XT1200ZE SUPER TENERE RAID EDITION
The XT1200ZE Super Ténéré Raid
Editionis the latest model in the Adventure segment, and regarded as one of the
most durable and capable large capacity models in this competitive category.
The high specification of this latest model is inspired by the development of
the Tenere 700 World Raid, and it comes fully prepared for serious long
distance exploration.
The 1199cc 2-cylinder engine features
a 270-degree crank layout that delivers strong torque for effortless riding. The
Super Tenere Raid Edition is equipped with new 37-litre aluminium side cases,
giving a total capacity of 74 litres.
These sturdy yet lightweight
new side cases are designed to accommodate additional luggage that can be
strapped on top, increasing the carrying capacity. For extreme durability, this
high quality aluminium luggage has all corner points reinforced in techno
polymer.
For high levels of wind and
weather protection the exclusive Super Tenere Raid Edition is equipped with a
high screen and wind deflectors - and with fog lamps fitted as standard, the
XT1200ZE Super Tenere Raid Edition has the same 4-lamp face design as the
Tenere 700 World Raid.
The Super Tenere Raid Edition
is also equipped with exclusive carbon side panels, while the newly designed
graphics reinforce its rugged go-getting spirit, and underline its position as
the ultimate large capacity Yamaha Adventure model.
TENERE 700 WORLD RAID
Inspired by the remarkable
levels of worldwide interest generated by the T7 concept - together with the
positive feedback and encouraging reviews from those who have ridden it -
Yamaha has created Tenere 700 World Raid, a prototype model which is being used
to develop the final specification of the production model.
The Tenere 700 World Raid's
low weight and slim chassis give excellent off road performance for more
extreme riding in a wide variety of terrain - and its compact 689cc CP2 engine
delivers a wide band of tractable and easy to use power that make it ideal for
on and off road adventure riding.
At the very heart of the
Tenere 700 World Raid prototype is the same highly acclaimed 689cc 2-cylinder
crossplane engine that has been used in the best-selling MT-07.
The prototype also features a
custom-made rally-styleAkrapovic exhaust. The fuel tank has been developed to
give a useful range between refills, while at the same offering excellent
ergonomics and contributing towards the machine's low weight.
Carbon is used for the side
panels, front fender and the one-piece rear tail, and the cowl is equipped with
a Dakar Rally machine inspired 4-projector headlight assembly.
The cockpit area is designed
to enable the rider to locate additional equipment such as navigation devices,
and this exciting adventure bike features the T7-inspired colour scheme, with
Racing Blue and carbon fibre bodywork.
