Suzuki brought its dominance to the streets with the Raider Street Show 2024 held at the country’s Motorcycle Trading Capital – Caloocan City last Saturday, November 9, 2024. A thunderous roar echoed through the streets as the brand hosts the first ever ultimate street spectacle with a parade of modified and customized Raider R150 units. The whole of 10th Avenue, Caloocan transformed into an artistic haven for Raider enthusiasts, a gathering of passionate individuals who share the common love for the versatility, agility, speed and style of the country’s undisputed Underbone King.
The Raider Street Show followed after the brand showed its force in the regions through the Raider Big Ride during the first half of the year. This time, the Raider set the floor on fire to celebrate the extraordinary craftsmanship of its dedicated builders. The event was held in collaboration with JRP Racing Products, a renowned brand for modification and after-market parts.
