RAID CATEGORY
The Raid category makes the adventure accessible to everyone.Unlike the Racing category, there is no timing or rankingso no pressure. The navigation is simplified, and you can choose to navigate with a roadbook or GPX tracks.
The route is also tailored to avoid the most technical sections, while still offering an authentic experience. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience a rally-raid adventure with the Yamaha Ténéré Rally Team, with all the benefits: logistics, assistance, management, and much more.
RACING CATEGORY
The Racing category is the classic category in rally-raid, designed for riders who want to challenge themselves.
Navigation is done exclusively with a roadbook, and thorough preparation is recommended to take on this challenge and reach the finish line.
To assist you in your preparation, the Ténéré Centers offer specialized training, whether it’s to refine your roadbook navigation or to improve your riding skills in the desert.
It is in this category that we find our official riders: Alessandro Botturi and Pol Tarrés.
