2021 Yamaha Tenere 700

CONQUER ROAD

The all-new Yamaha Ténéré 700 is a lightweight, no-compromise dual sport motorcycle with one of the highest specifications in its class. Equipped with Yamaha’s popular 689 cc CP2 inline-twin engine, a completely new chassis and adventure-focused features, the Ténéré 700 is designed to deliver class-leading handling and agility in the dirt and high-speed, long-distance performance on the road – making it an extremely capable and versatile adventure bike.

ADVENTURE-FRIENDLY CP2 ENGINE

Yamaha’s 689 cc CP2 inline twin-cylinder engine produces strong and linear torque that gives instant throttle response and outstanding acceleration – attributes that make the Ténéré 700 a capable and versatile performer on and off the road. Producing maximum torque at 6,500 rpm, this engine offers the ideal balance of performance and controllability with excellent fuel economy.

RALLY-BRED FEATURES

Echoing the focused, purposeful design of rally-built “works” racing machines, the Ténéré 700 features a unique two-plus-two stacked LED headlight, protective windscreen and handguards, long-travel suspension and rally-style instruments. The cockpit is also designed to accommodate additional navigation devices, such as a GPS or rally road book.

ADVENTURE-READY SUSPENSION

Aggressive dirt riding requires capable suspension, so the Ténéré 700 utilizes a long-travel 43 mm inverted fork with 210 mm (8.3 in.) of travel. The beefy, inverted layout is highly flex-resistant to maintain precise steering and suspension action, and the fork is fully adjustable to match changing road and trail conditions. The fully adjustable, linkage-type rear shock is similarly outfitted for adventure, with 200 mm (7.9 in.) of travel, and a remote preload adjuster to easily fine tune for changing loads or riding conditions.

VERSATILITY

The Ténéré 700 flaunts its serious off-road intentions with 240 mm (9.5 in.) of ground clearance, tough 21/18-inch spoked wheels, switchable ABS, a flat seat, tapered handlebar and relaxed riding position whether sitting or standing. Asphalt riding showcases the Ténéré 700’s nimble, responsive handling, balanced ergonomics and smooth, linear power delivery from the CP2 inline twin-cylinder engine.
