New Yamaha TENERE 700 WORLD RAID model details, with links to new and used dealer listings and latest Yamaha deals

Ténéré 700 World Raid

The Ténéré 700 World Raid makes every road and trail not just accessible, but truly exhilarating to ride. The World Raid's perfect blend of rider comfort, long-distance ability and useful technology invite you to take the long way to your destination, exploring the world with full freedom to roam.

ADVENTURE HAS NO LIMITS

Want to take the road less travelled? The World Raid's suspension updates and lightweight frame ensure great feel and precise control on every road, working in unison with the six-axis IMU and electronic aids for power delivery, traction, slide and braking to unleash its full dirt potential when you explore beyond the roads.

The Ténéré 700 World Raid has always been built to take on the longest journeys. The latest model further extends your range with added rider comfort and premium upgrades to ensure that you get the most out of the large dual tanks. The only thing missing is an excuse to not go the distance!

Large-capacity dual fuel tanks

The new fuel tank assembly consists of two side-mounted connected aluminium fuel tanks that are 1.5 kg lighter than the previous model, while retaining the total capacity of 23 litres and providing around 500 km of range. Having two separate tanks reduces the effect of fuel movement, improving handling and stability. The low position of the fuel pump in the left-side tank also contributes to centralised weight distribution. Note: Range and fuel efficiency depend on riding style.

Six-axis IMU for perfect control

The Ténéré 700 World Raid is equipped with a six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that constantly monitors the bike’s movements, and knows whether you are increasing or decreasing your speed, leaning, turning or sliding. With this data, the IMU can adjust the engine output, maintain traction and modulate ABS behaviour to help you stay in control. This functionality enables you to gain confidence quickly and to get the most out of the machine with control and comfort.

Lean-sensitive Traction Control, Slide Control and ABS/Brake Control

The Traction Control System (TCS) and Slide Control System (SCS) both feature three modes – STREET, OFF ROAD and OFF – to give you the option to select the level of system support and to achieve optimum levels of traction and slide whether riding on- or offroad. For ABS, there is a dedicated button to select between modes. When ABS is switched ON, Brake Control can be enabled to provide cornering ABS, while the offroad focused REAR OFF and OFF modes allow either the rear or both wheels to lock for full offroad control.

Fully adjustable premium 46mm KYB forks

The new KYB fully adjustable 46mm high-grade aluminium USD forks offer optimised rigidity, while the revised spring and damping specifications improve shock absorption and tyre contact to the ground, increasing rider comfort and confidence.

High specification KYB rear suspension

The fully adjustable linked-type KYB Monocross rear suspension with 220mm wheel travel has been upgraded with increased shock stroke (+5mm to 106mm) and a specifically designed arm relay and connecting rod contributing to more progressive suspension. The lightweight aluminium cylinder, pressurised oil chamber and the piggyback reservoir tank ensure the damper performs well under all conditions.

YCC-T electronic throttle and power modes

The latest Ténéré 700 World Raid adopts the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) and two power modes: ‘Sport’ mode for dynamic power delivery on spirited road rides, and ‘Explorer’ for smoother throttle reaction, when you venture offroad or negotiate wet surfaces.

Cruise Control and Speed Limiter

Even better equipped to handle long journeys, add comfort to highway cruising and make sticking to speed limits effortless, the latest Ténéré 700 World Raid is now equipped with both Cruise Control and Speed Limiter.

Enhanced long-distance rider comfort and protection

The new one-piece flat seat and tank shapes create excellent ergonomics and freedom of movement. Keeping the ride comfortable, the new windscreen and side deflectors provide excellent weather protection, while the large footpegs with removable rubber inserts ensure high levels of control and grip on- or offroad.

New adjustable steering damper

The new 16-step adjustable steering damper provides a wide range of feel and feedback with the option to dial up damping for more support in offroad riding. The impact of riding in ruts, bouncing over potholes or experiencing strong side winds is transmitted to the handlebars more gently, resulting in better rider comfort and confidence, and reduced fatigue on long adventure trips.

Redesigned body and headlight unit

The Ténéré 700 World Raid's styling has been updated with a more refined, solid and quality-focused look, while maintaining the unmistakable overall Ténéré design character. Completing the iconic Ténéré image, the revised four-beam rectangular LED headlight unit offers excellent illumination and gives the bike a fresh, mature and contemporary look.

6.3-inch full-colour TFT display with Raid theme, connectivity and navigation

The new 6.3-inch full-colour TFT display is vertically positioned for best visibility whether sitting or standing. The display features three themes – STREET, EXPLORER and RAID – each designed for different riding styles and environments. You can also connect your phone through the free MyRide app, bringing Google-powered turn-by-turn navigation, calls, messages, emails, music and more on the TFT screen.

Latest EU5+ 690cc CP2 engine

The Ténéré 700 World Raid is powered by the latest iteration of Yamaha's legendary CP2 engine, now with even more linear and useable torque and precise control – suited to adventures both on- and offroad. The 690cc, two-cylinder engine has been updated to meet the latest EU5+ emissions regulations, and thanks to the redesigned air intake, it has been given an added boost of low-rpm torque.
