2025 Yamaha Tenere 700 Debuts with Engine and Styling Upgrades at EICMA 2024

The 2025 edition of the Yamaha Tenere 700 has made its global debut, with an updated appearance, an improved engine, and new amenities. In terms of design, the quad-LED headlight remains unchanged, but the lenses are now rectangular and inspired by Yamaha rally bikes. Moreover, the fuel tank is now positioned lower and more forward, giving the rider greater flexibility to move around. Yamaha has equipped the bike with a one-piece seat. To improve the appearance, it has also added new hand guards and turn signals. For now, the Japanese automaker has not released the Tenere 700's price. However, bookings in Europe are likely to begin early next year. Read on for more details.

2025 Yamaha Tenere 700: What's more?

The all-new Tenere is available in three different versions on the global market: Low, Standard, and Rally. The low variant's suspension travel is 190mm, which is less than the 210mm of the standard model. Additionally, the seat height and ground clearance are reduced to 860mm and 225mm, respectively, compared to the standard model (240mm and 875mm). The bike's double-cradle frame is still the same, but there are minor changes in the silencer bracket and luggage mounts. Moreover, there is a little increase in the width of the footpegs. In response to customer input, the side stand has also been moved.

The bike now has a new monoshock with a progressive linkage and fully adjustable 43mm USD forks. Its wheels and brakes remain the same, though. In terms of features, the all-new Yamaha machine is equipped with a 6.3-inch vertical TFT screen, switchable ABS, and a type C charging port.

For those looking for off-road experiences, the bike comes in a Rally variant. This model features a stunning vintage blue colour scheme, a seat height of 910mm, and a fully adjustable KYB USD fork with 230 mm of travel (front). The ADV has a 4mm aluminum sump guard and an enormous 255mm of ground clearance.

With an improved 698cc parallel-twin motor, the bike now gets a ride-by-wire throttle and two riding modes: Sport and Explorer. The air intake duct is shortened in order to enhance the torque curve overall. The bike's six-speed gearbox includes new internals and a reworked clutch cover.
