KTM Philippines invites local KTM Duke owners to take the challenge and display their motorcycle riding skills at the KTM Dukehana at the Circuit Makati Parking Grounds on February 25, 2018. Held in the country for the first time, the event promises to be an exciting motorcycle racing experience as participating riders navigate a street course that’s equal parts challenging and exhilarating.

The Dukehana is a motorcycle time trial sport in which riders compete to maneuver in the shortest time through a paved course restricted by traffic cones and other skill-testing obstacles. Participants riding skills will be put to the test with challenges like reversals, 180-degree spins, 360-degree spins, parking boxes, and figure 8s.

With this, the Philippines now officially joins the ranks of other Asian countries: Bangkok, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, among others, who have staged their own races, thus giving Filipino riders an entry to this prestigious international circuit.

Through the Dukehana, they will be able to fully exploit their unique performance characteristics using KTM Duke 200 and 390 motorcycles, performance machines that are built on the core values of purity, performance, adventure, and extreme.

KTM is also offering free diagnostic check-up for guests bringing their KTM motorcycles on the day itself.

Together with the Manila leg are two more legs: one in Davao on April 28 and in Cebu on June 2.

The overall winner with the fastest time on all legs will be the Philippine representative to the Dukehana Asia Final happening on the latter part of 2018.
