The Ténéré 700 Extreme features high specification long-travel KYB front forks giving 230 mm of wheel travel (20 mm more than the Ténéré 700) that can handle the toughest off-road terrain.

A durable Kashima coating on the tubes ensures smooth suspension action – and with full adjustability for preload and compression/rebound damping, this tough off roader can be set up to perfectly match your riding style on any terrain.

Ténéré 700 Extreme is equipped with a long stroke KYB rear shock that gives 220 mm of rear wheel travel – 20 mm more than the Ténéré 700.

The race developed fully adjustable Monocross rear suspension is fitted with a newly developed linkage that gives more progressive suspension action for improved handling performance in extreme off-road terrain.

The 5-inch TFT meter offers three screen styles to suit different situations. “Explorer” features a dynamic digital style, while “Street” gives an analogue-type speedometer format.

The “Raid” theme features a roadbook inspired design with a focus on trip distances. With Yamaha’s free MyRide app you can stay connected and see text and call notifications on the screen.

When you’re riding off road you need to be able to shift weight easily for optimum controllability. With its flatter profile and extra 20 mm of padding, the Ténéré 700 Extreme’s one-piece seat provides added comfort together with improved mobility on the highway and in the dirt.

The Ténéré 700 Extreme comes equipped with a high level front fender designed to handle the most extreme off-road conditions. Its lightweight design helps to protect you from surface debris, while a secondary low level half-fender helps deflect dirt and spray away from the bike

For increased levels of grip in muddy or wet conditions, the Ténéré 700 Extreme’s special equipment includes lightweight titanium footrests. 200g lighter and with a 35% larger surface area than the standard design, these competition-style footrests reduce pressure on your boot soles – especially when you’re standing up – giving enhanced controllability thanks to the larger contact area.

3-mode ABS gives you the option to decide exactly how you want your bike to behave on different surfaces. Mode 1 is full on, with ABS working on both wheels – a legal requirement on public roads. Mode 2 is front wheel on, rear wheel off, giving added confidence on loose gravel tracks. Mode 3 is fully off, giving you ultimate controllability when riding in the dirt.

The aggressive 4 LED headlight cowl is inspired by the rally-raid race bikes that can trace their DNA back to Yamaha’s Dakar winning racers. The full LED lighting features compact front and rear flashers and a lightweight taillight for high visibility with excellent reliability and low weight.
