritage Ride, hosted by Reso Philippines. Riders embarked on a scenic journey through Malvar’s tourist routes using the Reso Pilot Pro app, which helped them navigate, connect, and conquer every twist and turn. The ride was more than just a tour—it was a celebration of community, passion, and the thrill of discovery.
“The Reso Heritage Ride at Test Ride Xperience – Malvar was a ride like no other,” said Adrian Gongona of Reso Philippines. “Riders pushed through exciting challenges, explored stunning routes, and shared unforgettable moments. 
Every smile and every ride reflected what our community stands for: passion, teamwork, and the joy of the journey.”
With guided test rides, brand consultations, and safety marshals on-site, the Lifestyle on Wheels Test Ride Xperience blended adrenaline with education—welcoming riders, families, and curious newcomers to experience life on two wheels.
The successful debut in Malvar sets the stage for future editions, promising even more thrills, more brands, and more opportunities to ride. Rain or shine, the road—and the trail—are always calling.
