For all of our EU & UK customers you can purchase at altrider.eu Unfortunately we no longer offer a skid plate for the Super Tenere 😒 We do have some other parts available for the Super Tenere: www.altrider.eu/product/category/fmid/43/cid/1/d/Parts+and+Accessories+for+Super+Tenere+XT+1200
@englishjr The panel on the right uses 1/4-turn fasteners, and houses the batter, and toolkit, so we did allow clearance to remove that panel with the bars installed.
Thanks for the great video. The ST1200 is on my short list. This videos helps. Nice meeting you boys at the NYC IMS show and the after party. Best of luck.
Not sure why the Super Tenere is underrated. Today I went down to my local dealership and sat on the following 2016 bikes back to back. KTM 1190, Honda Africa Twin and Yamaha Super Tenere. I can tell you without any reservation that the feel, fit and finish of the Super Tenere was miles above the other two bikes mentioned. Still not sure why the bike is underrated.
I'll tell you why it's underrated , because it not even close to the 1190R and Africa Twin adventure wise and ill give you facts to prove it. KTM 1190/1090R Suspension Travel - 220 mm Front/Back (1090R and 1290R Have PDS which is great offroad) Africa twin Suspension Travel -230 mm Front - 220 Back Super Tenere Supension Travel - 190 mm Front - 190 Back Africa Twin and 1190R/1090R/1290R - All of these have a 21 Inch rim and 18 Rear Super Tenere - 19 inch front 17 Back like the BMW's 1190R/1090R/1290R weight 235/230/240 KGS and Africa twin 230 and about 240 for DCT Super Tenere weight 261 KGS While all of the mentioned KTM and the Twin have a ground clearance of 250 MM the Super Tenere Stands at 205 MM They only awesome thing that the Super Tenere has is that shaft drive which is cool , not like the flimsy BMW one that cracks like a pos. Many are choosing it because its more of a toured than an adventure bike....When it comes to offroad you cant ignore none of the above points :)
@@Backhurtsbad i agree with all the points you covered but its work like magic offroad. Africa twin has introduced the same parallel twin 270 deg but Yamaha has it 8 years ago. It balances so well off and on road and it's more powerful than AT.
@P999ASJ We are working on our AltRider.eu website which should be launching in the next few months. If you do go to our website, we do ship to the UK. You can add the product to your cart and press calculate shipping which will tell you how much it will cost to ship to the UK.
Some well thought about and skilfully crafted components. Do you create these items for other adventure bikes? I'm a metal fabricator with 27 yrs exp and I'm surprised that you've not chosen titanium. Although, more expensive similar in weight as aluminium. yet as strong as stainlesss
what kind of tires are you guys using for full off roading part adventures ? awsome product and idea , adventure style riding is becoming huge all over the world ! so many places to explore and go compaired to a street or dirt pacific bikes ! awsome vid
You guys are doing a great job! But i would love to see how it does in the SNOW say MT.Rainier area or where ever they're may be snow! Also do you know can the windshield be completly removed??
@JamieMoorbyJamie, thanks for your inquiry. You'll want to go to AdventureMoto(dot)com(dot)au that is are our Australian distributor. You can also contact them for pricing!
I like your stuff and your design philosophy. HOWEVER, I really feel that you are missing the boat by not offering lower protection for the bike. If you crash the tenere on a flat surface, like a road, you may not need lower protection. BUT, when you take that bike offroad, there may be plenty of rocks that make the surface uneven and cause damage to the lower and most vital parts of the bike when the bike falls over.
Friggin' sweet! It's so nice to see a bike like this actually ridden off-road.
Super Tenere is the best motorcycle i have ever owned.

It's a travel bike, not an offroad bike. For offroad I'll take a KTM EXC 500...

That's the way to do it! Explain the design and show your stuff off.
You've got yourself an order.

Perfectly done video!!! If I end up purchasing this moto vs. the GS, I will be adding these parts to it. Cheers!
Great presentation and sturdy looking products , I will consider these products.

You can actually combine the AltRider uppers with the factory Yamaha lowers and have full protection if you need it. They can be fitted together.
Your bars assume the bike will be layer down on a flat surface, if the bile is layed down of road a rock can have a direct hit on the engin.

Hi Guys, How much do the side bars retail for? And is any of your stuff available in Australia?
Do the crash bars need to be removed to take off the side panels?
No they dont 🙂
@KYOANSHIKI We had TKC 80s on it for the off road stuff -- if you're looking for some, you can order them at AltRider [dot] com.
Great video. You earned another subscriber.
@KYOANSHIKI Thanks! You should get in touch with Les at DualSportPlus -- they carry our parts and he can help you out.
