2024 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Rally Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Yamaha's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2024 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Rally features a 689 cc (42 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 72.4 HP (52.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 68 Nm (50.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 105.1 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Tenere 700 World Rally measures 220 kg (485 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3.04 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 890 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,595 mm (62.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 23-liter (6.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 535 km (332 miles) between fill-ups.
