Leading smart devices provider, HONOR, has unveiled its partnership with Studio Harcourt Paris credited to the contribution of AI Portrait Engine to the HONOR 200 Series. The prestigious Studio Harcourt is known for its Black and White Portraits, seen on actors such as Karl Lagerfeld and Cate Blanchett.

“We’re taking portraits to a new level with the HONOR 200 Series! We’re confident that the upcoming AI Portrait Master will wow fans, and we’re even surprised to have successfully sealed the partnership with the reputable Harcourt Studio Paris. Now we’re bringing it to the Philippines! We can’t wait to offer another premium mid-range smartphone in the market,” said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines.

The Studio Harcourt in Paris is conceived by Cosette Harcourt, an exceptional and modern woman who boldly lent her name to the studio, and the Lacroix brothers in 1934.

The aesthetic of the Harcourt photographic portrait draws its heritage from the glamour of the golden age of black-and-white French cinema, a style of which the HONOR 200 drew inspiration from for its classic and timeless appeal that redefines phone portraiture.

Road Tripping with The All-New Winner X: Four Awesome Long Ride Ideas

Find out how The All-New Winner X is the perfect motorcycle for long trips.

Now that you have acquired The All-New Winner X, you are probably thinking of breaking your new ride by taking it on a road trip or a long ride. After all, long rides aren’t just great for breaking in your new motorcycle, it also allows you to explore new places, gain new experiences in a way that’s relaxing and open.

This hot weather offers ideal conditions for a long—and potentially cooling—ride. But what are the best destinations for such a ride, particularly if you're from Metro Manila? Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the No.1 motorcycle manufacturer in the country, has come up with some suggestions for the best destinations for a memorable long ride.

Tagaytay

Tagaytay is one of the most iconic destinations for a long ride, and for good reason. It offers a host of unforgettable attractions, including cool weather, delicious local cuisine like bulalo, historic sites such as Taal Volcano, and even an amusement park in the form of Sky Ranch. Best of all, travel time to Tagaytay can be as short as 1 hour and 16 minutes from Manila, meaning you won’t need a lot of fuel to reach this destination.

In relation to this, The All-New Winner X features a fuel economy rating of 52.3 km/L (based on the World Motorcycle Test Cycle or WMTC), ensuring a convenient and economical long ride when you choose Tagaytay as your destination.

Batangas

If the beach is your thing, then Batangas is the perfect destination for a long ride. Batangas is home to a number of beach resorts like those in Anilao, Lian, and Matabungkay. Additionally, the price ranges for these resorts are quite varied, ensuring you can find one to fit your budget. And just like Tagaytay, Batangas is only about 3 hours away from the Metro. This means The All-New Winner X’s PGM-Fi fuel systerm will make your long ride exceptionally fuel-efficient.

Bataan

Not all great long ride destinations can be found south of Metro Manila. In fact, one of the most awesome destinations can be found due north in Bataan. From Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar to the beaches and coves in Mariveles, and the historic Dambana ng Kagitingan, there is certainly a lot to see in Bataan. Travel time to Bataan is slightly longer than the previous destinations, at over 3 hours. Fortunately, The All-New Winner-X offers a comfortable and ergonomic riding position with a 795mm seat height to minimize fatigue during your long ride.

Marilaque Highway

If you are the type of rider who just enjoys the ride itself, then Marilaque highway is the perfect destination for you. Officially starting at Marcos Highway in Marikina, it stretches for about 117.5 km, offering generally smooth roads and stunning scenery. Additionally, you can find several eateries along the road with awesome views, perfect for a quick meal and a selfie with Mother Nature as your backdrop.

More significantly, the Marilaque highway is perhaps the destination where you can truly experience what The All-New Winner X has to offer in terms of riding performance, specifically,

with its 149cc, 4-Stroke, 4-Valve, DOHC, Liquid-Cooled Engine. This engine delivers 11.5kW max power @ 9,000rpm and 13.5Nm max torque @ 7,000rpm.

This engine setup works brilliantly with advanced features like Assist and Slipper Clutch, and Bank Angle Sensor, as well as Front and Rear Hydraulic Disc Brakes. The result is smooth acceleration and power delivery that doesn’t compromise handling control.

The All-New Winner X: Perfect for the Open Road.

Of course, performance, riding comfort, and fuel efficiency aren’t the only reasons that make The All-New Winner X perfect for the open road. For one thing, this bike comes in Standard, ABS Premium, as well as ABS Racing variants. This mean, you get a number of eye-catching color options: Pearl Iceberg White, Infinity Red for the Standard, Matte Galaxy, Black Metallic, Matte Meteoric Red Metallic with Gold 3D Emblem for the ABS Premium, and Infinity Red with a 3D Emblem along with the gold cast wheel color for the ABS Racing variant. This ensures you’re able to choose a bike that suits your style. More importantly, this factor gives you the option for even greater braking control when you choose any of the ABS variants.

The bike is also equipped with all-LED lighting and Fully Digital Meter Panel. This means you get superior nighttime visibility of both the road and data from your motorcycle, respectively.

Meanwhile, the built-in USB charger ensures your smartphone is always powered for any emergency calls you might need to make. And when you have to park your ride for a pit stop, The All-New Winner X’s exclusive Smart Key System offers excellent security.

Overall, with its combination of powerful performance, outstanding handling, fuel efficiency, and comfort, characterized by its aggressive, razor-sharp design styling, The All-New Winner X is well-suited for long trips outside of Metro Manila, offering riders a reliable and enjoyable riding experience on the open road.

The All-New Winner X Standard variant is available with a suggested retail price of Php123,900.00. Meanwhile, The All-New Winner X ABS Premium can be yours for Php129,900 and ABS Racing variant is at Php131,900.00, respectively.
