The Yamaha Ténéré 700 has earned its place as one of the most versatile middleweight adventure motorcycles. Powered by a 689cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine, it produces around 73 PS of power and 68 Nm of torque, striking a balance between highway performance and off-road capability. Its 6-speed gearbox with chain drive ensures smooth power delivery across different terrains.
Built for adventure, the Ténéré 700 comes with a 43 mm inverted front fork offering 210 mm of travel and a monoshock at the rear with 200 mm of travel, providing excellent suspension performance on rough trails. With a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheel setup, paired with dual-sport tyres, the bike is perfectly suited for off-road exploration. Braking duties are handled by dual 282 mm front discs and a 245 mm rear disc, giving riders confidence in varied conditions.
Weighing around 204 kg (wet) and featuring a tall 875 mm seat height, the Ténéré 700 is designed for serious adventure riders. Its impressive 240 mm ground clearance ensures it can handle rocky paths and uneven trails with ease. A 16-liter fuel tank offers a decent riding range, making it practical for long journeys.
For 2025, Yamaha has refined the Ténéré 700 with improved suspension adjustability, better low-speed handling, and updated ergonomics for rider comfort. The motorcycle maintains its reputation for reliability and ruggedness while delivering modern adventure features without excessive electronic complexity.
In India, the Ténéré 700 is expected to launch in October 2025 with an estimated ex-showroom price of Rs.13–14 lakh. With its balance of performance, durability, and off-road focus, it is set to attract enthusiasts looking for a capable middleweight adventure bike.
