Yamaha Tenere 700: 5 Important Things You Can’t Miss

The Yamaha Tenere 700 is speculated to launch in India by 2025. Here are the top 5 things you cannot miss in this ADV

The Yamaha Tenere 700 has made a big name for itself in the adventure bike world. It is known for its rugged design, capable engine, and exceptional off-road performance, it’s a bike built for serious adventurers. The fairytale-like dream of seeing this on Yamaha’s showroom floor in India is closer to reality. Here are five key things about the Tenere 700 that you can't miss:

Designed Like A True Adventurer

The Yamaha Tenere 700 has a rugged and functional design that looks ready to take on tough terrains and long rides. Its tall, upright stance makes a commanding presence on and off the road. The bike’s slim body profile allows the rider to move around freely, making the bike easier to handle on tight trails. The headlight setup and rally-style front-end frame give the bike an aggressive, purposeful look that screams adventure. Our heart rate is already rising thinking about taking this on some trails and chucking some dirt up.

Simple Engine That Does The Job

At the heart of the Tenere 700 is a 689cc parallel-twin engine that produces 73,4PS at 9,000rpm and 68Nm at 6,500rpm. Its engine is known for its smooth and linear power delivery. It’s the same engine found in the Yamaha MT-07, but this one is differently tuned for adventure riding. The engine has a torquey nature and pulls the bike through steep hills and tackles tough terrains with ease.

Plush Suspension Setup

The Tenere 700 gets a premium suspension setup to handle various terrains while performing well on the highway. It has a long-travel 43mm upside-down front fork and a fully adjustable monoshock to ensure that the bike can absorb bumps, rocks, and uneven surfaces with ease. This suspension setup ensures a smooth ride whether you're off-roading or just dealing with potholes on the road. 

Impressive Ground Clearance

To handle all that adventure we’ve been talking about, a bike needs to have a good amount of ground clearance. The Tenere 700 has a ground clearance of 240mm. The high clearance allows the bike to glide over obstacles such as rocks, and uneven trails without scraping or damaging the underside of the bike. This is a must-have feature considering it an adventure bike designed to do all sorts of things without bottoming out.

‘Celebrity’ Of The Adventure Bike World

The Yamaha Tenere 700 has a rich history and has earned its celebrity-like place in the adventure bike world. The bike is known for its capable and reliable nature. Its performance off-road makes it one of the top choices for riders looking for a ‘do-it-all’ bike. Overall, the bike is engineered to be comfortable on or off-road.

In conclusion, this ADV bike from Yamaha is an all-rounder in the adventure bike segment. Its rugged design, dependable engine, superior suspension, high ground clearance, and well-established name make it a bike you can't ignore if you're an adventure bike enthusiast. We believe the ADV will be priced somewhere between Rs 14-15 lakh (ex-showroom). The high price tag is a result of the bike being imported to India from Yamaha's factory in Indonesia which is impacted by heavy taxes.
