2026 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid in Redline White American adventurers will now have access to an up-spec T7 that’s been available in other markets for a few years. The 2026 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid will be available starting in May and includes upgraded components and extra features compared to the standard Ténéré 700.  One of the most important upgrades for those with serious adventuring ambitions is the increased fuel capacity thanks to new dual aluminum fuel tanks. Total capacity has increased from 4.3 gallons to 6.1 gallons, netting a claimed 300 miles of range.  Dual fuel tanks increase capacity, and the steering damper is adjustable. The second upgrade is in the suspension package, which adds nearly an inch of wheel travel front and rear. The World Raid comes with a fully adjustable KYB 46mm inverted fork and a link-type KYB Monocross rear suspension unit, offering 9.1 inches of travel up front and 8.6 inches in the rear. Half an inch of ground clearance was added, bringing the total to 10 inches. It also comes with a 16-step adjustable steering damper.  The KYB inverted fork is fully adjustable and offers longer travel than the fork on the standard T7. The Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle provides the World Raid with two power modes (Sport and Explorer), and a 6-axis IMU enables lean-sensitive traction control and slide control, both with three modes (Street, Off-Road, and Off). The ABS system is switchable from On, Rear Off, and Off via a dedicated button. Other rider aids include cruise control and an adjustable speed limiter. A quickshifter is optional.  The World Raid replaces the standard’s two-piece seat for a one-piece rally-style seat. The bike features a one-piece rally-style seat and large footpegs with removable rubber inserts. It adds a new windscreen and removable side deflectors, as well as a new four-beam rectangular LED headlight. It rides on spoked aluminum wheels (21-inches front, 18-inches rear) wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires with 50/50 on-/off-road bias.  The 6.3-inch color TFT display is vertically mounted and includes three theme options: Street, Explorer, and Raid. The display also connects to mobile devices through the Yamaha MyRide app, which allows riders to review their route and riding statistics and to share the info over social media, as well as enabling calls, music, and navigation.  The 6.3-inch TFT display is mounted vertically and includes three display options. Like the standard Ténéré 700, the World Raid is powered by Yamaha’s liquid-cooled 689cc parallel-Twin CP2 engine, with a 270-degree crankshaft, peak power of 63 hp at 9,000 rpm, and peak torque of 43 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm. It also retains the standard T7’s steel perimeter frame.  New LED headlight. The 2026 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid will be available in Redline White or Midnight Black with dedicated emblems and decals starting at $12,999. The standard Yamaha Ténéré 700 returns unchanged for 2026, available in Team Yamaha Blue or Tech Titanium and starting at $10,999.  2026 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid in Midnight Black Visit the Yamaha website for more information.  Check out more new bikes in Rider’s 2026 Motorcycle Buyers Guide  The post 2026 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid Preview  appeared first on Rider Magazine.
