Introduction: Why transform an already almost perfect Ténéré 700?
After decades of traveling the roads of France, the observation is often the same: if the Yamaha Ténéré 700 Custom is the queen of the desert, the reality for many French motorcyclists lies in 80% on the tarmac of the Alpine passes (the famous "hairpin bends") and 20% on the TET tracks.
The original 21-inch setup with inner tubes is excellent for pure off-road riding, but it lacks responsiveness in tight corners. Today, we present the modified version. "Super-Adventure" for the Yamaha T7 2025 : a machine capable of retaining its adventurous spirit while adopting the agility of a roadster thanks to a Supermoto T7 conversion High-end.
I. The Wheels: Tubeless Wheel Kit Ténéré 700 in AL7050-T6
The heart of this metamorphosis lies in the reduction of unsprung mass. PISCES Racing , we have designed a kit of 17-inch T7 rims which eliminates inner tubes altogether.

Technical specifications:
- Before : 17 x 3.50 inches (for 120/70-17 tire).
- Back : 17 x 5.00 inches (for 160/60-17 or 170 tire).
- Premium Materials: We use the alloy AL7050-T6 for the rims, offering the best impact resistance on the market, and hubs made of AL6082-T6 machined from solid (CNC).
- The advantage of tubeless tires: If you get a flat tire on a remote road in the Ardèche, there's no need to remove the wheel. A simple plug and you're back on the road in 3 minutes. It's the ultimate in travel safety.
II. Braking: Beringer excellence for surgical precision
A Yamaha T7 2025 preparation A car worthy of the name must have braking systems that match its new dynamic performance. For this, nothing beats French expertise: Beringer Aerotec .
By installing CNC 4-piston (100 mm) calipers coupled with floating discs of 320 mm , you transform the feel at the lever. The bite is immediate, easily modulated, and allows for "one-finger" braking. For the new KYB fork of the 2025 model, we offer fork legs specifically designed for a perfectly integrated installation.
III. Aesthetics and Longevity: The Choice of Cerakote
Forget traditional anodizing that fades under the Côte d'Azur sun. For this project, we opted for a coating Cerakote (ceramic).
- Hubs: Deep Yamaha blue.
- Rims: Satin Black.
- Why Cerakote? This treatment is ultra-resistant to heat, brake dust, and sea salt. Your motorcycle will stay like new, even after thousands of kilometers.
IV. Technical Guide: What you need to know before getting started
There Supermoto T7 conversion It's not just about changing the wheels. Here are the crucial points for a balanced machine:
- Chassis Geometry: By switching to 17-inch wheels, the front of the motorcycle drops. To compensate, we recommend increasing the fork preload by 6 mm in order to regain a flatter platform and better stability when entering a curve.
- Side stand: Because the motorcycle is lower, the original kickstand is too long. Installing a short, adjustable kickstand is essential to prevent the motorcycle from tipping over when stationary.
- Counter Correction: Changing the wheel diameter results in an error of approximately 10-12% in the displayed speed. For those seeking accuracy, installing a speed correction device (HealTech or similar) is recommended.
Conclusion: The Ténéré 700 as you've never seen it before
With a weight loss of nearly Weighing just 2.5 kg less in unsprung mass , this 2025 Yamaha T7 becomes a true "corner killer." It offers the best of both worlds: the comfort of a trail bike and the performance of a supermoto.
