Go the distance: The 2026 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid
POSTED: 21/10/2025
The Ténéré 700 World Raid loves to go the distance, and for 2026 it is set to go even further. The World Raid returns with new premium components, cutting-edge technology and a more refined look that take adventure lovers on to reach new heights.
POWER AND CONTROL
The renowned 690cc CP2 twin engine improves the on- and off-road experience with an even more linear and useable torque and precise control. To make the best use of this engine’s power, the Ténéré 700 World Raid uses the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) with two power modes. Moreover, the Ténéré 700 World Raid is now equipped with a 6-axis IMU to ensure control through lean-sensitive Traction Control (TCS), Slide Control (SCS) and ABS/Brake Control, all offering different modes and give riders the option to select the level of system support they want for a tailored performance.
BUILT TO GO FURTHER
The two side-mounted connected aluminium fuel tanks are now lighter and provide around 500km of range, reducing fuel movement and improving handling and stability. On top of that, the World Raid now comes with Cruise Control and Speed Limiter to make the ride even more comfortable. Finally, the new windscreen, removable side deflectors, large footpegs and LED headlight assembly help make the adventures more enjoyable.
NEW PREMIUM KYB SUSPENSION
The 2026 Ténéré 700 World Raid provides ultimate control and comfort on any terrain thanks to the new fully adjustable KYB suspension package. The forks now feature larger 46mm diameter inner tubes, up from 43mm, but the total weight of the front fork assembly remains the same as before. The fully adjustable linked-type KYB Monocross rear suspension has been upgraded too. It now provides improved performance in demanding offroad conditions thanks to the increased shock stroke, and a specifically designed arm relay and connecting rod contribute to more progressive suspension.
