Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, long-travel suspension setup and the low-speed handling quirks that come with serious off-road capability.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance adventure and rally-style off-road exploration, with a large fuel tank and rugged suspension prioritizing endurance over raw speed.
Rider FitThe tall 35-inch seat height and 485 lb wet weight demand decent inseam length and some upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvering and picking the bike up off-road.
CharacterA rally-bred, go-anywhere adventure machine that rewards standing on the pegs and tackling rough terrain over cruising smooth pavement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for shorter riders, strict city commuters wanting a low seat height, or anyone chasing sportbike-level acceleration and cornering sharpness.

2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 875mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
