从那以后一直是一个月Yamaha借给我们一个全新的2021YamahaTénéré700. And, after riding it on the dirt and pavement of Vermont and its surrounding states, it’s time to give you the results from our test. And the news is good. Quite good, actually. In this rider’s opinion, the wait for the bike to arrive in the USA was well worth it.

Ténéré 700 Specs

Ténéré采用四冲程，689个CC，燃料喷射的液体冷却的DOHC，制作一个以9,000rpm所要求保护的73.8 HP，并产生50.2磅的扭矩。

KYB在两端提供悬浮液。前面是一个43毫米的倒叉，旅行210毫米（8.3英寸）。后方的单一震动，旅行200毫米（8.3英寸）。

Front and rear suspension are adjustable for compression and rebound damping, but there are no high and low-speed compression adjusters. The shock can be adjusted for preload with a knob type adjuster at the rear of the shock. No tool is necessary.

The wheelset is a proper off-road adventure setup. The 2021 Ténéré carries a 21-inch rim up front and an 18-inch rim at the rear. The rims are clad with tube-type Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires with decently sized lateral blocks.

Stopping power is courtesy of Brembo. Twin calipers clamp down on twin 282 mm discs up front, while a single caliper grips a 245 mm disc at the rear.

Standard seat height is a tallish 874 mm (34.4 in). However, Yamaha provides two lowering options. A low seat option reduces seat height by 38 mm (1.5 in) to 836 mm (33 in). For an even lower seat, a 20 mm lower link can bring it down to 816 mm (32 1/8 in). If you use the lowering link, you will want to consider either a purchase of a different sidestand or cutting down the OEM piece. If you want to increase seat height and leg room, Yamaha offers an optional Rally seat. It adds 40 mm (1.6 in) height over the standard bringing your perch to 914 mm (36 in). For comparison, at 5’9″ with a 30″ inseam, I can sit on the machine in standard-seat form with the balls of both feet on the ground.

The Ténéré carries 4.2 gallons (16 liters) of fuel. That’s not a huge amount, but it is enough. More on that later.

其他功能包括强大的四梁投影仪LED头灯，一个面积大小的挡风玻璃，基本的滑板，护手围绕护手，GPS /附件安装横杆，可调节高度前挡泥板，覆盖的12V出口和带橡胶的脚踏板没有工具可拆卸的盖子。

Accessories

Yamaha offers many accessories for the Ténéré 700 in its catalog, where you can find a beefier and larger skid plate, engine guards, a rear luggage rack, a centerstand, heated grips, auxiliary lights, and lots of other accessories.

Ténéré 700 adjustability

在我的初步测试骑行期间，我很幸运地骑雅马哈的马库斯德米歇尔和诺亚飞息。他们带来了三个不同的送售Ténérés。有一个标准的Ténéré，一个带有20毫米降低链路和拉力座，一个带有低座位的座位。我骑着他们。

When all is said in done, riders of pretty much any size can comfortably ride the Ténéré with a few adjustments. If you’re short, add the low seat option and/or the lowering link. If you’re tall, add the Rally seat and your legs will be much less cramped. The Rally seat also has the advantage of helping you get over the front and into a more aggressive riding position more quickly.

Ténéré 700 feel

Once you’re seated, the bike feels much smaller than it looks. It feels more like a large dirt bike than it does a middleweight or heavyweight ADV machine.

The wide, flat handlebar is comfortably placed for my 5’9″ frame whether I’m seated or standing. Very tall riders may want to look for some bar risers to bring the grips closer when standing. The seat is long, flat, and narrow enough to allow you to easily grip the bike with your knees when necessary.

Some fear that the bike may be top-heavy because of where it carries its fuel, but it is not. On the contrary, it feels quite light and nimble—much smaller and lighter than its 450 lb (205 kg) wet weight would suggest. The only time the Ténéré’s weight becomes apparent is during slow-speed off-road situations where a tight turn is necessary.

Ténéré 700 engine

按下按钮时，Ténéré立即启动，并将其置于低次较低的咆哮。扭转节气门一位，基于MT-07的发动机立即反应，揭示其Revvy性质。从停止挡住时感觉非常光滑，几乎没有振动到达骑手。但是，在更高的Revs时，您可以通过右侧的垃圾剪辑。

将其旋转，您可以快速轻松地达到额外的法律速度。您也可以在第6次留下它，覆盖长距离而不振动。发动机在油门下迅速转动，但在较低的Revs下，很乐意沿着高速换档。虽然Ténéré的变速箱不令人难以置信的光滑，但它比在任一方面都快速更换齿轮的工作。使用50 LB-FT的扭矩可用，发动机非常易于易行，特别是在污垢中。更稍后的更多信息。

Ténéré 700 suspension

Ténéré的悬架很容易调节。所有你需要的是一个小的扁平螺丝刀，大约三分钟。您可以快速将其设置为毛绒或坚定的骑行，或者为您预期的任何越野条件改变悬架。

For pavement, I’ve been setting the suspension on the soft side. Vermont’s roads are twisty and quite bumpy. And with the suspension set at the lower end of the clicker scale, the ride is plush.

When on smooth pavement, even with the suspension set nearly full soft, the bike does not wallow or wander. With the pace turned up significantly, the Ténéré tracks well and goes where you point it. There are excellent twisties in Vermont, and the Ténéré is ready for playtime in the corners.

但随着人行道变得掩盖，最好坚持暂停几下咔哒声。你会失去豪华的骑行，但你将能够分配霜冻海卷，道路裂缝和没有戏剧的焦油蛇。随着节奏升起的，您可以快速抓住脚趾稀薄角度，限制因素是Pirelli蝎子拉力线轮胎。

Brakes

The Ténéré’s Brembo front brakes are easily modulated and provide a solid, progressive feel. On-road, they provide good stopping power. Off-road, even in less-than-ideal conditions, excellent feedback generates confidence in their use.

However, the rear brake is somewhat different. It locks fairly quickly and easily, so you’ll have to pay attention when using it. It’s not that the rear brake is bad. But it does tell you that if you lock it inadvertently or fail to brake enough, it’s all on you, not some electronic gadgetry. And for me, that’s actually quite nice.

电子骑手艾滋病

如果有什么区别的话,那就是700年,一个令人振奋的笨人le machine. Although the bike does have switchable ABS, that’s the only electronic rider aid. There’s no traction control, lean angle sensors, off-road mode, etc.; it’s just you and the machine.

当您打开点火时，启用ABS。要关闭它，只需将折短划线上的单个大按钮推到几秒钟即可关闭。ABS将关闭，越野在划线上亮起。并且，在一个很好的触感，如果你摔倒自行车，ABS仍然关闭。只有当您关闭自行车恢复到ABS模式时，才会关闭点火。

在电子骑手艾滋病线条中少，缺少突破和潜在的束缚。而且，他们的缺席也会让你知道你是否掌握在手头的任务，因为它不是“帮助”。简单可能非常好;或悲惨。

轮胎

我在OEM Pirelli Scorpion Rally轮胎上放出了超过1,500英里，并且它们的路面和污垢都是体面的。它们是一个完整的旋钮和更漂亮的旅游轮胎之间存在妥协。虽然它们是一种混合动力车，但很高兴找到一个带有半关节轮胎的冒险自行车，当您购买时安装了一个。新利18苹果你不会立即下降几百美元，以添加一些更多的离线导向橡胶。但是，如果你立即打算做一些严肃的越野骑行，你可能想在燃烧OEM后寻找不同的东西。

As to what you can anticipate for mileage, the rear is beginning to show some wear after 1,500 miles. I’ll admit to spinning it up a bit in the dirt, but I estimate that the rear tire will last somewhere between 3,500 and 4,000 miles of combined 50/50 pavement and dirt riding.

骑Ténéré700：路面

乘坐超过一个月的佛蒙特人行道和污垢提供了一些关于自行车的人行道的一些很好的信息，而Ténéré700则达到骑马的任务。它的光滑和扭矩发动机是恒星，使散步顶点和长途旅行简单而有趣。它是我曾经使用过的最平滑和最灵活的中间位移引擎之一。

When not attacking apexes, if the occasion calls for some long-distance travel, you can drone along all-day in comfort and solitude. I made one 375-mile backroad trip nearly non-stop and found that the machine did not leave me fatigued.

但我确实发现，如果您打算在一天骑行长途，您可能希望修改储存座椅。好几个小时没关系，但经过一整天的骑行后，您可能会发现舒适因素有限。

至于Ténéré的暂停，这取决于任务。它提供出色的稳定性和伟大的反馈。只需轻轻推动长扁平的车把，使左右过渡容易。正面轨道是真的，即使遇到少量松散的砾石，霜冻海卷和道路缺陷。

Set it up correctly for your anticipated riding style, and you can be aggressively chasing apexes or gliding along the smooth pavement. Frankly, the Tenere’s suspension is good enough to let it play with similar-sized “sportbikes” in the twisties. Or, with a couple of twists of a flat blade screwdriver, you can quickly have the suspension set for a plush and comfortable ride back to the home base.

在漫长的一天骑行中实现的一件事是靴子和右侧脚踏板之间缺乏间隙。您可能会发现您的右脚跟和靴子与股票脚踏板接触。这不是一个巨大的交易，但它可以很恼人的骑行。您可以通过安装一些较长的脚步来快速摆脱问题。

漫长的旅程还指出如何有效的relatively short and narrow windshield is. For its size, I was surprised at how well it provided my 5’9″ body with an excellent pocket of still air. There was minimal buffeting even at highway speeds.

骑Ténéré700：越野

While the Ténéré has good on-road manners, the key question is: How well does it handle off-road? In a word, admirably. One of the first things I noticed off-road was how good the feel from the front of the bike is.

让你的体重转向积极骑行，立即提供出色的感觉。起床，向前移动，前端正在做的一切都立即传送到你的手上。那种身体/机器通信使骑自行车如此简单，非常有趣，你想要花费更多的时间越来越多。

I’ve ridden the bike extensively off-road, over a mixture of hardpack dirt, crushed rocks, loose sandy conditions, mud, and washouts, and I can say without a doubt that the Ténéré makes the going easier and fun.

部分易于来自自行车的发动机，它在水龙头上有很多扭矩。在小径上，很少需要划出齿轮箱来使事情发生。将它留在第二个，赶紧克服，快速响应，以迅速响应到节气门的投入。把它踢到第三，你会发现自己以速度划出。

The machine also proved its handling capabilities during my initial test ride in Georgia. Riding on ATV trails, I encountered conditions that were often rocky and sometimes loose, with a smattering of Georgia-clay mud sections. I rode through one of those mud puddles and cross-rutted the two ends of the bike. The bike immediately made a right turn towards the trees (my fault), but the feel through the front was so good that I was quickly able to straighten it and avoid a visit to the hospital.

现在我是佛蒙特州的家，Ténéré曾在类似的地形上，同样良好。即使在公共污垢道路上，海水也很常见。衬里宽松石头的深车是日常出现的。所以只有骑在山上的行为，我们生活就可以骑马。Ténéré毫不费力地吞噬了松散的地形。

That said, the Ténéré could use a larger and more protective skid plate. When you are riding in loose rocky sections, rocks are bound to be propelled onto and around the plate. And stones were bouncing off the stock skid plate when I was riding in Georgia. Not only did they hit the skid plate, but they also hit the unprotected sidestand switch causing it to fail and the bike to stall. It’s an easy trailside repair to splice the wires together, but it’s a repair that shouldn’t be necessary.

Ténéré可以使用一些帮助的另一个区域是更悬挂阻尼。我不是轻量级骑手。当跳过速度的水边顶部时，有时候我可以达到Ténéré的暂停限制。打火机但更具侵略性的骑手可能会发现同样的事情。因此，如果您打算像摩托车越野车一样骑Ténéré，您可能想要看看紧致的东西。但对于大多数骑手来说，Ténéré的暂停良好达到了越野的快乐的任务。

The GPS mounting crossbar and the LCD dash jiggle quite substantially during spirited off-road riding. It’s not enough to be distracting, but it would be better if both were attached more firmly.

燃油系列

Some have expressed concerns that the Ténéré’s fuel tank is too small for ADV-type missions. The middleweight machine carries 4.2 gallons of fuel, which is less than several other similarly sized bikes.

But there’s no need to be concerned. The Ténéré’s engine is very fuel-efficient. During over 1,500 miles of sometimes very spirited riding, the bike returned average mileage figures of 50 to 58 miles per gallon. Even at the lowest mileage, you’ll be seeing more than 200 miles before running dry. If you’re easy on the throttle, you could see 240 miles between fill-ups.

With fuel efficiency like this, you won’t likely need the extra gallon of fuel that some of the other bikes carry. And you won’t be stuck carrying the extra weight.

Nice touches

有时它表明制造商正在关注骑手的小事是摩托车的小事。Ténéré是一个案例。随附的股票机包括一些小但赞赏的约会，许多其他制造商不提供或收取额外费用。

Yamaha apparently knows this and includes things like a folding rear brake lever, folding gear shift lever, and an adjustable front fender. The folding levers are not fancy, but Yamaha thought to include them at no extra charge. And if folding helps you avoid a broken lever when out on the trail, that’s an excellent thing.

至于可调节的前挡泥板，只需松开四个小型螺栓（不要卸下它们），您可以向上或向下滑动前挡泥板或向下3/10英寸。这不是一个巨大的金额，但额外的空间可能是持续骑行和前轮胎锁定泥浆之间的区别。

Pros and Cons

Pros

• A smooth, revvy, and torquey engine.
• Excellent front end feedback—you can always feel what the front end is doing.
• 暂停到越野骑行的任务。
• 半旋转轮胎是标准的。
• 一个小挡风玻璃，让一个舒适的安静空气口袋。
• 折叠制动和换挡杆等漂亮触摸，易于调节的前挡泥板是标准的。

Cons

• Needs a more protective skid plate as standard.
• Could use more suspension damping for very technical terrain.
• Tight clearance between the right footpeg and footpeg mount—could use longer footpegs.
• 摇晃横杆和短划线。

Summary

The Ténéré 700 is far more than the sum of its parts. Yamaha has built a very capable and fun machine to ride both on- and off-road. And have done it at a price that will make you smile.

The Ténéré feels lighter and smaller than its actual size. The feedback through the bike’s handlebar is excellent, and the engine has more than enough power and torque to make cruising pavement or riding off-road an exercise in fun.

暂停达到了骑行骑在人行道上的任务，并从岩石和水箱顶部弹出。坦克带来了足够的燃料，让你到大多数地方而不担心。

我会买一个Ténéré700吗？

I’ve now ridden the Ténéré for more than a month. During that time, I have asked myself, “Would I buy one with my own money?” And the answer to that question is a resounding Yes.

Yamaha has exceeded my expectations with a highly capable machine that is priced at less than $10,000 US. That’s a big deal. With its closest competitors being the KTM 790 Adventure and the KTM 790 Adventure R, the Ténéré’s pricing excels.

在其基本价格（即，没有工厂选择），KTM 790冒险与其不可调节的前悬架会让您返回比Ténéré的2,700美元。新利18苹果如果您希望拥有可调节的前悬架的790新利18苹果个冒险r，您将不仅仅超过3,700美元，而不是Ténéré的MSRP，两种差异都没有添加任何KTM的选项。

对我来说，价格与性能差异是选择Ténéré700的简单选择。如果您对中占用冒险自行车有任何兴趣，您欠您自己在购买决定之前以自己测试Ténéré70新利18苹果0。它确信我。
