2025 Yamaha Tenere 700 Base

2025 Yamaha Tenere 700

Now 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.

Features may include:

• Compact CP2 Engine

Developed from the MT-07 naked sportbike, the Ténéré 700 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 689 cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC inline twin gives the Ténéré 700 exceptional handing, while the counterbalanced two-cylinder design provides smooth, long-legged power ideal for long days in the saddle.

• Crossplane Crankshaft Concept

The two-cylinder engine features Yamaha's Crossplane Crankshaft Concept 270-degree crank - which traces its lineage directly to the Dakar-dominating XTZ750 race bikes - to provide linear torque development in response to the rider's throttle input. The CP2 engine is also light, slim and compact, and offers an excellent level of rider/machine communication.

• Offset Cylinder Design

The CP2 engine shifts its cylinder bores slightly forward, towards the exhaust side. This offset reduces piston-to-cylinder-wall friction for enhanced reliability, more power and improved fuel economy.

• Lightweight Double Cradle Frame Design

A lightweight, high-strength tubular steel frame provides a tuned rigidity balance for nimble, responsive handling with the strength and durability needed to tackle the harshest terrain with confidence. The chassis utilizes a short 1,595 mm (62.6 in.) wheelbase for agility and boasts 240 mm (9.5 in.) of ground clearance to tackle whatever the trail throws at you.

• Balanced Ergonomics

The ability to shift body weight forward and rearward to suit the terrain is crucial in off-road riding situations, so the Ténéré 700 features a flat seat and slim body that allows maximum rider agility. The narrow body and fuel tank also enable the rider to grip the tank whether sitting or standing, giving added confidence whether you're riding on dirt or asphalt.

• Adventure-Ready Suspension

Aggressive dirt riding requires capable suspension, so the Ténéré 700 utilizes a long-travel 43 mm inverted fork with 210 mm (8.3 in.) of travel. The beefy inverted layout is highly resistant to flex to maintain precise steering and suspension action, and the fork is fully adjustable to match changing road and trail conditions. The linkage-type rear shock is similarly outfitted for adventure, with 200 mm (7.9 in.) of travel, and a remote preload adjuster to easily fine tune for changing loads or riding conditions.
