Pol Tarrés World altitude record with a twin cylinder Yamaha Ténéré 700 TERRIBLE 7

About the latest adventure of Pol Tarrés and his tribe: An ultimate Yamaha Ténéré 700 test that turned a mountain rookie into a world record holder.
Rellinars, 19.05.2022 Restlessly dreaming of riding vertically till the end of the world, Pol Tarrés, an official Yamaha rider from Spain, had no choice but take action. In a record time of as little as three months, a prophetic dream grew into a creative project of the Trece Racing Society and The Who production company. To find a few weeks in Pol’s racing calendar, was already an achievement on its own right. To leave home having zero experience with mountains, or high altitude, is a whole another story. Plus, the engineer who dealt with the bike mapping for roaring in thin air, said No way. The team was obviously in great need for some luck, and as fortune favours the brave, they got plenty of it.Faithful to his obsession for the roads less travelled, Pol turned his eyes toward the Mercedario mountain. Two-wheeled hunters usually hit the more accessible volcano Ojo del Salado. “The main purpose of our expedition was to test the bike and the rider in the toughest conditions possible, going Alpine style all the way. On 12th of March I took off from the base camp 3000m high, did 10km and slept at the intermediate camp at 4500. On the 14th, I touched the highest point ever reached on a twin-cylinder bike, 6157,5 meters. When I finally got a radio connection, I told my team that I won’t be able to continue. I could tell they stopped breathing. They’d never heard me saying I can’t. The rocky monster literally ate my tire and that was it,” laughs Pol. “But for the rest, after many gnarly sections I broke through till that point, I knew I could make it to the top. Top or not, we did something gigantic!”“It was kind of a laboratory test in vivo,” adds Javi Echevarría, man behind the lens and Trece team manager. “We had no clue about the mountain and its unpredictability. Even filming was super tricky, but the little material we managed to get - pure magic! The company Inka Expeditions made a contingency plan in case something went south - various assistance teams were put on the trail - and shared their wisdom with us, mountain rookies. We are immensely grateful to Pablo Tetilla, chief of Inka Expeditions, and his team, Pol’s guide Bauty and Roxana, our doctor. We did it without a helicopter on call and without previous tests in some fancy hyperbaric chamber, but we’d never make it without them.”One of the biggest unknowns was how Pol’s body would react to the high altitudes combined with extremely demanding physical conditions. “Sure, I got tired from the lack of oxygen and while pushing the bike in the wall. I burned 20000 calories each day. After 5000m the temperatures dropped as low as 20 minus. I was sweating but freezing. But then breathtaking views revealed themselves which I can’t describe. I’ve never felt so small in my whole life. Out there you are nothing. Being very mindful about every move, I forgot about the cold, thirst and the pressure of not making a mistake. But truth is, the bike suffered much more than we did. With all my riding and mechanical knowledge, I would never imagine a bike could resist so much! Of course, we changed the configuration of injection mapping - from the standard 5500 to 8000m, but for the rest, we just left the bike as it was. The engineers who were involved in the project were at odds at each other. Sure, how can you predict something that was never done before?” You can’t, so let’s just resume… The bike torture-test showed that Yamaha Ténéné 700 is ready for 7000. Pol showed once again that he was born ready - his free-ride to Cerro Mercedario, one of the highest mountains of the Andes, made its way to the Guinness World Records book and made him yearn for MORE. And Javi got the proof that the story is not a science fiction but on old good documentary material.This is what happens when Trece racing society tackles an adventure with no experience. What could happen now that they got some? Let's wait and see - the team will be back in the mountains still before Christmas, riding and filming their best. The adventure continues.

Pol is the sole reason I decided to buy T7. I knew very well I wasn't going to do anything he can but I was sure the bike will handle anything I can throw at it. Thanks Pol

[@Holmaaron]

Pol has sold more t7’s than every Yamaha salesman combined haha

[@mlencastre]

Yup! Pol sold one to me too!

[@blablubdubdub]

Same here

[@richardmilsom3350]

Ditto…

[@bensnipes7288]

Yup...same here. Fellow trials rider as well

[@durtyred86]

It's not that I wanted to attempt to do what Pol does... It's that I realized the T-7 had such a large gap between my ability and it's limits that I'd never outgrow the bike... - Nearly every T-7 owner.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Over twenty thousand feet altitude on a m'cycle; absolutely incredible! Obviously the bike had to have some modifications but it says an awful lot about the machine that the basic T7 platform was the chosen mount for this extraordinary feat. Amazing rider and an amazing bike. Hats off to the support crew as well.

[@stefanosemisa9288]

That's more that outstanding... This is beyond "The Seeker" saga... This is true adventure and human being at his best! You guys are awesome!

[@celtibero1011]

Superb 👌, great bike and a great rider with a fine support team 👍. Incredible achievement...I'm pleased my T7 is capable of mountaineering...!!😉. Look forward to seeing more!! Cheers, Steve

[@vitygass]

Pol eres un animal, estas haciendo del motociclismo off road otro mundo, estas reescribiendo esta disciplina, ANIMO MAKINA, Como dijo Josef Ajram: No se donde esta el limite, pero si se donde NO esta!!! Saludos y ánimos desde Galicia

[@tincho1979]

Una bestia Poll, mil felicitaciones por tu logro, no hay palabras para describir el esfuerzo y planificación requeridos para conseguirlo. Los hermanos Echeverria unos maestros con sus películas. Y punto aparte que lujo te diste de subir el mercedario, y conocer esta parte de la Argentina. Saludos desde Tucumán, Argentina.

[@victorhugogamboapelaez7241]

Nuevamente, MIS RESPETOS POL! Bendiciones y gratitud desde Colombia! MOSTRO!!!

[@warkox2012]

Nunca en mi vida imaginé lo que tu consigues, enhorabuena crack, y felicitaciones a todo el equipo por el buen trabajo, seguir sorprendiéndonos, grandes!!!

[@miguelizquierdo1357]

Enhorabuena, que máquina y grande eres!!!!

[@Paramecio_Z]

Que grande Pol!! Eres el mejor con esas pesadas motos y eres capaz de hacer lo que muchos ni siquiera soñamos. Es un orgullo ser español como tú y como toda la saga Tarrés. Lástima ruta nuestros agendatarios gobiernos, hagan todo por destruir nuestra afición al trial, al enduro y al trail. Enhorabuena a todo el equipo y como no a Yamaha, que sabe hacer motos fiables como nadie. ☘️🍀

[@chrisdavisunofficial]

Incredible feat of man and machine!

Felicidades Campeón!!!

[@muhammadshahabadshareef146]

Love from India. You are the only reason I am going to buy the T7. Thank you so much. I've decided

[@ethanhund]

You do realize that comparing his modified T7 to a stock one is like comparing a Formula 1 car to a Camry?

[@w4gap]

So incredible brother!!! You are a true inspiration to us all :-)

¡Enhorabuena crack!

[@iantarquini9277]

tremendo video,gracias por este contenido

[@marcosroldan3924]

Pol. Me pongo a tu disposición!!! Hace años que transito la cordillera en solitario y llevando grupos. He alcanzado junto con un amigo a bordo de ATVs y sin equipo de asistencia ni oxigeno los 5858 msnm. En tu caso hubiera elegido una montaña mas propicia para lograr un record y que tuvieras que sacrificar menos fisicamente, igual la alturta es la altura. Podes ver un tremendo proyecto de altura y mayor desafío realizado por Jean Maggi con una tricicleta de mano en el Himalaya. EL LIMITE INFINITO por Netflix ,donde a parte de ser el asistente personal y responsable de la tricicleta en todo momento fui el responsable de la medicion y anticipacion del riego.!!! Te deseo lo mejor en los nuevos proyectos.

[@thunderbear0]

I have no skills like you but more i see you riding this T7 more love in my heart increases for T7 now this bike became my dream bike and want to ride it around the world

[@ethanhund]

The only stock thing left about his T7 is most likely its display, don't get your hopes up that you will achieve anything even close to his stunts on a regular T7.

[@thunderbear0]

@@ethanhund honestly I don't want to Just need a bike that can do offroad and on road and highway

[@juliogitto7013]

Impresionante!!!!

[@ArielBaravalle]

una pasada de video !! No me extraña que perdiera los tacos el neumático , si lleváis Mitas , menuda castaña , pero entiendo que es un sponsor y no lo podéis dejar mal jajajajaj

so awesome

[@shottonr]

After the first Tarres video, I decided I want a Tenere. And somehow he keeps getting crazier and crazier. Now I'm going to have to buy three. But what I'd really like to buy is buy him a beer. This guy is a hero.

[@pranavision4439]

Pol, you are awesome! Not everyone climbs to that height on foot. To ride a motorcycle... wow, that's something! you are cool. Why did the descent show so little? The descent is harder than the ascent)

[@davidhui8865]

What bar setup is that everything looks low profile and comfy

[@MadM0nkey]

We'll it aint that tough actually .. not even close for those of us who walk in the Himalayas

[@living2014]

Letsss gooo mate, keep it going 🔥🔥

[@genomedia44]

What did the clutch look like after?

[@GaspardeGuzmanyElche]

Pol, los pilotos aprenden a regular la mezcla de gasolina a partir de 3000 pies, (1000 metros) ajustes con la mezcla se tienen que hacer comprobando la temperatura de los gases de escape. Una mezcla muy, muy rica, innecesariamente rica y la gasolina la tiras por el escape. Ajusta ,reduce la injeccion, brutal hermano el video!!!!
