2011 Triumph Daytona 675, Specs, News, and Review...

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 Triumph 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 and finishing fourth in the 2010 Supersport World Championship in the hands of the ParkinGO BE1 Racing team fs Chaz Davies.

The latest specification Triumph Daytona 675 delivers 125PS at 12,600rpm with a class-leading 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 of Triumph Daytona 675 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 Triumph 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 Triumph 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 Triumph Daytona 675 fs outstanding chassis, the bike rolls out of the factory wearing Pirelli fs 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.

The Triumph Daytona 675 fs sleek and handsome lines are complemented by a range of classic single-tone colour schemes. The Phantom Black and Caspian Blue options are fitted with gold coloured wheels, while the new for 2011 Diablo Red comes with graphite coloured rims.

A full range of race inspired Triumph accessories are available for the Triumph Daytona 675, including carbon parts, Arrow slip on silencer, quickshifter and Ohlins rear suspension unit. A race kit is also available for competitors who wish to enter their Triumph Daytona 675 in supersport and superstock championships.
