A winner on the road and a winner on the racetrack, Triumph’s groundbreaking Daytona 675 has set a new standard in the ultra-competitive supersport class.

Debuting the 675cc three-cylinder format in a sea of otherwise conformist 600cc fours, the Daytona 675 has garnered a cabinet full of awards and accolades since being first introduced for the 2006 model year, including two Masterbike titles and an undefeated three Supertest titles. The Triumph has also proved successful in supersport racing around the world, winning national championships around the world.

The latest specification Daytona 675 delivers 125PS at 12,600rpm with a classleading 72Nm torque, making the Triumph one of the most flattering sportsbikes to ride on both the road and track, and endowing it with an addictive soundtrack only a triple can provide. The engine itself is an integral part of the overall design, with the stacked gearbox allowing for a very compact powerplant that contributes to one of the lightest and most balanced supersport bikes on the market.

As you would expect from a class-leading sportsbike, the Daytona 675 is well equipped in the chassis department too.

The fully-adjustable 41mm inverted front forks and rear monoshock unit both benefit from sophisticated high and low speed damping control, allowing riders to set their Daytona 675s up for maximum accuracy while retaining a plush ride.

Radially-mounted Nissin monobloc calipers give outstanding levels of feedback and stopping power, while lightweight wheels keep unsprung mass down and contribute to an agile motorcycle that changes direction in a heartbeat. To fully exploit the Daytona 675’s outstanding chassis, the bike rolls out of the factory wearing Pirelli’s race-developed SuperCorsa SP tyres for supreme levels of grip and feedback.

At 162kg dry (185kg fully fuelled and ready to ride) the lightweight Triumph is a true race bike for the road.

For 2012, the Daytona 675 gets a fresh new look thanks to new graphics and finishes throughout.

2011 Triumph Daytona 675R Overview

By | May 21, 2011 | Triumph, What's New |

In a way, the economic downturn could be viewed as a good thing. If you look at it from the perspective of the motorcycling world, that’s when the hectic craze of updating the leanest and meanest sportbikes every two years came to an end.

2011-Triumph-Daytona675R

Yamaha’s YZF-R6 and Honda’s CBR600RR (and CBR1000RR) have been practically the same for at least four years. Suzuki and Kawasaki have only recently updated their sportbikes, and even Ducati’s 1198 (and 1098 before that) is virtually the same.

Triumph, too, is guilty of not updating its supersport machine, the Daytona 675, for some time. Introduced in 2006, five years later and the bike is basically the same. Yes, it got a few minor upgrades in 2009, but hardly enough to call it a major revamp. Honestly, we’re not complaining too much. The era of the constant updates kept us on our heels trying to stay current on all the changes. And really, the Daytona 675 is a damn good motorcycle.

But there’s always room for improvement. Enter the 2011 Triumph Daytona 675R.

Triumph brought at EICMA Show the 2011 Daytona 675 R. Starting with a standard Dayton 675, Triumph engineers worked in conjunction with Swedish suspension specialists Ohlins to create a machine that would really be appreciated on the circuit by expert riders.

Ohlins contributed its revolutionary 43 mm NIX30 forks usually only found on the racetrack and ultra-exotic Italian machines ans its MotoGT developed TTX36 rear suspension unit, while radially-mounted monoblock calipers and radial master cylinder from Italian specialist Brembo were specified to ensure Dayton 675R also has class-leading stopping power.

The Daytona 675R also gets: a standard lift quickshifter and a host of carbon fiber bodywork, including hugger, silencer heat shield ad front mudguard.

Mechanically the Daytona 675R is identical to the standard Daytona 675, delivering 125 HP at 12,600 rpm with a class-leading 72 NM of torque. The sports bike also get sporty new graphics that include a unique Triumph tank script and a special color scheme: Crystal White bodywork is contrasted with a race style black belly pan and distinctive red subframe.

Triumph leaks new 2011 Speed Triple by mistake

By | October 1, 2010 | Events, Upcomings |

Triumph has accidentally unveiled its 2011 Speed Triple on the Triumph Accessories website ahead of the official launch next week.

There is no official information about the machine but from the pictures it’s clear the iconic naked bike has been given a complete makeover to include new lights, new lighter cast alloy chassis, new wheels, swingarm and clocks.

Even the 1050cc inline three-cylinder engine has been given a performance boost, too, according to American certification papers recently filed.

We also know the new bike has shed more than 5kg from its overall weight – much of which comes from the new cast alloy chassis.

MCN managed to speak to one insider who did not want to be named who has ridden the new bike. Obviously he had a pro-Triumph slant but was glowing about the riding impressions. He said: “They’ve made it feel like a big Street Triple. It’s as flickable as the smaller bike but with considerably more power and it feels great to ride.”

MCN also understands the new bike’s price will be around £8500 OTR when it goes on sale early next year, only £300 more than the current model.
