Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big, tall adventure machine best suited to riders with prior experience on large-displacement bikes rather than absolute beginners.
PurposeBuilt as a long-range, go-anywhere adventure tourer, with this Worldcrosser edition adding extra off-road and touring-ready hardware.
Rider FitAt 261 kg with an 846 mm seat height, it demands decent height, strength, and confidence to manage at low speed and off-road.
CharacterIt has a torquey, unhurried parallel-twin character paired with shaft-drive reliability, favoring smooth, controlled power delivery over outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForIt is not the right choice for riders wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city commuting or track-day carving.

2014 Yamaha Super Tenere Worldcrosser Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2014 Yamaha Super Tenere Worldcrosser, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
