The Ténéré 700 is powered by Yamaha's award-winning 689cc CP2 engine, tuned and geared specifically for this model. Equipped with the YCC-T electronic throttle, the 2025 Ténéré 700 introduces a suite of features to adapt the riding experience for all conditions including two ride modes, Sport and Explorer, giving you the possibility to choose the best power and torque characteristics to meet your riding needs. ABS and TCS can also be turned off to give you total control, which is particularly useful on unpaved surfaces. No other adventure bike delivers such a holistic balance of power and control; a rally-bred machine designed to take on whatever is thrown at it.
Ténéré 700's latest tough steel chassis is robust, enhanced and designed to offer a controlled and engaging ride in a wide variety of environments. Adjustable tall suspension and large spoked wheels contribute to high ground clearance and a commanding riding position, which comes to the fore on and off road, whether you choose a standing or seating position. The striking lightweight bodywork has been designed to protect you from the worst of the elements, while a comprehensive 6.3" TFT dashboard provides all the vital information you need at a glance.
KEY FEATURES
Advanced Crossplane Twin-Cylinder 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, broad power ideal for long days in the saddle.
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 dial in their preferred power delivery. There is also a selectable on/off Traction Control System to help maximize grip in low traction conditions.
Lightweight Double Cradle Frame
A lightweight, high-strength tubular steel frame provides a tuned rigidity balance for nimble, responsive handling with the strength and durability needed to tackle off-road terrain with confidence. The chassis utilizes a 62.8-inch wheelbase for stability and boasts 9.4 inches of ground clearance to tackle whatever the trail throws at you.
Adventure-Ready Suspension
The Ténéré 700 's highly capable 43mm KYB® inverted fork is fully adjustable to match changing road and trail conditions, and offers a substantial 8.3 inches of travel for tackling challenging off-road. The beefy inverted layout resists flex to maintain precise steering and suspension action. The 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.
Large Vertical TFT Display
A large 6.3-inch vertical TFT screen offers a rich, full-color display along with two selectable themes providing a wide array of vehicle and smartphone information. A STREET theme offers a traditional analog-style tachometer, while an EXPLORER theme offers a more modern digital style.
Advanced Smartphone Connectivity
The Ténéré 700 includes smartphone connectivity allowing riders to access music, make and receive phone calls (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided), turn-by-turn navigation, and a range of additional features offered through Yamaha 's free Y-Connect app. Connectivity functions are operated by intuitive switchgear on the left handlebar and displayed in full color on the TFT display.
Adventure-Focused Ergonomics
For added confidence on both dirt and asphalt, the Ténéré 700 's distinctive Dakar Rally racing DNA features a narrow body and side covers, slim fuel tank, and flat rally-inspired seat enabling the rider to confidently grip the tank whether sitting or standing. The fairing and color-matched handguards work with tapered handlebars and a tall windscreen to ensure comfort on the longest rides.
