AI is no longer science fiction. It is starting to become part of the real riding experience.

In this episode of Tunay Na Rider: AI and the Future of Motorcycle Tech, we sit down with Mac Yu, distributor of Rokid, to talk about how AI-powered wearable tech is entering the motorcycle world today.

We explore how smart glasses and AI-assisted systems can help riders with navigation, awareness, communication, and safety. We also talk about what this means for everyday riders, long-distance riders, and the future of two-wheel mobility.

We also go deeper into the big question:

Will AI make riders better, or make us too dependent on technology?

The FJ Moto Mountaincross Rally is heading to Mindanao for the first time, and it’s just the beginning of something bigger for the off-road riding community. In this episode of Tunay Na Rider, we talk about how FJ Moto is expanding the Mountaincross experience nationwide, opening the door to more community-driven events like Off-Grid Weekends that celebrate real riding off the beaten path, tackling real terrain, and creating real connections.

We also dive into how FJ Moto and Ride United are stepping up for riders by partnering with R.O.X., making quality outdoor and riding gear more accessible to the off-road community.

From Mindanao trails to global adventures, this episode is all about where off-road riding is headed next—and why the future has never looked more exciting.

• What being a Tunay Na Rider means beyond just the bike

• How comedy, content, and journalism intersect in motoring culture

• Riding a Vespa in a world obsessed with speed and specs
