YAMAHA TENERE 700 2026 AND TENERE 700 WORLD RAID 2026

UNCOMPROMISING ADVENTURE STARTS AT SM SPORT

For over 50 years, SM Sport, a powersports dealership in the Capitale-Nationale, has supported motorcycle enthusiasts, adventurers, and freedom seekers on two wheels. Our mission is simple: provide the best products, expert advice, and experience-driven expertise.

In 2026, Yamaha makes a bold statement with two models that redefine the mid-size adventure segment: the 2026 Yamaha Tenere 700 and the all-new 2026 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid.

Whether you’re a weekend adventurer, a globetrotter, or a long-distance off-road rider, these motorcycles embody the Tenere DNA: durability, reliability, and proven performance. In this article, we present key differences, technical updates, and essential pre-order information — all directly from SM Sport.

A LEGEND THAT KEEPS EVOLVING: THE TENERE HERITAGE

The Yamaha Tenere range is directly inspired by the world’s most demanding rallies. For decades, it has represented a clear vision: build a motorcycle capable of going further, longer, and in any conditions.

The standard Tenere 700 has already won riders’ hearts with its ultra-reliable CP2 engine, manageable weight, and incredible versatility. In 2026, Yamaha takes this philosophy even further with the arrival of the Tenere 700 World Raid, designed for adventurers who refuse limits.

YAMAHA TENERE 700 WORLD RAID 2026

A NEW BENCHMARK IN ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLES

The 2026 Tenere 700 World Raid is a completely new model in Yamaha’s lineup. It targets riders seeking extended range, premium suspension, and superior control on both asphalt and the most demanding off-road terrain.

🎨AVAILABLE COLORS – WORLD RAID 2026

Every visual detail reflects its exclusive character: unique logos, World Raid badges, and distinctive finishes.

KEY DIFFERENCES: TENERE 700 WORLD RAID VS STANDARD TENERE 700

LARGE DUAL TANKS – ADVENTURE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The Tenere 700 World Raid features two connected aluminum side tanks, offering a total capacity of 23 liters.

+7 liters compared to the standard Tenere 700
Approximate range: 500 km
+150 km extra range vs. the standard Tenere

WHY TWO SEPARATE TANKS?

Reduces fuel movement for better stability
Lower weight distribution improves handling
Optimized center of gravity for off-road riding

HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?

The fuel pump is located in the left tank
An equalization valve automatically balances fuel
Even if you fill only the left tank, the system redistributes fuel at startup

Result: perfect balance and enhanced control, no matter the distance.

KYB PREMIUM FRONT FORKS

46 mm aluminum USD forks of high quality
Fully adjustable
Optimized stiffness
