We already knew the Ténéré 700 was capable of riding around the world, crossing the highest passes, winning the most gruelling and competitive rallies and even performing on motocross tracks as well as trial and enduro.
But why stop there? One area not explored with the Ténéré to date is Freestyle motocross, and certainly not one of the most difficult tricks of all: the backflip!
Until today, a backflip was a feat never achieved before on a Ténéré and is especially difficult because of the bikes size, which is almost twice that of the motocross bikes you’d usually find in FMX.
Experienced rider Jérémy Rouanet accepted the challenge. Taking a Ténéré 700 prepared with great care in the workshops of the Ténéré Yamaha Rally Team with a host of GYTR accessories and an Akrapovič exhaust, Rouanet was able to perfect the backflip after just a few weeks’ training!
The Ténéré 700 really can do everything.
