There's no ordinary performance at the RedBull Romaniacs. Everone's a hero. Photography: RedBull and The WHO Project However if you show up at (likely) the toughest enduro race in the world on a Yamaha Tenere 700 all of the sudden things begin to look very, very interesting. See, this is [...]
That'd be a challenge even for us who do it nearly on the daily basis, however we produced a cool time lapse video. Needless to say that this video is not intended for installation instructions purposes, however if you'd like to admire our 2-3 installation job squeezed into a 5 [...]
Not even in our wildest dreams did we ever think of something like this, but it's happening. The Seeker aka Pol Tarres, the guy who makes a Yamaha Tenere 700 look like a trials bike despite its mere 200kg+ weight. If you haven't seen the short film, yet then please [...]
Just a few months ago we posted our 7th crash bars drop test video. It happened to be a Yamaha Tenere 700. The results were obvious because the bike escaped with zero damage as we torture tested the crash bars. Video below: https://youtu.be/aWSwZDLjl0w Well, if somebody was looking to criticize [...]
You can pretty much disregard pannier racks for small dual sport bikes but it's more or less a necessity for big bikes. Then again, what qualifies for "big bike"? A KLR 650 or DR 650 should already but a KTM 690 Enduro or Husqvarna 701 shouldn't? This is where the [...]
We still have the honour to be the only manufacturer in the world who regularly beat the living soul out of their crash bars. And we keep raising the level (bar). There's no picking and choosing anymore. All new crash bars we design and develop must be severely tested before [...]
No, it's an alternative that would cost you an arm and leg. We simply created a system no other manufacturer has managed before. First and foremost, I must say thank you to our Czech, Slovakian, Polish dealer Radek Fiala a.k.a. Motorkaruv Pruvodce for putting me on the right track [...]
We torture test our crash bars prior to beginning sales. The Outback Motortek Yamaha Super Ténéré 1200 crash bars are no exception. Why should they be? They're just as important as our Africa Twin 1000 or BMW R1200GS crash bars. As a matter of fact, Yamaha's design is slightly different from [...]
Final(ish), I should say. This is the stage when things become serious. Really serious. It goes without saying that the BMW R1200GS LC crash bars development has been serious from the get-go. At this stage however we have a lot to lose, should one of the crash bars components fail. [...]
We can say that this development project has taken us the longest. Can you guess the reasons? It's the boxer engine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it per se but the cylinder heads are extremely exposed to potential damage. Designing crash bars for it demands extreme measures as well that [...]
