The Backcountry Explorer
The Yamaha Ténéré 700 is a lightweight, no-nonsense adventure bike built to conquer the rugged terrain of the Appalachian Mountains. Powered by the legendary CP2 parallel-twin engine, it delivers torquey, predictable power that shines on loose gravel and technical dirt trails.
With its 21-inch front wheel, long-travel suspension, and rally-bred ergonomics, the T7 is purpose-built for riders who want to spend more time off the pavement than on it. If your route includes the deep forests of Pisgah or the challenging dirt of the SEBDR, this is the machine you want.
