Rooted in the brand’s legacy of challenging convention, LIVE TO DEFY is a powerful reminder of what sets Yamaha apart—purposeful movement driven by passion, individuality, and the courage to stand out. It reaffirms Yamaha’s commitment to inspiring generations of riders to break limits, ride free, and carve their own paths.

The momentum reached new heights with the reveal of Yamaha’s latest innovation, the new LEXI, introduced through a powerful film featuring rising boxing talent Eman Bacosa Pacquiao. Anchored on the campaign You’re Up Next, the new Yamaha LEXI symbolizes progress earned through discipline, ambition, and consistency. The night closed with celebration and energy, uniting on-ground guests and online viewers in Yamaha’s unmistakable pulse—proving that LIVE TO DEFY is more than a movement; it is a rallying call to break free and ride boldly into what’s next.
