Unleashing the Sound of Power

This exceptional machine delivers a best-in-class performance that is both thrilling and dynamic.
Conquer Long Distances with Confidence
Continuing the legacy of Yamaha’s winning Dakar bikes, the Ténéré 700 World Rally is equipped with race-developed 23-liter fuel tanks. These tanks not only provide excellent fuel autonomy for long-distance rides but also feature a design that optimizes mass centralization for superior handling.
With the fuel carried as low as possible, the bike offers agile maneuverability, allowing riders to conquer any challenge that comes their way.
Exceptional Suspension and Handling
The Ténéré 700 World Rally is equipped with high-specification 43mm KYB front forks with 230mm travel, designed to excel in off-road conditions. These black-colored front forks are fully adjustable, allowing riders to fine-tune their suspension settings for various loads, terrains, and speeds.
In addition, the rear suspension features an aluminum piggyback shock with a piggyback reservoir, providing consistent damping performance and 220mm of rear wheel travel.
Finally, the Öhlins adjustable steering damper, with its 18 different settings, further enhances stability and control, ensuring riders can tackle even the most challenging terrains with confidence.
Comfort and Connectivity
The bike features a rally-inspired 2-piece seat that not only provides comfort but also allows for the fitment of a rack or luggage by removing the rear section.
Its flat profile enables easy rider mobility and effortless weight shifting, while the dual black-grey material construction ensures a firm yet comfortable ride.
Additionally, riders can choose between three switchable screen styles on the connected 5-inch color TFT display – digital, analog, or roadbook style.
With smartphone connectivity through the MyRide app, riders can even view text messages and incoming call notifications on the screen, enhancing convenience and connectivity.
