Inside all of us is a spirit of adventure that's just waiting to be set free. And when the urge to break out of the daily routine becomes irresistible, this high-tech explorer is ready to take you wherever you want.
The XT1200ZE Super Tenere is built to satisfy your desire to discover what lies beyond the horizon.
Everything about this hugely capable long distance adventure bike has been designed to take you further than you ever imagined possible. Equipped with a hugely powerful 1199cc twin and a rugged chassis, the Super Tenere is ready to thrill on the highway and excel on the dirt.
One of this engine's most interesting features is its 270 degrees crankshaft and the superior traction this crank layout delivers. Because both cylinders fire closely together, traction is improved and the rider can better feel the grip at the rear tyre similar to that of a single cylinder. This technology was developed by Yamaha for use on its winning Dakar rally racers.
In order to achieve a high level of reliability in a variety of conditions, a low-maintenance shaft drive unit is adopted. This shaft drive unit is the first on a Yamaha motorcycle to use what is called a hypoid gear. This compact-design unit helps to reduce un-sprung weight and mechanical noise as well, while contributing to excellent running stability.
