INCOMPARABLE
As the first three-cylinder super sports middleweight,
the Daytona 675 has become a force to be reckoned
with in the most hotly contested arena in motorcycling.
The 675 has gone from strength to strength, having
won countless comparison tests and proudly wearing
the crown as King of the Supersports bikes in both
the Supertest and Masterbike international multi-magazine
tests for two years running.
The gorgeous Daytona 675 is an exciting bike that
owners will never tire of riding. The 675cc, liquid-cooled,
three cylinder, 12-valve power unit is extremely compact,
featuring a Keihin fuel injection system and a stacked
six-speed close ratio gearbox. Peak power of 125PS
(123bhp) is delivered at 12,500rpm, with 72Nm (53ft.lbf)
torque at 11,750rpm.
The standard exhaust features an efficient underseat
end-can and uses a secondary valve to boost low down
torque. The 675cc engine meets fully the stringent
Euro-3 emission regulations and, while the engine is
refined, the triple’s innate character remains
with typical Triumph toughness engineered all the way
through.
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. Rake is set at 23.9°, trail
at 89.1mm with a wheelbase of 1,395mm. Dry weight is
165kg (363lbs).
Top quality, fully adjustable Kayaba 41mm upside down
forks and a fully adjustable piggyback reservoir rear
shock take care of the suspension. The sports focused
riding position of the Daytona 675 comprises of a firmly
padded narrow seat for maximum feedback, low set clip-on
handlebars and high rearset footpegs.
A radial master cylinder and twin radial four-piston
calipers work on the front floating 308mm discs, matched
by a 220mm rear disc and single piston caliper. The
wheels are a lightweight five-spoke design with dimensions
of 17 x 3.5in (front) and 17 x 5.5in (rear) and they
wear the super sticky Pirelli Super Corsa road/track
compound tyres. Front tyre size is 120/70 ZR17, the
rear is 180/55 ZR17.
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.
A programmable gear change indicator illuminates seven
LEDs to let you know the perfect point at which to
change up, for optimum performance: You can program
in both the engine speed and the illumination sequence.
The LCD panel also tells you which gear you are in
at all times.
The stylish twin projector beam front headlights have
been updated for 2008 and now use new-style lenses
in the projectors, changing the light distribution
to give an excellent spread of light. Seat height is
825mm, fuel capacity is 17.4 litres (3.8 gal).
Colour options for the Daytona 675 are Jet Black and
Neon Blue, both new for 2008, which arrive alongside
the popular Tornado Red option. Also new for 2008 are
the bigger, bolder decals adorning the bodywork. A
full range of official Triumph accessories are available
for the Daytona 675, including a carbon fibre front
mudguard, infills, heel guards and a silencer cover.
A free flowing Triumph exhaust can is also available
(for circuit use only) and Arrow, the racing specialists,
have produced a full Titanium system (available through
Triumph dealers) that saves over 6kg in weight and
adds 5PS, again for circuit use only.
The Daytona 675 has taken the motorcycling world by
storm since its launch, redrawing the super sports
middleweight map thanks to its exciting, powerful engine
and intuitive, razor sharp chassis. Sitting firmly
within a class of one, the 675 delivers incredible
performance and has truly earned the praise heaped
on it by some of the toughest critics in the motorcycle
press.
The Daytona 675. Incomparable.
