Why the Ténéré 700 Is the Best Bike for a Morocco Adventure

Five thousand off-road kilometres later, an honest review.

AN
Anas N.Founder & lead guide

Three seasons. Two engines. Six rear tires. Here is the honest report.

What works

The CP2 motor is a masterpiece. Bombproof. Smooth. Just the right amount of power for the dunes — too much, and you bury the front.

What doesn't

Fuel range. Sixteen litres is not enough for a serious desert loop. We carry a 3 L Rotopax on every guide bike.

Verdict

Still the bike we would pick. Better in sand than anything else under €15,000. Better-looking than anything else, full stop.
