2009 Triumph Daytona 675
 
Triumph’s award-winning Daytona 675 has been
revised and uprated 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 threecylinder 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 powerplant 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’
quickshifter 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 monoshock 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 SuperCorsa 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.
