Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022

Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2022

The World Raid is a successful addition to the Ténéré 700 model range. Until now, it was up to the real enthusiasts themselves to improve the off-road suitability. With the World Raid, Yamaha is now putting a ready-made version for long (desert) tours into the showrooms of the dealers. Even if the full 500 kilometre range is rarely needed in practice, this model is especially worthwhile because of its fine chassis components. On the road, the World Raid is less rocky; off-road, the enormous reserve provided by the fully adjustable KYB hardware is convincing. The response is at an absolute top level. The standard Öhlins steering damper also brings calm to the front. In addition to subtle model updates, such as the colour display, smartphone connectivity or new controls, the World Raid continues to shine with familiar Ténéré qualities. After our test, we say: Sometimes less is still more. It knows how to please!

proven drive

superb chassis

clean finish

extensive range of accessories

appealing price-performance ratio

good serviceability

well thought-out detail solutions

23 litres tank capacity not everyone's cup of tea

Braking performance at sporty road speeds

KTM 1090 Adventure R 2017

That's exactly how a KTM should be. It feels sporty, but also offers a lot of comfort. Off-road, it was robust, reliable and fast. The chassis does everything, the braking as well. The electronic riding aids enable completely new sections for this weight class. If it weren't for the enormous seat height, it would be a terrific tip for many enduro riders.

Powerful sporty engine

practical modes for onroad and offroad which perfectly regulate traction control and peak power

robust and offroad-compatible chassis

huge choice of accessories and equipment from KTM.

Seat height is enormous. Body height 180cm is minimum

engine response a little too sporty on long trips

sluggish at low speeds.
