Revised 43 mm KYB front forks
For improved convenience and easier ground access, the Ténéré 700 Explore is equipped with 43 mm KYB front forks offering 190 mm wheel travel, 20 mm less than the Ténéré 700. The revised spring rates give a stable and comfortable ride when touring with luggage – and the reduction in suspension travel achieves a lower seat height.
Remotely adjustable rear shock absorber.
The bike is equipped with a specially developed KYB shock absorber with an increased spring rate that delivers excellent comfort and controllability even when you’re fully loaded. Giving 180 mm travel – 20 mm less than the Ténéré 700 – the remotely adjustable shock gives a lower seat height for easy ground access.
Lower seat height
For easier mounting and dismounting, the latest Ténéré 700 Explore is equipped with a lower seat height of 860 mm – 15 mm less than the Ténéré 700. This offers various advantages, including easier ground access for added low speed controllability when riding in tricky off-road situations or in congested traffic.
Increased wind protection
When you’re riding long distances you’ll appreciate the added wind protection provided by the factory-fitted larger screen. Higher and wider than the standard design, it gives a 50% increase in surface area to ensure improved touring comfort.
Dedicated quickshifter
The unique specification of the Ténéré 700 Explore is focused on delivering added comfort and convenience. The new quickshifter features settings that have been developed specifically for the 690cc CP2 engine. Now you can enjoy seamless upshifts for smoother and more effective acceleration.
Choice of side cases
The Ténéré 700 Explore features side case stays as original equipment, and when you purchase your new bike you can choose to fit* Genuine Yamaha aluminium side cases available in black or silver – or you can go for the Explorer soft bags. *At additional cost.
5-inch dual-theme TFT meter with smartphone connectivity
The 5-inch colour TFT display offers you two different screen themes – a modern dynamic design as well as a more traditional look reminiscent of the analogue era. The bike’s CCU communicates with the MyRide app so that text messages and incoming call alerts are displayed on the screen, keeping you connected at all times.
690cc 4-stroke CP2 engine
Yamaha’s 690cc CP2 engine is designed to deliver the most sensational and satisfying riding experience on any terrain. Producing strong linear torque, this 270° crank powerplant will pull hard all the way from low rpm, making the Ténéré 700 Explore an outstanding performer in the widest range of conditions.
3-mode switchable ABS
3-mode ABS gives you the option to decide exactly how you want your bike to behave on different surfaces. Mode 1 is full on, with ABS working on both wheels – a legal requirement on public roads. Mode 2 is front wheel on, rear wheel off, giving added confidence on loose gravel tracks. Mode 3 is fully off, giving you ultimate controllability when riding in the dirt.
Ergonomic 16-litre fuel tank
Featuring a slim rear section that gives a relaxed knee grip and a natural seating position, the fuel tank contributes towards the easy ergonomics that make this the ultimate all-round adventure bike. Thanks to the CP2 engine’s high fuel efficiency, the 16-litre fuel tank gives you plenty of range between refills so there’s no range anxiety when you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Full LED lighting and USB outlet
The aggressive 4 LED headlight cowl is inspired by the desert race bikes that can trace their DNA back to Yamaha’s Dakar winning machines. The full LED lighting features compact front and rear flashers and a lightweight taillight for high visibility with excellent reliability and low weight.
Lightweight spoke wheels
Just like Yamaha’s factory rally-raid race bikes, the Ténéré 700 Explore is equipped with a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel that combine low weight with immense strength and excellent shock resistance. And for high levels of traction and durability on the dirt and street, these gold anodised aluminium spoked wheels are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Rally tyres.
