In a Facebook post, Yamaha Motor Philippines (YMPH) is set to unveil the latest addition to its roster on Saturday (May 25) at Bridgetowne Open Grounds in Pasig.

The company noted a separate statement that the “The PG-1 will empower the spirit of breaking free and push every motorcycle rider to leave all the reasons that hold them back from exploring.”

“This motorcycle enables every rider to have an authentic connection with nature where real exploration awaits,” the Japanese motorcycle’s local arm added.

Propelling the two-wheeler is a four-stroke, single cylinder, two-valve, air-cooled gasoline engine paired with a four-speed transmission. Its stopping power is guaranteed by the disc and drum brakes for the front and rear, respectively.
