Ride the Legend

When the first Dakar Rally took place back in 1979 it gave the Yamaha XT a chance to prove itself in the world’s toughest race. XT riders won this legendary event in ’79 and ’80, and inspired the development of the original Ténéré in 1983 – Yamaha’s iconic adventure bike that changed the world of motorcycling.

40 years on, the Yamaha Ténéré 700 is capturing the imagination of a new generation of riders who want to discover what’s over the next horizon. For 2023 the exclusive Yamaha Ténéré 700 Rally Edition comes with heritage rally colours, 3-mode switchable ABS and a refreshed TFT meter with smartphone connectivity.

Featuring white and red racing livery, speedblock graphics and gold rims, the Ténéré 700 Rally Edition pays tribute to the factory bikes raced in Dakar. With its premium components and pure Ténéré DNA, this is Yamaha’s ultimate heritage adventure bike.

Featuring a modern translation of the legendary and striking white and red combination that was used for early Ténéré models racing the Dakar. Based on these early Dakar colours the very first production XT600 Ténéré of 1983 also proudly featured this colour combination: White-red contrast, gold rims and speedblock design (also inspired by Dakar heritage). Details in finishing such as the black handlebars complement the overall design.

The dedicated one-piece Rally seat offers a slightly higher and straighter riding position for easier body movement and more comfort for those long expeditions. At 895 mm, the Rally seat is 20mm higher than the standard seat. Dual material finish and white printed YAMAHA logo give enhanced Rally image.

Sporty and lightweight slip-on muffler by Akrapovič combines performance with rally looks and a beautiful throaty-rich sound, without being loud. Fully street legal, includes carbon heat shield and silencer clamp and non-removable Db killer.

The 5’’ colour TFT display offers you two different screen themes - a modern dynamic design and 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. The mobile connectivity also allows you to monitor all key parameters of the motorcycle through the app.

The 3-mode switchable ABS allows you to adapt the bike depending on the road surface and riding style. Mode 1 is fully on, with ABS working on both wheels – a legal requirement on public roads. Mode 2 is front wheel on, real wheel off, providing added confidence on loose gravel tracks. Mode 3 is fully off, giving you ultimate controllability when adventuring off road.

Ténéré 700 Rally Edition is equipped with carefully selected aluminium accessories that protect your bike during challenging off road riding. The heavy duty 4mm thick skid plate offers extra protection for the engine and frame. A convenient toolbox can be optionally added using the mounting points on this skid plate. Compact, lightweight and finished with a special coating for durability, the radiator cover protects against small stones and twigs. For complete protection, the bike also comes with a stylish laser cut chain guard.

Keeping true to Yamaha’s Dakar heritage, the iconic 4-LED headlight is deeply rooted in the Ténéré DNA, giving your bike a genuine rallybred aggressive look. Together with the compact flashers at the front and rear, the powerful LED lighting of the Ténéré 700 Rally Edition will light your way through any adventure.

To further improve off road ability, the bike is fitted with rubber profiled grip pads for maximum knee grip during stand-up riding. In addition, the off road hand grips give better grip and control in dusty and muddy conditions.
