Bike: Yamaha XT1200ZE Super Ténéré

The Yamaha XT1200ZE Super Ténéré is packed with advanced rider assistance technology for the highest levels of engine and chassis control.

Upgraded engine characteristics have been achieved by making a number of changes to the engine, including the use of enlarged intake and exhaust ports, as well as revised camshaft and piston ring designs, together with the use of a new exhaust system. These refinements result in a smoother and better engine character, and also provide an extra 2bhp. The quality of the transmission has also been enhanced with the adoption of a new rubber shock absorber in the clutch assembly, and the shaft drive system is equipped with an improved damper design in the engine housing.

Long distance riders will appreciate the fitment of cruise control as standard equipment, as well as the all-new electronically adjustable suspension, that allows the rider to select from four pre-load settings and three damping force settings via a multifunction handlebar switch.
