Yamaha’s adventure bike, the Yamaha Tenere 700 and the Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally Edition have been unveiled in Europe with updates, which include new technology. Since the bike was launched in 2019, the Tenere 700 has been quite popular, both in Europe, as well as in North America. Relatively lightweight, excellent value for money, superb off-road capability, and a punchy crossplane CP2 engine which has received rave reviews, make the Tenere 700 a popular choice, both for newbie adventurers as well as experienced adventure riders.
Now, Yamaha has again updated the Tenere 700, giving the bike some noteworthy additions, like new instrument console, with better technology and connectivity, as well as more sophisticated and customisable anti-lock braking system (ABS). The new 5-inch full-colour TFT console replaces the rather plain looking LCD display of the outgoing model. And the new console gets switchable screen themes, Explorer and Street, and also introduces smartphone connectivity, offering incoming call notifications, emails and text messages, and also allows access to the Yamaha My Ride app.
The engine remains the same, with the 689 cc, crossplane crankshaft parallel-twin unit making 71 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 66 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The DOHC, four-valve per cylinder parallel-twin is mounted on a double cradle steel-tube chassis, and the bike runs on wire-spoke wheels, with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel, with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.
