A six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) enables lean-sensitive Traction Control, Slide Control and Brake Control/ABS rider aids for enhanced on-road and off-road performance. Traction Control features three modes (STREET, OFF ROAD, and OFF), Slide Control features three modes (STREET, OFF ROAD, and OFF), ABS features three modes (ON, REAR OFF, and OFF), while Brake Control enables lean-sensitive cornering ABS.
Adjustable Steering Damper
Adjustable Steering Damper
An adjustable steering damper offers 16 different settings allowing riders to dial in their preferred level of adjustment. The steering damper reduces effects of impacts transmitted to the handlebar by ruts, holes or side winds for an enhanced feeling of comfort, confidence and front-end control. The damper also features a stamped TÉNÉRÉ logo for a premium look.
Advanced Crossplane Twin-Cylinder Engine
Advanced Crossplane Twin-Cylinder Engine
The TÉNÉRÉ 700 World Raid’s renowned CP2 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 689cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC inline twin gives the World Raid a slim feel for exceptional off-road confidence, while the counterbalanced two-cylinder design provides smooth, broad power ideal for long days in the saddle.
Lightweight Double Cradle Frame
Lightweight Double Cradle Frame
A lightweight, high-strength tubular steel frame provides a tuned rigidity balance for nimble, responsive handling with the strength and durability needed to tackle off-road terrain with confidence. The chassis utilizes a 62.8-inch wheelbase for stability and boasts 9.4 inches of ground clearance to tackle whatever the trail throws at you.
Large Vertical TFT Display
Large Vertical TFT Display
A large 6.3-inch vertical TFT screen offers a rich, full-color display along with three selectable themes providing a wide array of information.

2027 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Engine
- Compact CP2 Engine
- The Ténéré 700 World Raid is powered by the latest iteration of Yamaha’s legendary CP2 engine, now with even more linear and useable torque and precise control – suited to adventures both on- and offroad. The 690cc, two-cylinder engine has been updated to meet the latest EU5+ emissions regulations, and thanks to the redesigned air intake, it has been given an added boost of low-rpm torque.
- 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.
- Compact Stacked Transmission
- The six-speed transmission ‘stacks’ the gearbox and the crankshaft in a triangular layout to keep the overall engine size shorter front-to-back, which optimizes engine placement in the frame for outstanding weight balance. The transmission ratios are designed to bring out the best of the low- to mid-speed torque and excellent response characteristics, letting the rider focus on the road or trail ahead.
- Refined Fuel Injection
- Electronic fuel injection settings have been calibrated to deliver a balance between rapid response – perfect for technical riding off-road – and smooth, linear delivery ideally matched for flowing progress when back on pavement. Boasting excellent fuel economy, robust acceleration, and precise controllability on- and off-road, the result is an extremely versatile powerplant.
Chassis/Suspension
- 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.
- Large-capacity dual fuel tanks
- The dual fuel tank assembly consists of two side-mounted connected aluminium fuel tanks with a total capacity of 23 litres, and providing around 500 km of range. Having two separate tanks reduces the effect of fuel movement, improving handling and stability. The low position of the fuel pump in the left-side tank also contributes to centralised weight distribution.
- Fully adjustable premium 46mm KYB forks
- The KYB fully adjustable 46mm high-grade aluminium USD forks offer optimised rigidity, while the revised spring and damping specifications improve shock absorption and tire contact to the ground, increasing rider comfort and confidence. Additionally, the Kashima coating minimises friction and abrasion.
- High specification KYB rear suspension
- The fully adjustable linked-type KYB Monocross rear suspension with 220mm wheel travel has a shock stroke on 106mm and a specifically designed arm relay and connecting rod contributing to progressive suspension behaviour. The lightweight aluminium cylinder, pressurised oil chamber and the piggyback reservoir tank ensure the damper performs well under all conditions.
- New adjustable steering damper
- The 16-step adjustable steering damper provides a wide range of feel and feedback with the option to dial up damping for more support in offroad riding. The impact of riding in ruts, bouncing over potholes or experiencing strong side winds is transmitted to the handlebars more gently, resulting in better rider comfort and confidence, and reduced fatigue on long adventure trips.
Additional Features
- Six-axis IMU for perfect control
- The Ténéré 700 World Raid is equipped with a six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that constantly monitors the bike’s movements, and knows whether you are increasing or decreasing your speed, leaning, turning or sliding. With this data, the IMU can adjust the engine output, maintain traction and modulate ABS behaviour to help you stay in control. This functionality enables you to gain confidence quickly and to get the most out of the machine with control and comfort.
- Lean-sensitive Traction Control, Slide Control and ABS/Brake Control
- The Traction Control System (TCS) and Slide Control System (SCS) both feature three modes – STREET, OFF ROAD and OFF – to give you the option to select the level of system support, and to achieve optimum levels of traction and slide whether riding on- or offroad.
For ABS, there is a dedicated button to select between modes. When ABS is switched ON, Brake Control can be enabled to provide cornering ABS, while the offroad focused REAR OFF and OFF modes allow either the rear or both wheels to lock for full offroad control.
- The Traction Control System (TCS) and Slide Control System (SCS) both feature three modes – STREET, OFF ROAD and OFF – to give you the option to select the level of system support, and to achieve optimum levels of traction and slide whether riding on- or offroad.
- 3-inch full-colour TFT display with Raid theme, connectivity and navigation
- The 6.3-inch full-colour TFT display is vertically positioned for best visibility whether sitting or standing. The display features three themes – STREET, EXPLORER and RAID – each designed for different riding styles and environments.
- You can also connect your phone through the free MyRide app, bringing Google-powered turn-by-turn navigation, calls, messages, emails, music and more on the TFT screen.
- Cruise Control and Speed Limiter
- Even better equipped to handle long journeys, add comfort to highway cruising, and make sticking to speed limits effortless, the latest Ténéré 700 World Raid is now equipped with both Cruise Control and Speed Limiter.
