Reuben Cabrera

Reuben Cabrera has been riding since his late teens and has spent years exploring everything on two wheels from daily commutes to top speed straight line runs to long adventures. He has a soft spot for classic bikes like his Keeway CR152 and Yamaha XJR 400, but he also rides modern bikes like the CFMoto 450NK. His content is all about sharing the street rider’s perspective: whether it’s chasing the perfect line through twisties, testing gear in Philippine heat, or just surviving a monsoon without wiping out. Reuben’s goal is to give fellow riders insight into the best gear for their riding, given he’s always on two wheels! You can follow more of Reuben’s motorcycle stories and reviews on TikTok @reubencabrera.
