Chassis / Suspension

• LIGHTWEIGHT DOUBLE CRADLE FRAME DESIGN: A lightweight, high-strength tubular steel frame provides a tuned rigidity balance for nimble, responsive handling with the strength and durability needed to tackle the harshest terrain with confidence. The chassis utilizes a short 62.6-inch wheelbase for agility and boasts 9.5 inches of ground clearance to tackle whatever the trail throws at you.
• BALANCED ERGONOMICS: The ability to shift body weight forward and rearward to suit the terrain is crucial in off-road riding situations, so the Ténéré 700 features a flatter rally-inspired seat, slim body and larger footpegs that allow maximum rider agility. The narrow body and fuel tank also enable the rider to grip the tank whether sitting or standing, and a clutch cover design offers improved leg room giving added confidence whether you're riding on dirt or asphalt.
• ADVENTURE-READY SUSPENSION: Serious dirt riding requires a capable suspension, so the Ténéré 700 utilizes a long-travel 43mm KYB® inverted fork with 8.3 inches of travel. The beefy inverted layout is highly resistant to flex to maintain precise steering and suspension action, and the fork is fully adjustable to match changing road and trail conditions, including preload adjustment. The revised linkage-type KYB® rear shock is similarly outfitted for adventure, with 7.9 inches of travel, and a remote preload adjuster to easily fine tune for changing loads or riding conditions.
• DIRT-READY BRAKING WITH SWITCHABLE ABS: The Ténéré 700 features a pair of wave-style 282mm front discs, with rear braking handled by a 245mm wave-style rotor, for powerful deceleration that isnt afraid of dirt and dust. The Ténéré 700 also offers three-mode selectable ABS allowing riders to choose their preferred level of braking intervention. MODE 1 is the ABS fully activated on both front and rear wheels; MODE 2 enables ABS on front wheel only and turns ABS off on rear wheel; and MODE 3 turns ABS off on both front and rear wheel. (NOTE: Always ride on paved roads with the ABS turned on.)
• DURABLE SPOKED WHEELS: Unlike many so-called adventure bikes which feature cast alloy wheels or road-biased tires, the Ténéré 700 flaunts its serious off-road intentions with tough spoked wheels mounting 21-inch front and 18-inch rear Pirelli® Scorpion® Rally STR tires, ideal for both on- and off-road riding.

Engine

• COMPACT, HIGH-TECH ENGINE: The Ténéré 700's renowned CP2 engine combines exceptional reliability and exciting power delivery in a compact, fuel-efficient package. With an overall size similar to some single-cylinder motors, the 689cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC inline twin gives the Ténéré 700 a slim feel for exceptional off-road confidence, while the counterbalanced two-cylinder design provides smooth, long-legged power ideal for long days in the saddle.
• CROSSPLANE CRANKSHAFT CONCEPT: The two-cylinder engine features Yamaha's Crossplane Crankshaft Concept 270-degree crank-”which traces its lineage directly to the Dakar-dominating XTZ750 race bikes-”to provide linear torque development in response to the rider's throttle input. The CP2 engine is also light, slim and compact, and offers an excellent level of rider/machine communication.
• OFFSET CYLINDER DESIGN: The CP2 engine shifts its cylinder bores slightly forward, towards the exhaust side. This offset reduces piston to cylinder wall friction, for enhanced reliability, more power and improved fuel economy.
• REFINED FUEL INJECTION: Electronic fuel injection settings have been calibrated to deliver a balance between rapid response-”perfect for technical riding off-road-”and smooth, linear delivery ideally matched for flowing progress when back on pavement. Boasting excellent fuel economy, robust acceleration, and precise controllability on- and off-road, the result is an extremely versatile powerplant.
• YAMAHA CHIP CONTROLLED THROTTLE: Yamaha's advanced Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) ride-by-wire system provides crisp, seamless throttle response and enables two selectable throttle maps (SPORT and EXPLORER), so riders can now dial in their preferred power delivery. There is also a selectable on/off Traction Control System to help maximize grip in low traction conditions.
• REDESIGNED AIR INTAKE: Redesigned air intake with a shorter intake duct supplies improved torque and power delivery power characteristics in the low- to mid-range.
• COMPACT STACKED TRANSMISSION: The six-speed transmission stacks the gearbox and the crankshaft in a triangular layout to keep the overall engine size shorter front-to-back, which optimizes engine placement in the frame for outstanding weight balance. The transmission ratios are designed to bring out the best of the low- to mid-speed torque and excellent response characteristics, letting the rider focus on the road or trail ahead.
• YAMAHA QUICKSHIFT CAPABILITY: The 2025 Ténéré 700 comes prewired for the installation of Yamaha's accessory Quickshifter.

New For 2025

• UPDATED RALLY-INSPIRED STYLING: The 2025 Ténéré 700's styling updates further accentuate its distinctive Dakar Rally racing DNA with a quad-LED headlight, side covers, tail section, color-matched handguards and a flatter rally-inspired seat.

• REVISED KYB® SUSPENSION: A revised 43mm KYB® adjustable front fork offers superb front-end feel and shock-absorbing characteristics, and now includes a preload adjuster located at the top of the fork tube. A redesigned linked-type monocross KYB® rear shock provides increased stroke and enhanced load absorption for more on- and off-road confidence.
• REDESIGNED AIR INTAKE: Redesigned air intake with a shorter intake duct supplies improved torque and power delivery power characteristics in the low- to mid-range.
