New TENERE WORLD RAID Ultimate Test

We went to Spain to test the brand new Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid after conquering the victory at the Tunisia Desert Challenge with the Proto bike. Having taken part in the development I wanted to give you a deep insight together with Pol Tarres to what are the main differences with the Standard Tenere 700 and help you understand who is the ideal user of the Tenere and Tenere World Raid. I explain all the differences and upgrades that have been made on this new Adventure Bike. A new horizon for Rally Raid enthusiasts is opening up with this new bike.

i could imagine how comfortable it is to ride this bike. it is stable. could reach long distances without having to worry about fuel availability. thank you Manuel for sharing the experience.

[@Gwiedert]

It's too bad they didn't fix the exhaust mount...

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Many wished for it, personally I never had issues on my standard T7

[@Gwiedert]

@@ManuelLucchese1 I had to bent it back away from the swingarm for a number of times...

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@Gwiedert buy a set of Acerbis swingarm plastic protectors and make some sort of a spacer to fit the swingarm (between the swingarm and exhaust). Otherwise go for a rally high exhaust and be done with it.

Mind boggling isn't it 😢

[@ronhamelin]

great review! I'm almost ready to get the last 2023 Raid here in southern portugal at a discount! I'm wondering if you have experience with the Tenere World RALLY bike that's come out. I see very little about it. Seems cool but the Raid gets a lot more exposure.

[@steveoliver177]

Fantastic video. Great to hear from someone directly involved in its development, but who can also articulate the needs of lesser mortals /riders than Rallye experts like yourself.

Thanks a lot Steve!! Happy you liked the video, I hope to bring this summer a video on the proto race bike to show what main modifications we made to make it race ready

I was wondering the same thing, please let me know if you find out.

[@ivan-ywr]

Perfect video Manuel. This model is pure love. It' s so close to Dakar bike design even more than Tenere Rally version. Btw what is true on news that Yamaha is withrdrawing from Dakar 2023?

Thanks!!!

[@craigfinnegan8534]

It seems Yamaha is now caught in a Catch-22 by not bringing the World Raid edition here to the USA. Their reason is that the regular Tenere 700 isn't selling well enough - but now it's because guys like me are waiting for the World Raid.

[@larryvaughn7243]

I want one too, but I was told limits out of where they are built keeps WR out of US.

[@kjonasson10]

A worthy replacement of a ktm 990s with 265mm suspension? I ride fast flowy gravel roads quite a bit with enduro front tire and desert rear.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

I think the only way to understand it is to test the bike and to do it for at least 300km to be able to adapt the riding. Its always hard to leave something we have been used to be riding for so long but I believe if you try the WR you will really enjoy the riding

[@kjonasson10]

@@ManuelLucchese1 Thx, for the response 💪

It should be a bit lighter than the 990. I'd also love to have the 295mm Boano 48mm forks to test it with.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Thanks a lot Darren!! I wish you a speedy recovery and that you get back healthy. I own also a KTM 890R, I am lucky to be working for several manufacturers on development of accessories and I can say each bike has its own character just like us adventure riders so its always important to find the bike that suits your needs and wills best

[@tHaH4x0r]

You talk about replacing the tank/seat of the original T7 with the WR version, but I am actually curious about the display (and I suppose switch gear). Is it possible to swap the two?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Everything is possible but you would need to get the whole wiring harness of the WR together with the display and handlebar commands.

[@spalvainais11]

What about default rider mass estimates, usual T7 was configured for rider about 75kg weight, lots of users went for aftermarket springs. I am 110kg and would likt to have some luggage too:), should i look for suspension modifications for this model too?

[@C_R_O_M________]

Of course! That's actually a silly question as all bikes have the average human in mind. I'm 120kg, 2.06m btw.

[@markg7834]

Another professional, amazing video! I wonder if/when this new version of the Tenere will come to the USA.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Thanks a lot Mark! For now I have no info on USA availability, I think that some will order theirs in Europe and have it shipped to the US. I have no clue how then they can get it homologated in the US

[@chrisbouris3699]

If I want to build a RebelX TENERE, like the one you ran in Sardinia, what is the best base for someone to start? The simple one, or the World Raid. Also the Racing bike has a 48 fork. It will be aveliable for the World Raid bike?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

I would start for the World Raid for the twin tanks with lower center of gravity and yes a front 48mm fork/triple clamp kit will be available hopefully before end of the year

[@sergia6513]

Best video of the WR yet. I have a normal T7 with closed cartridges and also the Tractive rear shock. I'm wondering if I should sell my bike and get a WR. Main problem is my height, 170cm. I barely reach the ground on the standard T7 and I travel off-road in tracks like the TET with arround 25kg of luggage on the rear. I find myself having to pass through hard sections with technique and inertia without the possibility of paddling with the legs, cause I would fall down do to not reaching with both legs. It is exhausting.

[@DB-me3jt]

Same here… I’m 1.72 and wonder if I could touch the ground.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Thanks so much!!! Personally I believe that riding wise you would feel better agility on the technical section because the weight is better distributed. Height wise more or less its the same as the tanks shape and seat shape lets you move much more on the bike

[@toyagami005]

So the world raid technically speaking seems to be almost on par with KTM 690 / Husqvarna 701 Enduro (LR). Having done special projects on both platforms which brought you more smiles per gallon off-road?

[@MrLdvo]

Would you guys race enduro with the Rally Raid version? (Filling half tank only) I'm considering to buy it for my enduro trails and long trips. Maybe for some enduro races, I'm no Pol Tarres but im willing to train hard. It looks way too wide for sliding it sideways on a hill climb if I break traction. I like the Idea of not being top heavy anymore.

[@SergeyVikultsev]

Do you feel that this bike can be a tourer?

[@andrewsoldan6050]

Somehow i don't buy this, longer suspension travel and steering stabilizer on Raid version were needed to support heavier tank. Still prefer lighter, slimmer standard version for heavy off-road. World Raid is for long distance touring with some gravel road not for racing or enduro. BTW looking what Pol Tarres could do with standard version proves to me I'm right.

[@khakimzhanmiras]

Pol Tarres is a professional riding around a handicap. More suspension travel and a stabiliser will vastly improve handling for most riders.

[@andrewsoldan6050]

@@khakimzhanmiras nope, longer suspension will be eaten by heavier bike.

[@khakimzhanmiras]

@@andrewsoldan6050 what do you mean? Sag should be set up to manufacturer requirements based on suspension travel. The springs in the wr will be heavier to accommodate the additional weight. It’s not an insanely heavy bike, it’s still much lighter than a 990, the benchmark for adventure bikes.

[@keesverhagen9227]

Helluh' Mr. Yamaha speaking, I am currently owning a KTM 1190 R. Once a year at my vacation i take my bike along with some positive thinking and start for a big ride. Coming from the Netherlands i always have to go through Germany. Heading to Sweden/Norway or somewhere to the Balkan. Once i get there i am trying to do a lot offroad. Doing this for almost 30 years. Once in the 4 or 5 years i also am doing a larger trip. Sometimes i am wishing that Germany would not exist.🙈 Not because back in the days my father had a bit of a quarral with them but of the distance you have to ride for passing it. Free time you have to do labour for. So i need a bike that can handle those Autobahn highway as speedy as possible. And also as comfortable as possible. Never have owned cruisecontroll on any of my bikes but it really is on my wishlist. Once the T7 came out i did a demoride as quick as possible. Not long. Maybe for a hour or so. Like new shoes you sometimes you can't be sure about the fitting and how they will grow on you. It is a small bike compaired to the T7. The whole bike did feel so completely different. But this is going to expected for sure. Besides that it was that you could almost feel that the bike was incredible reliable. Maintaining large engines on ships gives you somewhat of a "fingerspitzengefühl" when feeling the engine. And also the vibe and sound that this T7 engine is humming out is incredible. I think with certainty that this engine is one of the most reliable engines ever made for a motorcycle. Apart from the BMW K75. The downside that the T7 had for me was that it is incredible topheavy. And knowing that this becomes even more higher with 40 kg of luggage i decided not to buy the T7. Also a few other minor things like the springs. Back and front. But i knew that in time this was fixable. But to be honest i was so dissapointed with this. It made me almost cry. Cause i instantly knew that this motorcycle is really really reliable. Compairing it with a 1190 R is not really a honest thing to do. But the main reason why i wanted to go to a bike that is more easier to controll while not on the tarmac was not completely satisfied. It would not give me that big advantage. Riding all day offroad is very exhausting. And the bike you are using for this is besides your phisical strenght the biggest factor in this. So i let this T7 pass and simply waited. I am lucky because only at a distance of approximately 35 km'ters there is a very good Yamaha dealer called Gebben Motoren. Bought 3 brandnew bikes at that place. And one of them was the Tenere 660Z. So as soon as it is possible i can do a demoride on your latest model. And i really hope that this World Raid Edition will tick the right boxes better for me. But still there is something that has to go of my chest. And i think that a lot of other (potential) customers feel the same way. Why in heavens-name did you guys not fitted out this World Edition with cruise-controll ? I can understand why Yamaha did not do this with the standard and the Rally model. You want a price for the bike as low as possible. But i really think Yamaha should have integrated cruise-control with their World Edition motorcycle. You really should have done this. I am certain that a lot of potential customers still not are not going to buy it because of the lack of it. For certain people having cruise control is simply a must. Will this be possible as an option delivered by Yamaha in the near future. Or is Yamaha so sure about the future ? That there will be a real shortness for certain electronics ? And that this is the sole reason why Yamaha has taken this root with the T7 ? I would not find it even unwise cause if this would be the case most other brands are in real trouble. And also their customers. Having a bike in their garage with electronic problems that can't be resolved. KTM would have a big problem for instance. I hope that doing a demoride will surprice me completely in a positive way. So positive that it weights the balance for lacking cruice control. With this price it should have had it. Thanks for helping build the T7 World Edition. No thanks if you are the one that did hold back on having cruise control on the T7.🙈 Greetings from the Netherlands,👍👍 (That small country besides Germany and filled with Dutch people who want to pass Germany as quick as possible with the help of cruise control)

[@kostasrestas]

great video!! im strugling to choose between used world raid and a new tenere 700... i want to ask you something about the springs from forks. The springs inside the forks of world raid are the same like the standard ones from tenere 700 ???

[@ManuelLucchese1]

The World Raid suspensions are different from the standard Ténéré. To choose between one or the other depends a lot on the riding you do, for high speed the World Raid is better as it’s more stable instead for technical enduro style riding probably the standard is better as it’s slimmer between the legs

[@milaventurasprod]

I'll be honest, not sure if I want to trade my Tenere for a WR... So far it's handling everything I throw at it and eating it with gusto

[@adriantompson]

i have got a raid its well worth it for the up grades. i have got a high speck T7 as well. the raid feels so much lighter and the stock suspension on the raid is very good. i am keeping both bikes. i think the raid will be a better road bike because the wind protection on your knees and head is so much better. yout knees are sticking out 1inch wider than tanks so every were you can take stock T7 you will take the raid off road. raid is a great bike.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Super interesting to read your feedback, I have the opposite feeling I prefer the WR off-road and the T7 on road. I'm always interested in reading about different point of views, for me the game changer off-road is the fact I feel more stable on the WR.

[@adriantompson]

@@ManuelLucchese1i have not tried raid off road yet only bit of a jump on grass i can tell already its going to be great off road. much more balanced than the stock T7 used that almost three years off road now. but that is set up good. you and pol have done a good job on the raid. we will be just filling tanks half full for our off roading.

[@tianjohan4633]

I think we can say for certain that ktm and husq haved showed and proved to us the benefits of low COG via their low slung tanks. What I don't get is why you don't copy that. I think bike would be even better then as it stands today. EDITED: Sorry sorry sorry. I didn't catch that on the video at first, by then you did the side by side with sight line and I saw it. The tank IS lower.

[@PBstx1100]

Tanks ok the new KTMs are to low. Haven’t ridden the World Raid yet but they look to be a good middle ground. Only thing that I hope they change on future models is get ride of the double gas caps. That is dumb.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

The advantage of having the tanks in a center height position is that when you stick out your leg in turns you don't have too wide out. On the WR they have significantly lowered the fuel height compared to the T7

[@PBstx1100]

@@ManuelLucchese1 and that is exactly my issue with the new KTM adventure bikes. They just don’t have the “dirtbike” feel that the T7 has.

[@rangerxairsoft8171]

Excellent video and honest explanations! One question: is the braket that holds in place the Akra still welded to the frame? All other brands usually have that held in place with a couple screws in case you damage it.

[@keesverhagen9227]

Like you i also want your question being answered. I also hated this on my xt660z. In the Netherlands we have regulations and we are simply told that when your frame breaks (how minor it is) your totall bike is wrecked. And is not allowed to ride anymore. So going offroad is you taking an enormous risc.

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@keesverhagen9227 wow! Ain't that a stupid and immoral law! It reminds me of the era when the Dutch were taxed on the basis of their window size and number (so most houses ended up having small/less or boarded up windows). I guess, Dutch citizens make quite gullible victims for statists/professional politicians (aka parasites). Now they are confiscating your land because of the "climate crisis". There's something very wrong about the Netherlands these days.

[@Galloposer]

Great Video. Only one thing that I still don't get. Why haven't you gone with Tubeless wheels and tyres?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Thanks!!! The reason I believe is that for heavy off-road use the tubeless wheels are bit dangerous because if you get a dent in the rim then the tubeless won't hold the pressure so its more related to the concept Yamaha has of the Tenere for off-road use

[@StefanSu91]

Is it weird if I’m uncomfortable with how close he’s standing next to the other dude?

[@erkutgurun]

You can get wider footpegs, rally seat, big bash plate, engine radiator guard, and a lighter agropovic exhaust on the Tenere Rally edition. You can also adjust the Fork rebound, fork compression, and shock compression as well. So the difference with the world raid is even lesser than what people may think.

[@DakarBlues]

[@MilesB1975]

If the two fuel tanks are linked via one fuel-pump, then why bother with having two fuel filler caps? Looks Cool? Costs more!? Any good reason?

[@DB-me3jt]

It’s probably just a small link that would not communicate fast enough while fueling up with one filler cap. Same as the KTM 950/990

[@ManuelLucchese1]

The reason is for quicker filling but not only, if it had been a 1 unique big tank with that empty volume what happens is the fuel shakes a lot and the tanks would not breathe enough ending up with vapour lock. So the decision of twin tanks is also for the riding where you don't want a big mass of fuel shaking from one side to the other making riding difficult

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@DB-me3jt the 990/950s had fuel cutoff petcocks below the radiator in order to be able to use 1 tank if the other was damaged. I don't see those in the T7.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

For the WR in the video there are some b-roll shots of a bike with the crashbars installed. Yamaha has it as an official accessory so you can get them from the dealer.

Are the tanks plastic or metal? My T7, riding it when there is less than half of tank of fuel if great. When the fuel tank if full, you feel that weight up top. I never understood why Yamaha would only put a steel 16 litre tank on an adventure bike. It's a poor and lazy design. If someone makes a twin tank design for the standard T7 I feel the tanks will sell. No way in the world would I put on the current after market larger tanks, even more weight up top.

Great video, good job on explaining the changes on the tenere world raid. People are saying that you can fill the tank fully just by using one cap filler?

[@josephfelice601]

Has the bike changed in the ability to lift it after a fall? Still top heavy etc?

[@Braahification]

Should be easier because of the lower center of gravity, even with the extended capacity imo

[@ManuelLucchese1]

It feel a bit easier as the fuel is lower down. Still if you have full tanks it will take a bit of power lifting skills :P

I really need to know if it's coming to the US. As soon as I get the word, I'll find a nearby dealership to put a deposit on one. I don't know if it's a good idea, but this will be my first Adventure bike. I was just shopping around for a used bike, but after researching what's available in the market for adventure types of bikes and wow, I immediately fell in love with the Yamaha Tenere T7. On my wish/ dream list is to do, go on adventures with some friends of mine from here Texas to Canada, camp along, And experience a long journey on the road sightseeing, etc. This is coming from someone who had no idea about adventure bikes I was looking at some Honda, KTM, BMW, and Suzuki I wasn't even thinking Yamaha, after a few weeks of researching the T7, they announced "Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid" but no news on the US release. After finding out the world rate is coming out, I'm holding off, because I prefer the Yamaha looks and that long-distance tank and the price really set the bar high on my list of purchases, otherwise if there's no news on the release date soon then I'll go with the Honda..

[@ManuelLucchese1]

At the moment no info on the release in the US unfortunately. But you could consider to start a standard T7 as I don't think the WR will come to the US this year

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@michsky46 You cannot imagine the complexity in adapting whatever you have in mind on a specific bike. That's why I urge you to try making one yourself. I once made a carbon/kevlar copy bashplate for my 990 Adventure R and it took me 2 months to get it right. That's for a mere bashplate with a few mounting screw holes and an opening for the cooling of the regulator. The tank has to deal with the frame, engine, electronics, wiring looms, weight distribution, proper ventilation, ergonomics for the rider, expansion, cost and myriads of other parameters which you seem to think they are "easy" to deal with. They are anything BUT easy! In fact every little detail I mention will get you about a year to design properly! They have teams of designers and engineers to deal with these issues and still end up with a compromised end product. Hence, don't be ignorant and arrogant in your demands. Be thankful for wat these people offer or work to make something better and the market will reward you. But complaining from the comfort of your couch is not something admirable and will be met with comments like mine.

Great content thank you! I have sent you an email, hope to hear from you soon 👌🏼😊

[@atprodT700]

Hi all. I will speak to you in all sincerity. I don't get a point of view on a motorcycle by looking at Paul Tarres or you or any other rider on the T 700 Teneré. If you want to confirm the choice of the new T 700 Teneré entrust me with this bike on a long test loaded in solo off-road travel mode. (luggage, tent, tools, etc.) I have had the T 700 Teneré since July 31, 2019. I have a very average driving level. but I mainly use it off road. and often alone. (so no one to help me) Yamaha should have released a new lighter model and there we see "a new" higher heavier motorcycle and off road it is anything but good overweight. the original quality of the shock absorbers is really poor in off road. Yamaha should have thought a little longer about the orientation it wants to give to this bike. I'm not sure what the success of the 1st model is... higher... heavier... more expensive... more more equals fewer customers. See you soon

[@ManuelLucchese1]

We actually have been developing the bike for over a year, I think there is no one other than us that has made all the km testing we made. Trust me test it first you will realize suspension has improved and even if it’s heavier it feels lighter as the center of gravity has been lowered. We just won the Tunisia Rally on it I think results speak for themselves

[@atprodT700]

it's not a matter of trust. I don't question your talents as preparers, mechanics and drivers. Are you talking about the future Word raid T 700 Teneré model? Is this motorcycle intended for the general public? yes so once again Yamaha got the wrong voice. It is necessary to seek to lighten the motorcycle and to gain in quality of damping. We must not confuse rally use, which is also prepared according to the terrain and the driver, and general public use. I can assure you that a fallen 220 kg motorcycle like the Word T 700 is more difficult to raise than a 204 kg T 700. it is an indisputable fact. You can do rallies as many times as you want, it won't matter. the motorcycle is rewarding more beautiful but ultimately less effective for general public off-road adventure travel use. It's my point of view.

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@atprodT700 "I can assure you that a fallen 220 kg motorcycle like the Word T 700 is more difficult to raise than a 204 kg T 700." >>No, it isn't! It's a matter of leverage (or lack there off). With the right leverage you can easily lift 300kgs, much easier than 100kgs with no leverage! That's why a lower center of gravity makes a huge difference (if true!).
