Expressway-Legal Motorcycles Philippines 2026: 400cc and Up

A motorcycle may use a Philippine expressway when its registered engine is 400cc or more. The Toll Regulatory Board matrix defines class 1 as “Car, Jeepney, Van, Pick-Up, Motorcycle (400cc and up)”, so a qualifying bike pays the car toll.

Our catalogue lists 113 models at 400cc and up from 16 brands, every one below. 6 more are sold as 400-class but registered under 400cc.

400cc: allowed on the expressway.

It is a class 1 vehicle: it pays the car toll and needs the RFID of each road you use.

Sold as 400-class, registered under 400cc

These carry a 400 or 401 badge but list less than 400cc. The class 1 wording is “400cc and up”, so on that reading they are below the line.

Questions riders ask

What motorcycles are allowed on Philippine expressways?

Motorcycles with a registered engine of 400cc or more. The TRB toll matrix defines class 1 as "Car, Jeepney, Van, Pick-Up, Motorcycle (400cc and up)", and operators turn smaller motorcycles back at the plaza. The full rule, with fines, is on our motorcycle expressway rules page.

How many cc is allowed on the expressway?

400cc and up. The figure that counts is the displacement on your Certificate of Registration, not the number in the model name. A 399cc motorcycle is below the line.

Is a Honda ADV 350, Yamaha XMAX or NMAX allowed on the expressway?

Only if its registered displacement is 400cc or more. Check the displacement printed on your OR/CR and type it into the checker at the top of this page. The scooters in our catalogue that qualify are listed in the Maxi Scooter row of the type table.

Is the Yamaha TMAX allowed on the expressway?

Yes. The Yamaha TMAX in our catalogue is 560cc, above the 400cc class 1 line, so it pays the class 1 toll like a car.

What toll class are motorcycles on Philippine expressways?

Class 1, the same as cars, SUVs and pickups, so a motorcycle pays the car toll. On the TRB matrix as of 1 February 2026: NLEX, Balintawak to Dau ₱411; Skyway Stage 3, Buendia to Balintawak ₱264; SLEX, Magallanes to Calamba ₱244. The toll calculator prices any other entry and exit.

Which RFID does a motorcycle need?

The one the road reads. Easytrip works on NLEX, SCTEX, NLEX Connector, CALAX and CAVITEX. Autosweep works on SLEX, Skyway, Skyway Stage 3, STAR, NAIAX, MCX and TPLEX. A Baguio ride uses both. Find a site on our RFID installation map.

What helmet do I need on the expressway?

A standard protective helmet with the PS mark or ICC sticker, for the rider and the back rider, under RA 10054. Riding without one is ₱1,500 for a first offence, ₱3,000 for a second and ₱5,000 for a third; see LTO fines.

What is the cheapest big bike for the expressway?

By starting price in our catalogue: CFMOTO 400NK (400cc, ₱219,800), CFMOTO 400 GT (400cc, ₱267,000), CFMOTO 650 NK (650cc, ₱295,000), Benelli TRK 502 (500cc, ₱299,000). Prices are dealer SRPs as listed in our catalogue; the brand page has the variants.

What is the Expressway Score?

Our 0 to 100 rating of how a motorcycle suits expressway riding. It weighs highway fuel economy (25%), wind protection and comfort by type (20%), ABS, traction control and riding modes (20%), power to weight (15%), range (10%) and cruise control (10%). It is computed from each bike's specs; no one pays for it.
