TriumphDaytona 675

Description

Inspiration and engineering.

Since launching as the first three cylinder bike into the highly competitive supersports bike category, the Daytona 675 has made a lasting impression.

The combination of the lightest frame in class and narrow three cylinder engine has always given the handling, agility and intuitive feel that sets the Daytona apart.

The 2009 Daytona improves on this still further with new fully adjustable front and rear suspension, both of which allow the rider to adjust high and low speed compression damping separately.

There’s further evidence of our ongoing performance focus with increased power output, now up 3PS to 128PS peak, plus a 3kg reduction in overall weight. The rear wheel has been reworked to reduce weight and inertia for quicker acceleration and improved suspension performance.

Add to this new front monobloc radial callipers and radial master cylinder that deliver track bred stopping power. For 2009 the engine management system has been calibrated to accept our new accessory quick-shifter. No mess, no fuss just bolt it on and plug it in. All this clearly shows how on track development time has significantly contributed to the new Daytona 675.

As top supersport in the demanding Masterbike in ‘06 and ‘07 and the Supertest ‘King of the Supersport’ crown for three years running, the Daytona has already proven to be an unbeatable combination of inspiration and engineering on road and track.

Priced at £7,589 OTR the new 2009 Daytona 675 raises the bar once again.

ENGINE

Triumph‘s R&D department has taken an evolutionary approach with the 2009 Daytona, using experience gained from racing in the Supersport World Championship to develop the new machine. The latest specification 675cc three-cylinder engine revs to a 13,900rpm redline and pumps out a mighty 128PS.

FRAME

The Daytona 675’s aluminium frame is fabricated with open-back cast spars which wrap over the top of the motor, accentuating the benefits of the narrow three-cylinder design. The lightest frame in its class, it weighs in at a mere 8.7Kg.

SUSPENSION

The fully-adjustable 41mm upside down forks and rear monoshock unit both benefit from highly sophisticated high and low speed damping control, allowing riders to set their Daytona up with maximum accuracy. This track-bred suspension gives razor sharp handling and can be tuned by the rider to suit their own style.

INSTRUMENTS

The Daytona 675’s digital instrument console has all the usual trip functions as well as displaying average fuel economy. Also featured is a sophisticated lap timer – useful for comparing successive lap times on a circuit as well as average and maximum speed for each lap.

BRAKES

New radial-mount Nissin monobloc brakes are mounted to twin 308mm discs for stunning levels of stopping power and rider feedback.
