2026 Yamaha Ténéré 700

A lightweight, no compromise adventure bike with thrilling performance and outstanding reliability, the Yamaha Ténéré 700 opens up a world of possibilities.

Features may include:

• 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 '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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
