Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2026 vs. Yamaha RW700 Explore 2027

Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid 2026

If you want to, you can tackle even challenging off-road terrain with it. Yet, if you don’t need to cover long distances, you’ll still prefer the lightness of the standard T7. The World Raid’s wide fuel tank makes a noticeable difference in terms of ergonomics and handling. The high-quality suspension, on the other hand, copes well even with tough off-road sections, and thanks to the steering damper, the bike remains very stable even on dirt tracks travelled at high speed. A 6-axis IMU and Ride-by-Wire system also allow the Ténéré’s long-distance flagship model to incorporate cornering ABS, drift control and lean-angle-sensitive traction control. The quickshifter, however, is an optional extra. All in all, true to its name, the World Raid is particularly well-suited to world travellers and, in this respect, is very well thought out with its long range and high level of off-road comfort – yet it is not quite as comfortable as other touring enduros with a stronger focus on tarmac.
