What happens when you combine world-class adventure riding with a mission for social impact? In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of our recent ocular in Mt. Pinatubo, Zambales.
While the "lahar" trails are a bucket-list destination for any rider, the Tunay Na Rider crew is looking at the bigger picture.

We dive into:

• The Strategic Connector: How Ibba aligns corporate partners and community leaders.

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 also go deeper into the big question:

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