ORANI, Bataan, Philippines – July 2026 – CFMOTO Philippines successfully concluded the 2026 CFMOTO MT Challenge – Philippine Qualifiers, a two-day adventure riding competition held at KDR Adventure Camp in Orani, Bataan. Bringing together the country’s top CFMOTO MT Series owners, the event tested riders through demanding technical obstacles and challenging off-road trails, highlighting both rider skill and the adventure-ready capabilities of the CFMOTO MT lineup. The competition underscored CFMOTO Philippines’ commitment to promoting responsible adventure riding and developing world-class Filipino riders.

The opening day featured a grueling technical course consisting of 45 obstacles that evaluated riders’ balance, precision, control, and riding technique. Mico Marges emerged as the Day 1 leader after posting the highest score, followed closely by Aldrin Amar and Ralph Ramento. On the second day, competitors tackled an off-road adventure trail that tested endurance, navigation, and consistency across difficult terrain, with several riders unable to complete the demanding course. Mico Marges once again topped the trail stage, followed by Ralph Ramento and Michael Trajano.

After combining the results from both stages, Mico Marges claimed the overall championship, while Ralph Ramento secured first runner-up honors and Michael Trajano completed a remarkable comeback to finish as second runner-up. The trio earned the distinction of representing the Philippines at the 2026 CFMOTO MT Challenge Global Finals in Spain, where they will compete against the world’s best CFMOTO MT riders.

The successful staging of this year’s qualifiers highlighted the continued growth of the country’s adventure riding community while reinforcing CFMOTO Philippines’ dedication to creating world-class riding experiences. The company also expressed its gratitude to all participants, organizers, marshals, partners, sponsors, and supporters whose contributions made the event a success, as the nation’s top three riders prepare to carry the Philippine flag onto the global stage.
