First-ever KTMxHusqvarna adventure ride by Lucky MAPI
Ok, the main picture above was taken from the 2023 edition of the FJMOTO Mountaincross Adventure near Mt. Pulag, but this year, our friends from KTM PH would like to invite all KTM and Husqvarna motorcycle owners for a 3-day riding adventure around Mt. Data in Mountain Province and Baler, Aurora.
1,000-kilometer loop
If your ride begins in the south of Manila, prepare for an epic 1,000-kilometer journey curated by KTM Philippines between May 30 to June 1, looping through the stunning Cordilleras and the Sierra Madre mountain ranges. The starting point is Petron Marilao NLEX, and from there, the KTM-led convoy will take you through the picturesque route to Malico, followed by Aritao in Nueva Vizcaya.
After approximately 6 to 7 hours of riding, participants will enjoy lunch with a scenic view at Lolo Cancio’s, overlooking the picturesque Ambuklao Dam. The first day will conclude at the Mt. Data Hotel. The following morning offers an opportunity to witness the stunning sunrise from Mt. Data’s peak before returning to the hotel for a hearty breakfast.
The next leg of the journey spans about 340 kilometers, taking riders through the twisty Kiangan-Tinoc-Buguias Road and eventually to the highest point of the Philippine Highway System. The day’s itinerary also includes a stop at the historically significant Kiangan National Shrine, where General Tomoyuki Yamashita of the Imperial Japanese Army surrendered to the Allied Forces, effectively marking the end of World War II in the Philippines. Lunch will be in Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya, with the day concluding in Baler, Aurora, via the twisties of Quirino Province.
The final day of the adventure will be the ride back home, featuring a midday stop for lunch at Rancho Antigo in Talavera, Nueva Ecija. The journey will wrap up with a post-ride debriefing at Petron NLEX Southbound in Bocaue, Bulacan.

This 3-day, 2-night ride is prepared by our friends from KTM PH exclusively for KTM and Husqvarna motorcycle owners. Ride package starts at PHP 17,500 per rider, inclusive of full board meals, hotel accommodation, insurance coverage, support vehicle, and professional ride guide.
