The 2026 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid has received its first US ride review as the model reaches American dealers. It's priced at $12,999, $2,000 above the standard T7, and carries a 6.1-gallon dual tank — 31% more fuel than the base bike — along with a new 6-axis IMU delivering lean-sensitive traction control. The bike began arriving in showrooms in May.

Look at the spec sheet — the fuel tank is up to 6.1 gallons, 31% more than the outgoing bike. Fork's grown to 46mm with 9.1 inches of travel, and there's a 6-axis IMU running lean-sensitive traction control now. This is the good part. I can't stop wondering how that 485-pound curb weight actually feels once the first-ride numbers land.

A 31% bigger fuel tank probably means extra weight to carry along with the extra range.

It launched in May — isn't a first-ride review only showing up now a bit late?

Lean-sensitive traction control off a 6-axis IMU is a pretty generous spec for this price point.

With that spec sheet, this is going to get compared head-to-head with the KTM 790 Adventure.

$2,000 over the standard model seems fair once you factor in the cornering TC and bigger tank.

The 6.1-gallon tank stretching range is great news for long-distance rally riding.

More range is nice, but that's presumably part of why the price climbed too.
