Triumph is at the 2011 EICMA with the Daytona 675 for the year 2012, a model that - as expected - shows small but significant modifications. Aesthetically, the bike introduces black finishing for footpegs, discs, handlebars, under-seat panel, engine covers and belly-pan, plus a new font for the logos. The engine remains the same 675cc unit of the current model, delivering 123 hp at 12,600 rpm and 72Nm of peak torque.

Other technical highlights of the new Daytona 675 are the fully adjustable 41mm inverted front forks and rear monoshock that both benefit from sophisticated high and low speed damping control, radially mounted calipers Nissin monobloc and ultra-light 5-spoke wheels fitted with Pirelli Supercorsa SP tyres.

Triumph Daytona 675 m.y. 2012 boasts a dry weight of 162 kg that becomes 185 kg when fully fuelled) and can count on many accessories and optional extras such as Arrow slip-on silencer, quick-shifter, Öhlins rear suspension unit, several carbon fibre bits and racing kits to make them suitable for Supersport and Superstock championships. The bike will be available with Phantom Black and Diablo Red color schemes and, last but not least, will have the same price tag of the current model. Check out our pics from the Milan event.

The new 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 has been released and while at this stage, these are the only pics we’ve got, we can bring you the few technical updates this model presents. After the spy pics recently, we had expected a complete overhaul of the new Daytona 675 but it looks more like a basic restyling.

New colours are on offer: the Daytona 675 now comes in Phantom Black and Diablo Red with sports Triumph logo on the tank and Daytona and 675 decals. Under the fairing we get blacked-out parts already seen on the 675R. Other black tinted components feature on the footpegs, handlebars, and around the tail area. New details have been included on some of the engine components, including on the carter. The engine itself is the same three-cylinder 675cc, 12-valve unit with 125 hp and 72 Nm of torque. That means the 2012 Daytona 675 will still get that triple, raucous sound.

More technical components include the upside-down 41mm fork, adjustable rear shock to adapt to riding styles and road or track conditions, Nissin front radial disc brakes and five-spoke alloy wheels. Standard tyres available are a Pirelli Supercorsa SP set for a racing ride and to complement the lightweight Triumph.
