Revving in Style: Aldwin Baclayon’s Streetbike Thai Concept Yamaha NMAX from San Fernando Cebu

 By: Arnel B. Santos-Ynigo

For this month we are featuring a Streetbike Thai Concept Yamaha NMAX which was one of the standout Scoots we encountered from the San Fernando Motor Show. The bike is owned by Aldwin Baclayon a Call Center Agent based in San Fernando, Cebu. He adapted the "Streetbike" Concept which is basically the amalgamation of two concepts Vans and Drag. You can enjoy the best features of both concepts. It features lightened parts, premium Thailand performance parts for the brake system, suspension and engine. You can enjoy the aggressive performance of a Drag bike but still remain suitable for daily driving. 

 

A Statement on Two Wheels

Aldwin Baclayon’s custom Yamaha NMAX is more than just a scooter—it’s a statement of power, style, and precision. Whether you're admiring its pink carbon fiber body or experiencing the thrill of its performance upgrades, this scooter exemplifies the perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality. Baclayon, with the help of 3Fs Shop, CWOC, and Kasag Bogo, has created a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that stands out on the streets and is sure to inspire future custom builds across Cebu.

If you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this NMAX roaring through the streets of San Fernando, you'll know you're witnessing a scooter that’s not just built to perform—but built to impress.

A Vision in Pink Carbon Fiber

The first thing you'll notice is the full pink carbon fiber body, a masterpiece meticulously crafted by Kasag Bogo. This eye-catching, high-gloss finish doesn’t just enhance the NMAX's appearance—it also adds strength without compromising weight. The pink hue, paired with honeycomb carbon fiber body panels, gives the scooter a unique contrast, creating a visual flow that blends beauty and aggression.

Performance-Driven Powerhouse

Baclayon's NMAX isn’t just for show. Underneath that carbon fiber shell, the scooter is equipped with a high-performance engine, complemented by the Daeng Sai4 Racing Exhaust Pipe. This racing exhaust system is known for boosting the NMAX’s torque and power, ensuring an exhilarating ride whether you're cruising or hitting top speeds.

Fuel management is enhanced with an Aeromotive Fuel Regulator, allowing for precise fuel flow to keep the engine humming smoothly. Handling the scooter is made easier with a custom Mufac handlebar and quick throttle from Domino, providing an effortless, responsive ride.

Drag-Ready Rims and Tires

For drag racing enthusiasts, the NMAX’s Super Drag high-performance rims, wrapped in IRC Drag Tires, promise unbeatable traction and stability. This setup guarantees maximum grip, ensuring the scooter can handle the power it’s packing.

Cooling and Handling Mastery

The NMAX is equipped with a DS4 radiator, complete with Samco fluid lines, ensuring that the engine stays cool even during intense performance sessions. Custom-machined, lightweight parts further reduce the bike’s overall weight, improving acceleration and handling.

The rear suspension is handled by Chaiyo performance shocks, giving the bike a responsive yet cushioned feel . The front suspension has been upgraded with lightened stock shocks, keeping the front end nimble without sacrificing stability.

Braking Precision

When it comes to slowing down, the custom brake system on Baclayon’s NMAX is nothing short of impressive. Featuring a 10A Copy Mark Marquez brake master cylinder, TRD brake lines, and Brembo calipers, this scooter can stop on a dime. Brembo brake levers provide a solid, responsive feel, allowing the rider to modulate braking pressure with precision.

Attention to Detail

No detail was overlooked in this build. The scooter boasts genuine Heng bolts and nuts, ensuring durability and strength in every part. Custom “Ayuda” Thai plates and JRP racing saddles provide both style and comfort, while the domino handgrips add to the ergonomic design. Every element has been designed with both performance and aesthetics in mind.

Collaborative Creation

This build would not have been possible without the collaboration of some of Cebu’s best in the customization game. 3Fs Shop and CWOC worked closely with Baclayon to ensure that every component—whether mechanical or aesthetic—fit together flawlessly. From the carbon fiber body panels to the high-performance internals, every piece of this NMAX is a reflection of Baclayon’s passion for scooters and his eye for detail.
