CARMONA, Cavite – Suzuki Philippines launched the 5th-generation Raider R150 series yesterday, November 11, 2025, at the Carmona Racing Circuit, marking a major upgrade for the iconic underbone kingpin. The lineup introduces the Raider R150 Blade Edition and the premium Raider PRO, both powered by a refined 147cc liquid-cooled engine delivering class-leading output. Over 2.5 million Raiders sold globally since 2004, this evolution amps up aerodynamics, safety, and tech while retaining track-bred DNA.
The Blade Edition targets speed demons with aggressive styling and a new slipper clutch for seamless shifts. The PRO steps up with ABS, keyless ignition, smartphone-linked digital dash, and a brighter LED headlight, driven by rider feedback for urban and highway dominance. Both models feature a lighter twin-spar frame inspired by GSX-R racers, wider exhaust for better torque, and a switch to DC power for stable electronics.
