The philosophy of Yamaha with GYTR – Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing – is always to take advantage of the research and development work carried out by the official competition teams and use it to create performance parts with the highest specification available for any Yamaha owner.
All GYTR parts have been developed using competition bikes, as the teams fight for victory at the highest level. And now, following the success of the Yamaha Rally Team, GYTR arrives for the first time in the Adventure segment, with the launch of a dedicated range that includes performance kits for the Ténéré World Raid, with parts also available separately for the standard Ténéré 700.
Yamaha Motor Europe P&A, with Yamaha Motor Europe Research & Development, in collaboration with the Ténéré World Rally Team and its riders Pol Tarres and Alessandro Botturi, worked meticulously to develop this new and exciting range of parts, resulting from the development of a two-cylinder adventure bike capable of competing and outperforming lighter 450cc prototypes.
This was recently proven at the TransAnatolia races, where the development Ténéré World Raid equipped with the complete GYTR kit finished first and second in the B2 class.
Offering an 8.5% increase in engine performance and a tuned frame to provide true rally potential, GYTR Performance Kits are supplied in three distinct stages that combine to create the ultimate Ténéré World Raid.
Developed to unleash the full adventure potential of the Ténéré 700 World Raid’s 689 cc CP2 engine, the GYTR Performance kit uses the original wiring but adds a lightweight racing exhaust system from Akrapovič built entirely in titanium.
Conceived to optimize the exhaust gas flow, the system works in conjunction with the GYTR air filter kit, consisting of a custom box and filter element, and the GYTR ECU, which adjusts ignition and fuel mapping to maximize power and torque. GYTR performance parts combine to increase performance by up to 9 hp.
In addition to the engine tuning parts, the kit also includes a rally seat and footrest kit. The GYTR Rally seat, made of a single piece, replaces the standard two-piece unit. Featuring the GYTR logo, the seat is made of grippy material for maximum control even in the most challenging conditions. As standard, the Rally seat increases seat height by 25 mm, but is designed to allow the rider to cut the foam and create a custom shape to meet their own ergonomic requirements. The Rally seat works in conjunction with the wider GYTR footrest set, which features a highly toothed design for improved grip and an open pattern to reduce mud buildup in extreme conditions.
The final component of the Performance kit is an upgraded clutch cover, with a split aluminum cover from the GYTR brand that allows easy access to the internal clutch operation for quick maintenance between rally stages.
The GYTR Performance kit has been developed for easy installation, allowing the wiring, wheels, and ABS system to be retained.
