Yamaha is bringing a surprising amount of technology and performance in 2022. At the same time, the redesigned MT-10 is undoubtedly the star of the show, and Yamaha revised it before EICMA 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yamaha plans on introducing an entirely new motorcycle. The Tenere 700 Raid Prototype will be Yamaha’s adventure-touring bike to incorporate Adventure Sport DNA.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tenere 700 Raid prototype continues to live on. That’s the takeaway from recent patent pictures showing a 700cc sport-touring machine that remains faithful to the concept of a street-legal ADV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike previous renderings, these patent drawings include all the side panels seen on the 2022 Tenere 700 Raid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The sealed software, CNC-machined aluminium triple clamps, dedicated ECU comes from Yamaha’s Technology Racing (GYTR) components.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tenere 700<\/strong><\/a> Raid patent works as an evolution of the already high-spec Tenere 700 and includes elements that showcase Yamaha’s prowess in creating technology for the most gruelling conditions on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evolution<\/h2>\n

Yamaha introduced the Tenere 700 back in 2019. The adventure-oriented middleweight sport-tourer was developed as a more off-road capable alternative to the Tenere 600, an updated version of the XT660Z Tenere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, many were not happy due to its unrefined brakes. And Yamaha later made sure<\/strong> <\/a>the Rally Prototype gets the master cylinder with 300mm front and 267mm rear disc brakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"2022-yamaha-tenere-700-raid-patents\"<\/p>\n

Last year, Yamaha introduced Tenere 700 Raid at EICMA 2021, a range-extending feature. However, the latest patents only showed one auxiliary tank mounted on the bike’s rear end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, new literature spells out that there indeed is a second range-extending bottle sitting on the subframe. Because of this setup, We assume the auxiliary gas tank will have a capacity of 4.2 gallons or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The patent filing also shared details of the 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700<\/strong><\/a> Raid. The dual-tank configuration allows for additional storage space in the front half of the fuel tank while tapering down to a narrow section at the mid-point.<\/span><\/p>\n

A side panel design for a dual-tank configuration and integrated crash guards is among the most notable changes. The high-mounted front fender this patent wears may not make it to production, but Yamaha could offer it as an accessory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on these patent drawings, the new Tenere 700 Raid looks like it will be equipped with plenty of off-road features like a long belly pan and side wind deflectors.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also appears to utilize a more extended seat and zigzag footpegs for aggressive off-road riding. Further, we could see the TFT console replaced by an LCD console over the standard model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Production vs Prototype<\/h2>\n

So for the Tenere 700 Raid production model, you’d think Yamaha wouldn’t want to make the upgrade options too appealing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0But the Akrapovic and KYB will arrive as an addon, so the aftermarket development partners suggest the Raid will be more of an up-spec version of the regular Tenere 700 instead of a completely new version different machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, let’s not forget that the Akrapovic exhaust and up-spec KYB suspension were standard for the prototype. However, unlike Tenere 700, Yamaha wants to add the Raid to a budget-friendly segment.<\/span><\/p>\n
