Why the Winner X Is the ultimate motorcycle upgrade you deserve

Why the Winner X Is the ultimate motorcycle upgrade you deserve
Gadgets Magazine

The thrill of the open road is calling, and there’s no better way to answer than with The New Winner X—a powerhouse ride that seamlessly blends sportiness, power, and efficiency. Designed for daily commuters and weekend road warriors, the Winner X is more than just an upgrade; it’s a statement. With its muscular aesthetics, advanced features, and thrilling performance, it is built to give riders the edge they need while ensuring fuel efficiency remains uncompromised. If you’re looking for the perfect upgrade to satisfy your natural wanderlust, here are some indications why this sports cub is the ideal ride for you.

Weekend Ride is the New Quality Time

Whether it’s a scenic weekend getaway or a quick city escape to mountain roads and highlands, the Winner X makes every ride an adventure. With its 149cc 4-Stroke, 4-Valve DOHC engine delivering 11.5kW max power @ 9,000rpm and 13.5Nm max torque @ 7,000 pm, this bike also ensures you enjoy thrilling acceleration, especially if cruising a coastal highway ride. What better way to enjoy a nature trip than Winner X? Its fuel efficiency rating of 52.3km/L based on the World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC) is another reason to go for an adventure for days without overspending your gas budget. Powerful yet efficient, The New Winner X’s engine ensures smooth acceleration. At the same time, the ABS-equipped variants provide better control and stability for a confident, safe, and worry-free ride on any road.

You Appreciate Quiet Confidence

If taking a pit stop to underrated destinations, Winner X not only boasts speed but it also delivers refinement and convenience with its ergonomic seat design, making long journeys like you’re on top of the world. Its Assist and Slipper Clutch feature provides smoother gear shifts and prevents rear-wheel locking during sudden downshifts, making every ride more controlled and effortless. It’s not also a road trip if it means being disconnected for long hours. That is why its USB charging feature for ABS variants means you can use your phone for route planning, capturing memorable moments, or even music.  Additionally, its smart key system and built-in safety sensor are designed for added security and convenience, enhancing Winner X’s practicality and ease of use.  

You Value Acceleration and Stability

Craving for a true cross-country adventure while riding a bike that is designed for endurance? The New Winner X is undoubtedly the ride to take on this trip, as its ABS and liquid-cooled engine provide a perfect balance of safety and durability. Whether it’s a route that involves long highway rides with sudden stops in busy areas with twisting and slippery mountain roads, the ABS also ensures safe braking, preventing skidding on downhill sections. Lastly, making intermittent stops to high altitude destinations also promises a trip of a lifetime as Winner X’s liquid-cooled system ensures a smooth performance under extreme heat or braking on tricky roads.  

You Value Looks but Still Look for Comfort

From camping and beach trips to road trips, The New Winner X isn’t just about performance—it’s about style and ease of use. With its fully Digital Meter Panel, Smart Key System, and an All-LED Lighting System, it enhances visibility and convenience for every ride. Furthermore, the Anti-Theft Alarm and Answer Back System provide extra security, ensuring peace of mind wherever you go. Its sleek digital display, smart key system, and all-LED lighting enhance visibility and convenience, while an anti-theft alarm ensures security. Aside from its sharp lines and sculpted fairings that give the Winner X a sporty, race-inspired look, its three distinct variants are designed to deliver a legendary ride.  

The Standard Variant (SRP PHP123,900), available in Pearl Iceberg White and Infinity Red, features dynamic sporty decals that create a bold and energetic look. 

The ABS Premium (SRP PHP129,900), offered in Matte Galaxy Black Metallic and Matte Meteoric Red Metallic, exudes a refined and premium aesthetic with its gold 3D Winner X emblem. 

Meanwhile, the ABS Racing variant (SRP PHP131,900), which comes in Infinity Red, delivers an unmistakable sports bike image, further enhanced by a 3D emblem and gold cast wheel color for a truly standout presence.

The New Winner X is not just a motorcycle—it’s an invitation to ride with power, precision, and confidence. Whether you’re upgrading from your first bike or looking for a ride that offers both power and practicality, the Winner X delivers an exhilarating and reliable experience on the road.
