Turn Your Ténéré 700 into a Real Off-Road Machine

If you’re planning to ride your Ténéré 700 off-road, a few smart upgrades can make all the difference.
Whether you’re a beginner in off-road or an experienced rider, these 5 improvements will boost your bike’s protection, comfort, and performance on rugged terrain.

And depending on your needs, you can go even further: crash bars, inner tubes or Bib Mousse, comfort grips… Build the bike that suits your adventure style!

ADVENTURE WHEELS – HAAN WHEELS

Reinforced wheels built for off-road use, offering better shock absorption.
Compatible with Bib Mousse inserts for added safety on all types of terrain.

Excel® Rim

Front wheel for Ténéré 700 – 21×1.85″ by Haan Wheels

Rear Wheel for Ténéré 700 – 18×2.50″ by Haan Wheels

OFF-ROAD TIRES – MICHELIN

For better grip and stability, it’s essential to choose tires adapted to your terrain.

Front: MICHELIN ENDURO MEDIUM (90/100-21)

Rear: MICHELIN DESERT RACE (140/80-18)

Bib Mousse: M16 front / M02 rear
Perfect for sandy, twisty, and rally terrains. These tires offer excellent longevity and outstanding puncture resistance thanks to Bib Mousse – the ultimate anti-puncture solution for off-road riding.

AIR FILTER – TWIN AIR

The air filter plays a crucial role in engine performance. It must be both airtight and highly efficient.

The Twin Air Filter Kit acts as a pre-filter, placed over the OEM paper filter, providing extra protection.

To install the Twin Air filter and its aluminum cage, the original airbox must be removed. The kit improves airflow and protects the engine more effectively against sand, dust, and water.

Part number 152622P includes a pre-oiled foam filter and an aluminum flange.

PROTECTION PARTS – ACERBIS

To ride off-road with a stock Yamaha Ténéré 700, several components should be upgraded for better protection.
Key protection parts include:

Frame guards
Engine case protectors
Swingarm protectors
Chain guide

Additional equipment can also be considered depending on your skill level and type of riding.

SUSPENSION – OTS FACTORY

Suspension makes all the difference on a motorcycle!
For improved comfort, stability, and overall performance, we highly recommend having your suspension professionally tuned .
We work closely with OTS Factory to prepare the suspension setups of our riders, ensuring each bike is adapted to its specific off-road demands.

Some of these modifications can be found on our race bikes, such as Haan Wheels and suspensions prepared by
OTS Factory.
These are also the improvements we recommend to adventurers who ask us for advice. And to go even further, we can also point you towards GYTR kits
