Yamaha Tenere 700 Explore 2024

Yamaha Tenere 700 Explore 2024

The addition of the Ténéré Explore to the model family makes the adventure bike with cult status accessible to a whole new interest group. The shorter travel compared to the other Ténéré 700 models lowers the seat height to 860 millimetres. This results in a more secure stance both off-road and in urban environments. The Explore is made for Ténéré fans who are mainly travelling on asphalt roads.

Quickshifter (Up) on board as standard

pannier rack included ex works

accessible for smaller Ténéré fans, comfort on longer tours

Less travel for off-road

Quickshifter (Down) not yet possible due to missing Ride-by-Wire

Ducati DesertX 2022

Ducati DesertX 2022

The new DesertX is the latest Ducati model to be powered by the new 890cc V2 engine. And it is also the model that benefits most from the new engine. It remains as sporty, adventurous and stable as ever, but thanks to its user-friendly engine, it also excels in everyday riding and on more off-road terrain. The biggest area for improvement is long-distance comfort, though that’s really just nit-picking. The new DesertX is a very well-rounded package, offering plenty of performance both on and off the tarmac and with hardly any notable weaknesses.

A V2 engine that is very easy to control yet sporty and revvy

strong torque at low revs

very good gear ratios

high chassis stability

very good off-road ergonomics

finely tuned electronics

good feel for the front wheel

precise modulation of the front brake

practical improvements compared to the previous model

cruise control, quickshifter and USB-A and USB-C as standard

Wind protection at 1.85 m is rather average

the quickshifter can be a bit sensitive to accidental contact with boots

the rear brake has a long free travel

the passenger footrest gets in the way a bit with large boots
