Triumph Daytona 675R

Ultimate trackday tool.

Improving on perfection. Specially developed suspension from Öhlins. Born from the highest levels of competition. Exquisitely made, fully-adjustable for you. Race inspired. Want more? Brembo monoblocs. Look great. Stunning stopping power. Quickshifter. Shaving tenths. Distinctive graphics, carbon parts. That engine. 675cc. 125PS. Class beating torque. The ultimate trackday tool.

New for 2011, Triumph presents the ultimate road and trackday bike: the Daytona 675R.
Taking the already sublime Daytona 675 as its base, Triumph�'s engineers worked in conjunction
with Swedish suspension specialists Ohlins to create a machine that would really be appreciated
on the circuit by expert riders.

Ohlins contributed its revolutionary 43mm NIX30 forks, usually only found on the racetrack
or ultra-exotic Italian machines, and its MotoGP developed TTX36 rear suspension unit, while
radially-mounted monoblock calipers and radial master cylinder from Italian specialist Brembo
were specified to ensure the Daytona 675R also has class-leading stopping power.

Further track-spec items included as standard on the Daytona 675R include a standard-fit
quickshifter and a host of carbon fibre bodywork, including hugger, silencer heat shield and
front mudguard. The Daytona 675R also utilizes the Daytona 675�fs comprehensive instrumentation,
which includes a lap timer and programmable gear change lights.

Mechanically the Daytona 675R is identical to the standard Daytona 675, delivering 125PS
at 12,600rpm with a class-leading 72Nm of torque making the Triumph engaging and flattering
to ride quickly.

Visually, the iconic gold Ohlins suspension units make the Daytona 675R stand out from the pack.

Sporty new graphics include a unique Triumph tank script, while the special colour scheme further
confirms the Daytona 675R�fs premium status. The sparkling Crystal White bodywork is contrasted
with a race style black belly pan and distinctive red subframe.

A range of official Triumph accessories are available for the Daytona 675R, including an Arrow
slip on silencer, race style CNC machined levers and single seat cowl.

MCN Review

Triumph has labeled the 675R as a track day weapon/fast road riding tool, and MCN can’t argue with this. The stiff Ohlins suspension and lithesome, agile nature of the 675R chassis gives the impression it is a sorted race bike. Couple this with impressive midrange from of the triple-cylinder engine and you have a bike that allows devastating corner speed at the track. Although for the road the suspension as standard is bloody hard and necessitates softening off. Simple touches of a red subframe, carbon front mudguard and fairing infill panels make the 675R special and instantly recognisable. Nice one, Triumph. Now can we have a 1000cc version, please.
Engine

It is the same powerplant as the standard Daytona 675. Forget about peak power – although 115bhp at the wheel is not to be sneezed at – it’s the legendary flat but fat torque curve coupled with a midrange horsepower that makes the Daytona a breeze to ride day-in, day out without working up a sweat.
If you want to rip it up then the 675R will easily pump your adrenaline – especially on a trackday – simply by working the throttle harder. Something done very easily because the fitment of a plug and play quickshifter means it’s a case of simply opening and closing the throttle and foot tapping the gear lever.

Ride and Handling

Again, exactly the same as the Daytona 675 and is pure supersport. The seat’s high and has low-set clip-on bars but isn’t uncomfortable, just intimidating at first. The ride is exemplary on track thanks to the Ohlins fully adjustable front forks and TTX36 rear shock. Both systems make the gap between road and track use easier to cross by being fully adjustable. Because of its track-bias, the firm set up can cause the bars to occasionally waggle. While this is not a problem for the steering damper to take control, it would have been good if Triumph had kitted the 675R with a fully adjustable unit to make the ‘R’ transformation complete.
