Triumph's award-winning Daytona 675 has been revised and updated
for the 2009 season with a host of modifications to improve the
bike's already class-leading handling and performance.
The bike that caused such a stir when it became the first
three-cylinder machine to enter the supersport class now weighs in
at 3kg less and develops 3PS more power than its predecessor.
Triumph's R&D department has taken an evolutionary approach
with the 2009 Daytona, using experience gained from racing in the
2008 Supersport World Championship to develop the new machine. The
latest specification 675cc three cylinder engine utilises a 450rpm
higher rev limit than the 2008 model, while the hydraulic cam chain
tensioner and higher ratio first gear have jumped straight from the
race kit to become standard equipment for the road. The new exhaust
system, 2kg lighter than on previous models, recalibrated fuel
injection and revised cylinder head, with new valves and a modified
combustion chamber, contribute to a power plant pumping out 128PS
at 12,600rpm and revving to a 13,950rpm redline. A new magnesium
cam cover also contributes to the weight-saving and, as a further
benefit to racers and track day enthusiasts, Triumph will be
offering a 'plug and play' quick shifter as part of its genuine
accessories range.
As could be expected from a bike with such sporting aspirations,
the Daytona 675 comes equipped with top-of-the-line suspension and
brakes. The fully-adjustable 41mm upside down forks and rear mono
shock unit both benefit from highly sophisticated high and low
speed damping control, allowing riders to set their Daytona up with
maximum accuracy. New radial-mount Nissin monobloc front brakes
give even greater levels of stopping power and rider feedback, and
new wheels give significant savings in unsprung weight and help the
bike change direction more easily. The latest Pirelli Super Corsa
SP tyres have been specified for their outstanding levels of both
grip and feedback.
It's not just the performance that's been enhanced - the 2009
Daytona 675 has also been restyled, with a new cockpit, headlamp
and screen. It comes in two colour options, Jet Black and Tornado
Red, and will come with a full range of official accessories. The
Triumph race kit means the Daytona 675 will be competitive on the
track at all levels, from club to world championship.
The price of the updated Daytona will be $14890.00 Plus
