At dahil sikat na sikat ang Rusi saan mang sulok ng Pilipinas, naglista kami ng Top 7 Rusi motorcycles.
Rusi Flash 150X
"Top Searched" Rusi motorcycle
First on the list is the Rusi Flash 150X. Featured in our Top 8 Budget Motorcycle blog, the Rusi Flash 150X is a standout. Rusi aimed to compete with the Sniper 155 and Winner X while offering a budget-friendly price. For only ₱75,000, you get a 150cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine. It is very fuel-efficient with a consumption of 56km/L. This explains why all Rusi Flash 150X owners are satisfied with their unit — it is considered powerful on the road. Flash owners must be proud as it is the "Top Searched" Rusi motorcycle.
Macho 175
A workhorse that is perfect for your tricycle's sidecar
If you are looking for a workhorse, the Macho 175 is perfect for your tricycle's sidecar. With an engine displacement of 175cc and an SRP of ₱48,500, it is a great investment for supporting your family. Although it is a powerful unit, it consumes more fuel. To save on fuel, try using an Ionized Fuel Filter (IFF). Without IFF, the fuel consumption is 35-37km/L, but with IFF, it reaches 50-53km/L, saving around 15km/L. Comparing the Macho 175 with its competitor, the Kawasaki Barako II, priced at ₱91,000 with the same displacement, you will see which one offers better value for your money. Here’s their detailed comparison.
Rusi Flair 125
Rugged appearance and an affordable price, is EURO 3 certified
The Rusi Flair 125 is a great option for daily service. Among the many 125cc motorcycles in its category, it competes with the Honda Beat and Honda Click. It has a rugged appearance and an affordable price, is EURO 3 certified, and includes a choke for cold starts and a kill switch for quick engine shutdown. Like other Rusi brands, you can save more on fuel by replacing the needle (consult a mechanic if you don’t know how to do this).
Rusi Royal 125
A great value for its appearance and as being EURO 3 certified
Another popular choice among riders is the Rusi Royal 125. This model competes with the Yamaha Mio Soul. It is more affordable with an SRP of ₱46,000. If you are planning to buy a Mio Soul but are short on budget, you can opt for this motorcycle. It is a great value for its appearance and special features such as being EURO 3 certified, having an LED headlight, and including a choke and kill switch.
Rusi Passion SC125
A lightweight and fuel-efficient daily motorcycle
If you are looking for a lightweight and fuel-efficient daily motorcycle, the Rusi Passion SC 125 is perfect for you. This is another Honda Beat competitor with all-LED lights at a very affordable price of ₱50,000 SRP. With this special feature, it is slightly more expensive than the Rusi Royal 125.
Rusi Macho 125
Most beginner-friendly motorcycle, perfect for custom builds
The Rusi Macho 125 is another 125cc Rusi brand, but it is the cheapest and most beginner-friendly motorcycle, perfect for custom builds. This is the Chinese copy of the TMX 125 but more affordable. Its general design allows it to be offered at the most economical price — ₱42,500 SRP. It is good value for money, easy to maintain, and spare parts are readily available in case of repair. Overall, if you are looking for a brand new, beginner-friendly 125cc Rusi bike for only ₱40,000, and customizable at the same time, consider this motorcycle.
Rusi Rush 125
The most stylish among the Rusi 125cc lineup, with an added RUSH emblem
Lastly, we have the affordable competitor of the Honda Click — the Rusi Rush 125! It is the most stylish among the Rusi 125cc lineup, with an added RUSH emblem. The ₱49,000 SRP is worth it for the split-LED headlight, LED park light, and analog meter. It also has a wider board, making it preferred by delivery riders. Here’s a detailed comparison.
Overall, with its affordability, many Filipinos in Ilocos, Bicol, and the Visayas region prefer Rusi over other brands. This list is based on the top-searched Rusi motorcycle brands. Though this list is non-comprehensive, we hope it helps in deciding which Rusi unit to buy (or whether to buy its competitor unit).
