Motorcycle specifications YamahaXTZE 1200 Super Ténéré 2018 Silicon between the wheels

the 1200 Super Ténéré has quietly evolved in 2014, with a little more punch, less weight, enhanced driving pleasure, and an identity preserved in every respect. 2017 saw it brought up to Euro4 standards. Its legendary name has given it notoriety, but to face up to the competition, a more sophisticated version with high added content must complete the manufacturer's offer.

with an E to complement the XTZ, Yam's big trail becomes more upmarket, offering more equipment and, above all, a set of electronically-adjustable suspensions. With this system, very similar to the one fitted to the FJR 1300 AE and AS, the rider can now customize his suspension at the flick of a wrist. The Super-T joins such high-tech trail bikes as the KTM Adventure, Ducati MTS, Aprilia Caponord and BMW R 1200 GS. Some are still a step ahead, however, with semi-active suspension systems.

a multifunction knob on the handlebars, a soft control, a few micromotors and the 1200 XTZE offers 4 preload settings and 3 for damping force, making 12 main options. You can then fine-tune the settings over 7 levels. All in all, the Yamaha system offers 84 possible settings. Ciao screwdriver and wrench 12.
Like the base version, the Super Ténéré is equipped with UBS coupled braking, disconnectable ABS, traction control with 3-stage traction control, dual fuel injection mapping (touring or Sport mode), cruise control, a 112-hp twin and an irresistible driveability. To justify its premium positioning, this E version comes with 3-position heated grips, an imitation suede seat cover, top case support, large passenger grips, center stand and hand guards.
