Growing Motorcycle Community gathers at the Shell Bike Fair 2017

Motorcycle riders in the Philippines continue to grow in number every year. According to the Industry Government Online, Metro Manila has 860,517 registered bikers, making it the largest motorcycle community in the country. The two-wheeled vehicle has become a common and essential mode of transportation for Filipinos.

To thank bikers for their unceasing support and to emphasize its commitment to the growing motorcycle community, the global fuel giant geared up for its annual Shell Bike Fair 2017 with a series of exciting events across the country. Made possible by Shell Advance Motorcycle Oils and the newly launched Shell V-Power fuels, the aim is to delight drivers, enthusiasts, and bike club members alike. The two brands are any bikers’ reliable companion on the road: Shell Advance allows for a smoother ride by protecting the engine from wear and maintaining clean pistons, while the new and improved Shell V-Power is designed¹ to deliver both performance and efficiency. These offerings are born out of Shell’s groundbreaking technology in developing smarter products and concept lubricants, which are designed to give motorists convenience and efficiency while on the road.
