Safari Tanks is pleased to announce that its rally-developed long-range tank for the Yamaha Tenere 700 is now available for purchase.
Generally, with long-range fuel tanks, you achieve the extra range at the expense of handling. This is the opposite with the rally tank.
This new tank improves handling, control and stability, making the bike much easier to ride and control.
Its 45-litre twin tank system is a unique update that opens your riding capabilities and gives you all you need for next-level adventure. It must be experienced to be believed.
The final test of the tank was a trip around Australia, completed by Safari Tanks founder, Robin Box.
“You must use it to fully understand the benefits of moving the centre of gravity. It is beyond what we thought possible and it takes time to adjust to the new normal.”
The twin tanks fit all Tenere 700 models from 2019-2023, excluding the World Raid, and the system has completed harsh testing and development to ensure uncompromised and improved rideability.
Extended fuel range comes in at 700km at 15km/L, 900km at 20km/L and 1,000km at 22km/L.
With 18L in the tank, the fuel sits at the top of the skid plates, while 30L sits below the bottom of the original tank.
It opens up exploration capabilities never considered. Whether you’re riding remotely or not, the tanks keep you riding.
This means you get to choose your stops rather than scheduling your day around fuel stops. You can go further, see more, and worry less with the extra range on hand.
With more than enough surplus, this Tenere tank removes all fuel anxiety with the benefit of improved control and stability.
Former Yamaha factory rider and Dakar racer, Rod Faggotter, and Luke Woodberry from Mallee Motorcycles in Mildura have completed over 15,000 kilometres of testing on the rally tanks.
Woodberry rode the bike across the Simpson Desert on one tank, including 400km of deep sand riding. Once he realised he had plenty of fuel, he did not hold back!
While initial thoughts were about what the extra fuel range would enable, it is the handling and control improvements that massively exceed expectations.
The final weight distribution of the Safari Tank has been perfected.
