Yamaha has given the popular Ténéré 700 and Ténéré 700 Rally Edition for model year 2023 a minor update. Both models have a 5″ TFT color display with Bluetooth connectivity, in addition the ABS has been refined.
Where KTM first with the 790 Adventure and then the 890 Adventure has the Allroad with the very best off-road genes that has outclassed the Ténéré 700 from day 1 in all areas, it is the Ténéré 700 that has been the top seller since its launch. been. Put both prices side by side and you will understand why people have gone for the Ténéré.
According to Yamaha, no fewer than 40,000 units have been sold across Europe since its launch, with which Yamaha has succeeded in restoring the legendary name Ténéré with the little one Ténéré, something that its larger – now out of production taken – brother the Super Ténéré has failed miserably.
For 2023, following the MT-07, Yamaha has equipped the Ténéré 700 as well as the Ténéré 700 Rally Edition with a new 5″ TFT color display, which gives you the choice of two screen themes. In the “Explorer” screen mode, the emphasis on the rev counter, where the “Street” display has a more conventional look with round analog-style dials.
Naturally, the TFT display features Bluetooth connectivity, which allows you to link the bike to the Yamaha MyRide app on your smartphone. Once connected, you will receive all notifications of incoming calls, emails and text messages in the display. The most important parameters of the bike can also be tracked via the app.
If set up for this purpose, the system can also warn the motorcyclist of any technical problem detected on the Ténéré. It can also send an email notification to a motorcycle dealer or other contact designated by the rider.
The MyRide app also offers many other useful functions, including monitoring all important parameters of the motorcycle, tracking the route traveled and recording distance travelled, acceleration, top speed, elevation gain and much more. Data can be shared on social media, then compared and discussed with other Yamaha Adventure riders on some of the many dedicated internet forums and social media groups.
In addition to the 5″ TFT color display, Yamaha has also improved the ABS modes. Previously you only had the choice between on and off, the new ABS gives you the choice of 3 positions: full on, rear wheel only off and completely off. Sound familiar to you: Yamaha had already applied this with the World Raid model.
Finally, the Ténéré 700 and Ténéré 700 Rally Edition for 2023 are also prepared for a quickshifter, which can be optionally mounted as an original accessory. In addition, both bikes have a new brake lever that should be more resistant to standing out, LED turn signals and a USB connection. The latter to replace the previous 12V connection.
For 2023, the Ténéré 700 will receive updated graphics and new colors: Icon Blue and Tech Kamo. The Ténéré 700 Rally Edition remains available in Heritage White. Price and delivery time are not yet known.
