Triumph Daytona

Triumph telah mengumumkan penambahan terbaru dalam rangkaian mereka dengan Daytona 660 yang baharu.

Daytona 660 menggunakan enjin 660cc yang diperbaharui dan kini mempunyai 95PS pada 11,250rpm dan tork sebanyak 69Nm pada 12,650rpm, dan menawarkan penghantaran kuasa yang lancar, responsif, dan linear di seluruh spektrum rpm.

Dengan peningkatan kuasa kuda sebanyak 17% dan peningkatan tork sebanyak 9% berbanding rakan sekelasnya iaitu Triumph Trident, Daytona 660 yang baharu ini juga dilengkapi dengan sistem ekzos baharu yang menampilkan 3 saluran ke 1.

Showa upside-down big piston 41mm forks, Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU, dan brek empat piston radial dengan disc 310mm berkembar mengukuhkan prestasi Daytona 660.

Triumph yang baharu ini juga menampilkan ketinggian tempat duduk 810mm dan kedudukan bar dan footpeg yang selari. Teknologi yang menumpukan kepada pengendali termasuk tiga mod pemanduan (Sport, Street, dan Rain) yang mengoptimumkan respons throttle dan traction control.

Instrumen berfungsi merangkumi skrin TFT warna yang disatukan ke dalam paparan LCD putih atas hitam. Padu dan dengan reka bentuk yang ringkas, semua maklumat pengendali jelas dipaparkan dan mudah dibaca dalam pelbagai keadaan cahaya.

Unit kemas ini serasi dengan Sistem Sambungan My Triumph yang membolehkan navigasi, interaksi telefon, dan muzik. Semua fungsi dipaparkan dengan jelas di skrin TFT dan dikawal melalui suis-gear untuk kemudahan penggunaan.

Lampu hadapan LED berkembar dan bodywork minimal menekankan profil atletik, berakhir dengan lampu belakang LED yang berkontur.

Triumph Daytona 660 mempunyai jarak servis 16,000km dan jaminan kilometer tanpa had selama dua tahun. Harga Daytona 660 pula belum didedahkan lagi.

After years of waiting and months of teasing, Triumph has finally unveiled the all-new Daytona 660.

The new Daytona is set to carry on the character of its predecessor and promises an exhilarating sports performance experience coupled with top-notch quality, capability, and specifications, the new Daytona 660 also showcases a significant evolution of Triumph’s distinctive 660cc triple engine.

 

The revamped engine now boasts 95PS peak power at 11,250rpm and 69Nm of peak torque at 12,650rpm, offering a seamless, responsive, and linear delivery of power across the entire spectrum.

With a 17% increase in power and a 9% boost in torque compared to its counterpart, the Trident (which also uses the same engine), the Daytona 660 comes equipped with a fresh exhaust system featuring 3 into 1 headers and a compact underslung exhaust, producing a distinctive and unmistakable sports soundtrack.

The new bike’s chassis is described as well-balanced, combined with agile sports handling, and is said to ensure an unmistakable riding experience. Showa upside-down big piston 41mm forks, Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU, and radial four-piston brakes with twin 310mm discs and braided brake lines enhance the bike’s performance. Michelin’s new Power 6 tires further contribute to the exceptional ride quality.

Boasting a rider-friendly design, the Daytona 660 features a 810mm seat height, narrow stand-over, and optimized bar and footpeg positions. Rider-focused technology includes three riding modes (Sport, Road, and Rain) that optimize throttle response and traction control settings, along with an Emergency Deceleration Warning system that activates hazard lights during heavy braking.

The bike’s multi-functional instruments include a color TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display, compatible with the My Triumph Connectivity System. This system enables turn-by-turn navigation, phone interaction, and music control, all easily accessible through the switchgear for added convenience while riding.

The Daytona’s iconic design DNA receives a fresh interpretation with a bold and aggressive stance, highlighted by distinctive twin LED headlights and minimal bodywork. The three available color options feature a striking ‘660’ race-inspired graphic, adding to the bike’s allure.

As expected from Triumph, the Daytona 660 offers more than 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories, allowing riders to tailor their bike for enhanced performance, comfort, style, and practicality.

With a 16,000-km service interval, a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, and strong residual values, Triumph ensures a competitive cost of ownership.

Speaking of cost, there is no word on pricing as yet.

Triumph dikatakan sudah bersedia untuk mendedahkan model motosikal lembut sportsbike Daytona 660 pada hari Selasa, 9 Januari.

Pendedahan ini datang melalui gambar teaser di media sosial mereka, menampilkan siluet sportsbike yang ramping dengan lampu hadapan LED berganda.

Walaupun tiada pengesahan rasmi berkenaan model baru ini, gambar-gambar teaser menggambarkan model Daytona yang berdasarkan platform Trident 660 dan Tiger Sport 660 yang sedia ada, menggunakan enjin tiga-silinder 660cc yang sama. Anggapan ini disokong lebih lanjut dengan laman web Triumph yang menonjolkan ‘660’ sebagai latar belakang.

Berbeza dengan pendahulunya, Daytona ini dijangka menawarkan posisi duduk yang lebih selesa berbanding yang lain di dunia sportsbike, direka untuk pemanduan harian dan akan bersaing dengan jentera seperti Honda CBR650R, Yamaha R7, dan Suzuki GSX-8R parallel twin terkini.

Pandangan lebih dekat pada gambar-gambar dari bulan Ogos menunjukkan bahawa prototaip ini mempunyai penutup enjin sebelah kiri yang sama, bersama kotak ekzos yang sepadan, lengkungan lengan ayun, dan bahagian hadapan yang sepadan.

Oleh itu, dijangkakan Daytona 660 akan dikuasakan oleh enjin tiga-silinder 660cc yang sama dengan model Trident, menghasilkan kira-kira 80bhp. Reka bentuknya kemungkinan akan menampilkan kerja badan baru, termasuk penutup penuh yang mengingatkan kepada Daytona 675 yang kini lama.

Selain itu, jangkakan penutup sisi dan unit tempat duduk yang baru, serta tangki yang direka semula untuk menampung kunci stereng, mengelakkan gangguan dengan reka bentuk yang lebih besar dari pada Trident.

Dengan asas Trident 660-nya, Daytona baru dijangkakan akan berkongsi beberapa elektronik asasnya, seperti dua mod pemandu dan kawalan traksi yang boleh ditukar. Penyusunan suspensi kemungkinan akan termasuk garpu terbalik Showa 41mm yang tidak boleh diselaraskan dan monoshock belakang yang boleh diselaraskan preload, disokong oleh brek dua piston kembar Nissin.

Triumph tidak dedahkan butiran lanjut, meningkatkan jangkaan untuk pendedahan pada bulan Januari.

Following the emergence of spyshots in August 2023, Triumph is said to be prepared to unveil the Daytona 660 sportsbike on Tuesday, January 9th.

The revelation came through a teaser image on social media, featuring a sleek sportsbike silhouette with dual LED headlights.

Although there’s no official confirmation regarding the new model, previous photographs circulating online seemed to depict a faired Daytona model based on the existing Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 platform, utilizing the same three-cylinder 660cc engine. This assumption is further supported by a Triumph website landing page prominently displaying ‘660’ in large font in the background.

Unlike its predecessors, this Daytona is expected to offer a more comfortable approach to the sportsbike scene, designed for everyday riding and likely to compete with machines such as Honda’s CBR650R, Yamaha’s R7, and Suzuki’s latest GSX-8R parallel twin.

The spyshots from August are said to have revealed the prototype with identical left-hand engine cover, along with a matching exhaust collector box, swingarm, and front end. It is also anticipated to house a 660cc triple engine, generating approximately 80bhp.

The design is likely to feature new bodywork, including full sports fairing reminiscent of the now-defunct Daytona 675. Additionally, expect new side panels and a seat unit, as well as a redesigned tank to accommodate the sportsbike’s steering lock, avoiding interference with the Trident’s more bulbous design.

Given its Trident 660 underpinnings, the new Daytona is expected to share some of its basic electronics, such as two rider modes and switchable traction control. The suspension setup is likely to include non-adjustable Showa 41mm inverted forks and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock, coupled with dual Nissin twin-piston brakes.

Triumph has remained tight-lipped about the details during the time the spy images were captured, heightening anticipation for the January reveal.

Digital designer Oberdan Bezzi sure thinks so, and this Triumph Trident 660 RR render of his gives us an idea how it should look like…

  • The Triumph Daytona Moto2 765 was unveiled at the British MotoGP over the weekend.

  • It is a tribute to Triumph’s role as the exclusive engine supplier in Moto2.

  • Only 1,530 will be built.

The Triumph Daytona Moto2 765 was unveiled at the British MotoGP over the weekend.

As the “Moto2” moniker suggests, the bike is reputed to carry some Moto2 components and technology. It is a tribute to Triumph’s role as the exclusive engine supplier to the championship.

The manufacturer will build only 765 units for the American market, while another 765 are allotted for the rest of the world; for a grand total of 1,530 units.

As we reported earlier, the Moto2 engine is based on the 765cc triple found in the Street Triple. It is then modified for racing, but most of the engine remains standard.

The Daytona Moto2 765 features new pistons, camshafts, titanium conrods, intake stacks and modified ports. Maximum revs go up by 600 RPM to 13,250 RPM. The pistons bump compression ratio to 12.9:1. Additionally, there are titanium intake valves and DLC-coated cylinders.

The revisions yield 128 hp at 12,250 RPM and 80 Nm torque. It may look like small gains over the stock Street Triple RS engine (121 hp, 77 Nm), but this Daytona should be much lower than the RS due to a carbon fibre bodywork.

It also features Ohlins NIX30 forks and TTX36 monoshock, Brembo Stylema brakes, race-style TFT screen.

The unveiling of the Daytona Moto2 765 is interesting because Triumph have been introducing limited-edition models then follow up with “regular” models thereafter. That could very well mean the volume production Daytona 765 is coming soon.

  • Triumph Daytona Moto2 765 Limited Edition is confirmed for 2020.

  • The engine is based on the Street Triple RS’s but upgraded for more power.

  • Triumph will only produce a very limited number.

At last! The new Triumph Daytona 765 is confirmed! Capitalizing on their role as sole engine supplier in Moto2, Triumph will build the Triumph Daytona Moto2 765 Limited Edition for 2020.

According to MCN.com, the bike will be available for Asia, Europe, the US and Canada. However, there are two versions: One for Asia and Europe, and another for the US and Canada. Triumph stated that there will be only 765 units available for each market.

The production number of each bike will be laser etched on the top triple clamp.

The engine Triumph supplies to Moto2 teams began life as the same powerplant in the Street Triple RS (765). The stock engine produces 121 hp, but it’s bumped up to more than 138 hp with just a small number of upgrades for Moto2. This street version, on the other hand, should be good for 130 to 135 hp.

Other Moto2-inspired goodies include the titanium Arrow exhaust which looks exactly like that used in the series; new TFT screen with Moto2 welcome message; five ride modes including track mode; and quickshifter.

The Triumph Daytona Moto2 765 Limited Edition will be officially unveiled at the British MotoGP round at Silverstone on 23rdAugust.

  • Gambar intipan sebuah motosikal prototaip Triumph Daytona 765 telah pun tersebar.
  • Ramai yang telah menantikan kemunculan Daytona baharu memandangkan pelibatan Triumph dalam Moto2.
  • Motosikal prototaip ini kelihatan sama seperti Daytona 765 yang sebelum ini, namun dengan enjin dan suspensi baharu.

  • A Triumph Daytona 765 prototype was undergoing tests.

  • Many had hoped Triumph would produce a new Daytona given their involvement in Moto2.

  • The prototype looks the same as the previous Daytona 675 but with a new engine and suspension.

This report and pictures originally appeared in MCN. Please click on this link https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/triumph-daytona-765/ for the full info and more pictures.

MCN spied a new Triumph Daytona 765 undergoing tests.

Although the supersport market isn’t as boisterous as it was, fans of the Triumph Daytona wept when the model’s production ended in 2016. The manufacturer then launched the Street Triple 765 line-up to replace the 675 version, but there was no Daytona.

However, hopes rose again when Triumph announced and later revealed their Moto2 engine based on the Street Triple’s. Many had thought this was the giveaway to seeing a new Daytona.

Triumph Moto2 Prototype

Yet, the factory neither confirmed nor denied if a new bike is on the way, despite Triumph’s Chief Product Officer saying that it’ll be foolish not to consider the possibility given their involvement in Moto2. The keyword however, is demand. Why produce something for which there are very limited buyers?

Until now.

According to MCN, these pictures were shot in Spain last week. Judging from the pictures, everything seems to look the same as the Daytona 675R, apart from the solo seat and lack of passenger footpegs.

On the other hand, the engine covers unmistakably belong to the 765cc engine. It would do the Daytona great service if they adopt some of the engine parts from the Moto2 engine, turning the bike into a racier model than the Street Triple.

We don’t see the instrument panel in these pictures, but MCN says it should be a TFT screen like the Street Triple RS’s. Six-axis IMU-based lean sensitive traction control and cornering ABS should also be in the offering.

As for the chassis, the front forks look like they’re Öhlins NIX30 forks, while the rear shock ought to be an Öhlins TTX. The front brake calipers are the latest Brembo Stylema units, like those fitted to the Ducati Panigale V4/V4 S.

When can we expect the new Triumph Daytona 765? Best guess would be at the end of this year, since the Euro5 regulations begin in 2020.

  • There was a time when manufacturers named their motorcycles after racetracks.

  • The names were as memorable as they were interesting.

  • Here’s the final part of this series, closing with a bike that’s currently in production.

We complained in Part 1 of this series about how boring new motorcycle names have become, but in Part 2 Ten Motorcycles Named after Racetracks, there is one current bike in production which is named so and thankfully, it goes as great as its name. Can you guess which one is it?

5. Moto Guzzi V50 Monza

Moto Guzzi was clearly in financial problems in 1973 when De Tomaso took over with the backing of the Italian government. The management decided that smaller, less expensive bikes was the solution, resulting in the 500cc V50 and 350cc V35 in 1976. They were less than popular, so Moto Guzzi created a more powerful version of the V50 called the Monza in 1980. V35 also went through a similar makeover and was named the Imola.

4. Yamaha RD400F Daytona Special

Named after the infamous Daytona track, the 1979 RD400F Daytona Special commemorated Yamaha’s successes at the track and also the last of street-legal two-strokes in America. When the RD350LC introduced, it was only sold in Europe but imported in the States as a competition-only motorcycle.

3. Triumph Daytona 500

When American racer Buddy Elmor won the 1966 Daytona 200 aboard a Triumph Tiger 100, it was the first victory at the track for Triumph. Triumph then launced a 500cc, twin-cylinder roadster called the Daytona to commemorate their feat (there was also a Tiger Daytona in 1967). Moving forward to the current Triumph Motorcycle Ltd era, the Daytona name was used specifically for the Hinckley-based manufacturer’s sportbikes. The Daytona lineup were universally praised for its performance and sublime handling until being phased out in 2017.

2. Moto Guzzi Le Mans

Moto Guzzi build the 850 Le Mans Mk I from the iconic 1971 750cc V7 Sport, which was the first production motorcycle to feature a five-speed gearbox and hit 200 km/h. Guzzi upped the displacement to 850cc, as well as adding new disc brakes. It was the world’s fastest and best handling motorcycle of its time. Guzzi called it the “Le Mans” after the infamous racetrack in France. The 1976 Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans Mk I is most collectible Italian motorcycle today (sorry, Ducati).

1. Triumph Thruxton/Thruxton R

In 1965, Triumph hand-built 52 bikes as homologation specials in order to contest in the Thruxton 500 mile (800 km) production endurance race. Many enthusiasts believe that it was this series of races that created the café racer era as standard production motorcycles were modified for extra performance.

In 2004, John Bloor’s Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. produced the new Thruxton 900 as the café racer of the new modern classic Bonneville lineup. In 2016, the Thruxton was revised and featured the new 1200cc liquid-cooled engine. A “hotter” R version was also added which featured Brembo brakes, Ohlins shocks and Showa BFF forks.

The result is the new Thruxton R is the best factory café racer in the market.
