The ink is dry, the engines are warm, and the partnership is official. We are thrilled to announce that JADO S6 has officially partnered with Edrie Ocampo as his exclusive on-board navigation and recording partner for the 2026 season.

This isn't just about putting a logo on a jersey. It's about equipping one of the country's most resilient adventure teams with the technology they need to conquer the unforgiving terrain of Mindanao. Immediately following the press conference and signing ceremony, Team 2 Leader Edrie Ocampo didn't waste a single moment. With the formalities out of the way, there was only one thing left to do: Ride.

The Alliance is Sealed

The atmosphere at the launch event was electric. Edrie Ocampo and JADO S6 came together to formalize a personal partnership built on a shared passion for exploration and durability. Edrie has always pushed the limits of man and machine, and the upcoming FjMoto Mountaincross Rally in Mindanao promises to be his toughest challenge yet.

For a rally of this magnitude, reliable navigation and footage capture aren't luxuries — they are necessities. The team needed a system that could handle mud, rain, vibration, and the unpredictability of the Philippine trails. That's where the JADO S6 comes in.

"We need gear that just works," Edrie said at the event. "The S6 keeps us on track and records everything. Simple as that."

From the Stage to the Saddle

Talk is cheap, and specs on paper don't mean much until they survive the trail. Immediately after the event concluded, Edrie rallied the troops. The destination? Laiban Trails. It was time for the final gear test and bike check.

The objective was clear: shake down the bikes, sync the team, and put the new JADO S6 units through a torture test before shipping out to Mindanao. This was the moment of truth for the S6's integration with the team's fleet.

Under Edrie's leadership, the team unloaded the bikes and began the installation process. Within half an hour, every S6 unit was mounted and ready to go — no head-scratching, no extra tools, no wasted time.

The Verdict: S6 Universal Quick Release is a Game Changer

One of the biggest concerns for any multi-bike team is compatibility. The team rides a variety of setups, and swapping gear between bikes can be a logistical nightmare. However, the feedback from the Laiban test ride was unanimous: The S6 Universal Quick Release system is flawless.

"Snapped it on, and it just stayed there. No shaking, no problems. Navigation was clear, camera was rolling. It works."

— Edrie Ocampo, Team Leader

Field Report: Universal Mount

- Zero Tool Hassle: The team had all units mounted across the entire fleet in under half an hour — no pit crew required.

- Vibration Proof: Despite the rocky river crossings of Laiban, the screens stayed steady.

- Secure Fit: The quick-release mechanism locked in with a satisfying click, giving riders confidence on technical descents.

- Versatility: It fit perfectly across different handlebar diameters on the team's fleet.

Edrie specifically noted how the "Click and Go" nature of the mount allowed the team to remove the units quickly during breaks or bike swaps, streamlining their workflow significantly. For a rally environment where every second counts, this efficiency is gold.

Building Chemistry on the Trail

Beyond the hardware, the ride at Laiban was about forging the bond between riders. A team is only as fast as its slowest member, and communication is key. With the S6 units running CarPlay and Android Auto, the team could easily sync their routes and maintain visual contact with the trail ahead.

The dual-channel dashcams on the S6 captured the team's dynamics in high definition — recording the laughter at rest stops, the assist on muddy hill climbs, and the synchronized riding formation. Watching the playback later, it was clear: The team is a family, and they are locked in.

The synergy between the riders and their new tech was seamless. No one was fumbling with phones or getting lost. The S6 disappeared into the background, allowing the riders to focus purely on the ride.

Next Stop: Mindanao

With the test ride complete and the gear validated, the team is officially in "Race Mode." The FjMoto Mountaincross Rally awaits from March 26–29. It will be a test of endurance, skill, and spirit.

Thanks to the successful shakedown at Laiban, the team heads south with full confidence. Their bikes are dialed, their team spirit is high, and with JADO S6 guiding the way, they are ready to document every mile of glory.

Stay tuned as we bring you exclusive footage and updates from the rally. The adventure is just beginning.
