Motorcycle specifications YamahaXTZE 1200 Super Ténéré 2020 Silicon between the wheels

discreetly, the 1200 Super Ténéré evolved in 2014 with a little more punch, less weight, enhanced riding 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 touch of a button. The Super-T thus 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 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, 3-stage traction control, dual fuel injection mapping (touring or Sport mode), cruise control, the big twin increased to 112 hp and an irresistible desire to ride. 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.
