Yamaha's Tenere 700 took part in the Red Bull Romaniacs Hard Enduro Rally Race, held from July 23rd to 27th. The twin-cylinder adventure machine took on the race that is said to be the toughest in the world, and achieved a remarkable feat.
Complete the Silver Class, which is difficult even for an exclusive machine
Pol Tarres, a hard enduro rider and Yamaha rally racer, has completed the Silver class of the 2024 Red Bull Romaniacs Hard Enduro, an event renowned as one of the toughest hard enduro races in the world.
This race is so difficult that most riders who attempt it fail to complete it. Three years ago, Pol Tarres became the first rider to complete the Bronze class on a twin-cylinder engine machine, and in a new challenge, he also achieved the feat of being the first rider to complete the Silver class on a twin-cylinder engine.
While many of his rivals were riding lightweight 2-stroke enduro machines, Thales struggled on his heavy Ténéré 700. Despite hitting a tree and damaging his radiator, he made it to the top of the Gusterita Hill Climb, which is said to be impossible to succeed in. He placed 60th out of 113 riders in his class.
"This race was tougher than the Erzberg Rodeo or any other race I've ever taken on. It was also my dream to succeed in the Gusterita Hill Climb!" said Thales. Furthermore, in the Bronze Class, Kevin Gallas, who also rode a Ténéré 700, won, demonstrating the Ténéré 700's extraordinary performance.

It's a grueling race that includes motocross-like jumps, testing not only the rider's skill but also the machine's potential.

The beginning of the race involved sections with artificial logs and tire jumps. While the enduro machines struggled, the Tenere 700 showed equal speed.
