JAKARTA - Two-wheeled vehicles are often chosen by many young people today and used as a mobility companion. But now it's not just mobility from one point to another, but also invited to go for a while to find a new atmosphere.

Rifki Maulana, Manager of Public Relations, YRA, & Community, PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Mfg, said the company saw that the needs of young people today are not only stylish vehicles or what the children of today call kalcer, but also those who can follow their dynamic lifestyles.

"It is answered by the Grand Filano Hybrid scooter which presents a balance between design, performance, and efficiency, so that it can be used for daily mobility to thin exploration such as out of town while staying comfortable and confident," he said, in an official statement received, Monday, March 30.

The motorcycle has proven its ability through the journey of the Classy Fun Day event, which also serves as a proving ground for how this kalcer scooter can support the mobility of dynamic young people, ranging from the crowded urban roads to extreme trails in the Garut area mountains.

The journey starts from Bandung with the typical urban traffic conditions of the long weekend which is very crowded so it tends to stop & go. Entering the cross-city lane to Garut, the driving rhythm changed to creeping with a fairly high vehicle intensity.

The challenge began to feel when crossing the Cijapati route, where long climbs and turns became the 'main menu' before finally heading to the Kamojang Crater area which is at an altitude of around 1,700 meters above sea level with more extreme road characteristics, full of steep climbs and sharp turns.

Interestingly, in all these conditions, the Grand Filano Hybrid still feels good thanks to the 125cc Blue Core Hybrid engine which makes the acceleration more powerful so that it is enough to beat the uphill without drama, and is also supported by its light handling so that it is still comfortable to control.

Apart from the issue of power, fuel efficiency is also a highlight that is no less interesting because with a total mileage of approximately 150 kilometers for 2 days and various road conditions, the fuel consumption of these two scooters is considered economical.

As is known, the Yamaha Grand Filano Hybrid comes with a timeless and elegant design, but is still modern because it has various advanced features such as using the 125 cc Blue Core Hybrid technology which is economical and powerful, TFT Sub Display on the speedometer and the lights are Full LED and Smart Key System.
