Tenere 700 Adventure Footpegs

Just finished the Black Hills BDR-X with several days of wet and muddy conditions. Absolutely could not have done it without the grip these pegs provide. Size is perfect for long term standing.

Great pegs, excellent service and fast delivery - they really do make a difference to off road riding

Can a foot peg have TOO much grip…? Possibly. More on that later. I’ll begin with the fact that someone saw the need for a better, lower Tenere 700 foot peg to give riders with longer legs a little more room and as the title says, one half inch may not sound like much, but it is noticeable. Also, I wear a 47 boot and the extra length allows you to position it a little more casually on the peg. Now to the “grip” part of the review. I'm Guessing that 75%+ of Tenere 700’s sold in the US will never see a real rally which requires the rider to be firmly planted on the pegs for long fast sections. The 10-12mm set screws may be necessary for this or other extreme situations ( super slow technical). Having said that, the boots mentioned above are Forma Boulder’s, technically a trials boot with a super grippy mid sole section. Unfortunately, I have to contend with some stop and go traffic to get to and from where I ride and once planted on the pegs with the longer screws it was a bit tricky to make quick moves on the pegs to brake, shift and put your foot down in a sudden stop. Ordered 6mm and 8mm set screws from Belmetric for basically nothing ( 5-8 cents ea.) and experimented mixing lengths at different parts of the peg where the boot makes contact and came up with a perfect combination and still offering plenty of grip. It’s the adjustability that make these pegs unbeatable. Bottom line…VM has made a financial commitment to manufacture parts that improve the ride quality of the bikes we love. They are to be commended and supported. Plus, the swag stickers don’t disappoint, especially the one with an IPA as an integral part of the ride.

Great build quality and straightforward install. Husqvarna needs to have a factory “Vanasche Edition” because Vanasche has a fix for almost all of the 701’s flaws. Great bike but Vanasche makes it better. Worth the extra money.

The looks and quality of the pegs are impressive and the ability to lower them makes the riding position much more comfortable when seated on the bike. 10/10!
