AltRider Crash Bar System for the Yamaha Tenere 700

When your Tenere 700 goes down — and eventually it will — the difference between a quick pick-up and an expensive repair comes down to what you have protecting the engine and bodywork. The AltRider Crash Bar System is built as a two-part system that works together: lower bars shield the engine and soft metal case covers across four frame mounting points, while upper bars extend that coverage to the radiator and plastics.

The two bars are not just bolted together — they are joined by custom stainless steel cast clamps welded directly to the upper bars, which lock onto the lower bars and tie the left and right sides into a single rigid structure. A solid core inner tube connects both sides internally, and a solid billet piece ties them externally. The result is a system with no flex and no weak points. Impact force spreads across the entire structure rather than concentrating at one spot.

Stainless steel means no paint or coating is needed to resist rust. Whether you ride in mud, rain, or river crossings, the finish holds up without attention. Available in bead-blasted matte stainless or powder coat black.

When your Tenere 700 goes down on a remote trail, crash bars are the difference between riding out and calling for help. This full system pairs the AltRider Lower and Upper Crash Bars to cover the engine, case covers, radiator, and plastics in a single integrated package.

The lower bars mount to four points on the frame. The upper bars connect to the lower bars at four additional points using custom cast stainless clamps welded directly to the upper bars. This ties the left and right sides together and ensures the force of an impact is distributed across the entire system — not concentrated at one point.

Internally, a solid core tube links both sides of the bars. Externally, a solid billet piece locks them together. The result is a system with no flex and no shifting, even after repeated hard use.

Available in bead-blasted stainless steel or powder coat black.

The Tenere 700 is a capable bike. These crash bars are built to keep it that way after a tip-over. The lower bars mount to four points on the frame for a stable, rigid foundation. A solid inner core tube connects both sides of the lower bars, eliminating any movement or shifting under load. A solid billet exterior connector adds further rigidity and a clean finish.

When you add the upper bars, custom stainless steel cast clamps weld to the upper bars and attach to the lower bars — tying the left and right sides together a second time. This means crash energy is absorbed across the whole system and distributed to multiple frame mounting points, not concentrated in one spot.

The lower bars protect the engine and soft metal case covers. The upper bars extend coverage to the radiator and plastics. Either configuration is available in bead-blasted stainless or powder coat black. The upper bars require the AltRider lower bars for installation — they are not designed to mount directly to the frame.

When your Tenere 700 goes down, the engine and soft metal case covers take the hit first. These lower crash bars mount to four points on the frame to put solid stainless steel between the ground and your motor.

A solid core tube connects both sides internally, and a solid billet piece ties the exterior together. There is no flex between left and right. The system stays tight and predictable, fall after fall.

The lower bars are also built to accept the AltRider Upper Crash Bars. Adding the uppers ties both sides together at even more points, increasing the overall strength of the lower bars while extending coverage to the radiator and plastics.

Available in bead-blasted stainless steel or powder coat black.

The AltRider Upper Crash Bars extend your protection to the radiator and body panels — the components that take the most damage when a bike goes down on its side. They mount to the AltRider Lower Crash Bars, which are required for installation.

Four mounting points on the lower bars, combined with custom cast stainless clamps welded directly to the upper bars, pull the entire system together. Adding the uppers also increases the strength of the lower bars by tying the left and right sides together more firmly. Impact force spreads across the full system instead of loading any single point.

A solid core tube connects both sides of the upper bars internally. A solid billet piece closes the connection externally. Nothing shifts.

A tip-over on the trail does not have to mean a damaged radiator or cracked plastics. The AltRider Crash Bar System for the Tenere 700 is a full upper and lower system designed to take the hit and protect what matters.

The upper bars extend coverage to the radiator and body panels — the parts most exposed and most expensive to replace. Custom stainless steel cast clamps weld the upper bars to four mounting points on the lower bars, so impact force is distributed across the entire system rather than concentrated at a single point. A solid core tube connects both sides internally, and a solid billet piece links the exterior, eliminating any movement or flex under load.

Installing the upper bars also strengthens the lower bars by tying the left and right sides together into one rigid structure. Available in silver bead-blasted stainless steel or powder coat black. AltRider Lower Crash Bars are required for installation of the Upper Crash Bars.

The Tenere 700 is a capable machine, but its engine cases and radiator are exposed. One tip-over on a rocky trail can mean expensive damage. This full crash bar system — lower and upper bars together — covers both.

The lower bars protect the engine and soft metal case covers, mounting to four points on the frame. The upper bars extend that protection to the radiator and body panels. The two systems connect through custom stainless steel cast clamps welded directly to the upper bars, tying the left and right sides together so impact force spreads across the entire structure rather than concentrating at one point.

Internally, a solid core tube links both sides of the bars. A solid billet piece ties them externally. The result is a system with no flex and no movement — even after hard contact with the ground.

When a Tenere 700 goes down, the damage happens fast. Engine cases, radiator, body panels — all exposed. This full crash bar system puts two layers of protection between your bike and the ground.

The lower bars anchor to four points on the frame and shield the engine and soft metal case covers. The upper bars extend that coverage up to the radiator and plastics. The two systems connect through custom stainless steel cast clamps welded directly to the upper bars, locking everything into a single structure.

What makes this system different from bolt-on tubes is how it handles an impact. Force doesn't concentrate at one point — it travels through the entire structure and spreads across all mounting points. A solid core tube connects the left and right sides internally. A solid billet piece ties them together on the outside. The result is a system with no flex, no shifting, and no weak links.

Available in bead-blasted silver stainless or powder coat black.

A tip-over on the trail puts the engine cases and soft metal covers directly at risk. The AltRider Lower Crash Bars for the Tenere 700 get in front of that damage. Four-point frame mounting keeps the bars stable under impact, not just in a straight fall but in the unpredictable angles you get off-road.

Inside, a solid core tube connects both sides of the bars. A solid billet piece ties them on the exterior. There is no flex, no shifting — the structure holds its position when it matters.

If you want to add radiator and plastics coverage later, the AltRider Upper Crash Bars mount directly to these lower bars. The lower bars are required for that installation.

When a Tenere 700 goes down, the engine cases and soft metal covers take the hit first. These lower crash bars mount to four points on the frame, putting solid stainless steel between the ground and your motor.

Both sides of the bars are connected internally by a solid core tube and tied externally by a solid billet piece. This eliminates any movement or flex between left and right — the bars stay exactly where they need to be.

The lower bars are also designed to accept the AltRider Upper Crash Bars. Adding the uppers not only extends coverage to the radiator and plastics, it further reinforces the lower bars by tying the system together more completely.

Available in bead-blasted silver stainless or powder coat black.

The Tenere 700 is a capable machine worth protecting. The AltRider Crash Bar System is built as a complete, integrated structure — not just two separate bars.

The upper bars connect to the lower bars at four points using custom stainless steel cast clamps that are welded directly to the upper bars. This ties the left and right sides together and means crash forces are absorbed across the whole system, not concentrated at a single point. A solid core tube runs through the inner diameter connecting both sides internally, eliminating any movement or shifting. A solid billet exterior piece adds further rigidity.

The upper bars extend protection to the radiator and plastics — the components most exposed and most expensive to replace. Available in bead-blasted silver stainless steel or powder coat black. The lower bars must be installed before the upper bars can be fitted.

Note that this system is Euro 5 compliant.
