Thanks to and to, dealer in Toulouse (31), the special envoy of the Journal moto du Net on the 2013 French rally championship will compete in the events on the handlebars of a 1200 XTZ Super Tenere !

With his multi-cylinder podium in the Tunisia Rally Tour obtained on the handlebars of the 1200 XTZ Super Tenere of Yamaha Motor France (read our), Marc Troussard, the "multi-titled" rallyman of the last century, will try a full season at the controls of this motorcycle.

"I feel too good on the Super T, safe everywhere!" explains Marcus: "It drives easily fast on all types of roads, with a super healthy chassis, tip top anti-slip (TCS), perfect ABS and impeccable brake coupling, an easy engine and full of torque, total happiness! I am curious to measure myself against the tenors of the discipline in the French championship ", continues the almost fifty-year-old, the eye still keen and winning in the stomach !

Last Saturday, Marcus received the keys to the machine from the hands of Joël Grazide, the friendly boss of Toulouse. A beautiful 2013 Super T, in black dress (MNC obliges), Worldcrosser model please, decked out with an Akrapovic silencer and with a not insignificant little "more": an ECU box "reprogrammed" by the master of the electronic injection, .

This reprogramming radically transforms the motor behavior, making the relaunches even more muscular! (the speed range between 3000 and 6000 rpm benefits from a marked increase in power and torque, with a peak at +2.3 m / kg and +14 hp at 4200 rpm). The TCS will often be in operation on small terro-gravillo-wet roads !

Side shocks, thanks to the collaboration of Ohlins France, fork preparation and rear Ohlins in anticipation. For the brakes we will rely on the original four-piston calipers, which are already very efficient. And for additional lighting, Tecno Globe will equip the machine with xenons and Led lights.

Weight gain is currently being investigated in MNC workshops … and the pilot has started a draconian diet to fit into the Ixon clothing and Scorpion helmet, as since 2006.

The future will tell whether the Super Tenere can compete with the discipline’s fighter jets: a daring bet with a motorcycle whose primary vocation is not necessarily competition! To be continued on Site from the first event with the rally of the Garrigues on March 16 and 17 in Laverune (34), stay tuned !
