Triumph’s Daytona 675 Triple

The Triumph’s new Daytona 675 Triple could be the most intereting new offering of 2006.  “it’s the epitome of what Triumph should stand for in a sports bike,” its’s also something most experts have been asking for from Triumph prior to the forgettable TT600 debut.  It might have seemed silly in the past to try and compete directly with the might of the big Japanese companies, and for the company it seems equally silly today. Probably a reason that with the three-cylinder 675cc Daytona, Triumph is now not constrained by arbitrary displacement limits and is offering a machine that simply can’t be compared to anything else.  The Triple in the new Daytona shows a modern, clean-sheet design, with internal oil and water pumps for a less busy engine design and appearance. Triumph engineers worked bard to make the power plant as compact as possible.  In terms of power, 675 Triple produces 125PS at 12,500rpm. But the real beauty of this Triple is its torque production. With a claimed 60Nm at just 40000rpm and 72Nm at 11,750rpm, this new Daytona is going to redefine what a middleweight’s power band feels like.
