Corsa Mt. Pinatubo Adventure: Conquering the Trails of The Majestic Mountain

The adventure kicked off at PITRAP HQ in Capas, Tarlac, where riders and guides met early in the morning. A quick breakfast set the mood for the day before the organizers laid out the trail expectations and safety protocols. The group consisted of various riders, including those from CB150X, ADV JuanSiksty, and individual trail enthusiasts equipped with adventure bikes like Bestr3s and even scooters.

Adding excitement to the ride, Corsa’s esteemed brand ambassadors, Breezy and JetGaspar, joined the journey, motivating the participants as they set off on the 52-kilometer back-and-forth adventure.

The challenging lahar-filled terrain of Mt. Pinatubo tested both the riders and their machines. The trail featured a mix of rocky paths, deep lahar sections, river crossings, and rough roads, making it a true test of endurance. Fortunately, with their motorcycles equipped with Corsa Motorcycle Tires Cross S, the riders found better grip and stability, making the dangerous paths a bit more manageable.

The Corsa Motorcycle Tires Cross S is engineered for superior performance on both paved roads and rugged terrain. Featuring an advanced semi-block tread pattern, it provides exceptional grip and stability, making it ideal for adventure and dual-sport riders. Its reinforced sidewalls enhance durability and impact resistance, while the high-silica compound ensures optimal traction in wet and dry conditions. The Cross S also incorporates optimized tread spacing for efficient mud and water dispersion, delivering consistent control and handling in diverse riding environments.

Throughout the route, several stops allowed riders to catch their breath, hydrate, and appreciate the raw beauty of Mt. Pinatubo’s terrain. However, the real challenge began when they reached the trekking area—an entirely new battle awaited them.

From the foot of the volcano, riders embarked on a 6-kilometer assault trek to reach the crater. The trek was no less demanding than the ride itself, featuring multiple river crossings, steep ascents, and rocky paths. Just as their bikes faced the elements, the riders too had to cross through shallow rivers and push themselves to their limits on foot.

After nearly three hours of hiking, the effort was rewarded with a breathtaking view—the majestic caldera of Mt. Pinatubo. The sight of the sleeping, emerald-green crater lake provided a much-needed moment of accomplishment. Riders took time to rest, capture memories, and enjoy in their triumph before making their way back to their motorcycles.

With the same grit and determination, the riders braved the return journey, tackling the same trails, river crossings, and lahar-filled roads before reaching PITRAP HQ once again. A well-deserved dinner awaited them, marking the end of an exciting and fulfilling adventure.

The Corsa Mt. Pinatubo Adventure was not just another ride—it was a test of endurance, skill, and camaraderie. With Corsa Motorcycle Tires proving their reliability on extreme terrains, the event showed the true spirit of adventure riding.

As the riders gear up and wrapped up their journey, one question lingered in their minds—where to next?
