2011 EICMA: Triumph Daytona 675 m.y. 2012
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.

Video: Triumph Daytona 675 self-destructs
Crashing is part of motorcycle racing and putting back together a crashed racing bike is part of a pit crews’ job, but what do you when this happens?
Check out how this Daytona 675 ended up, after what looked like a very simple crash during one of the British Superbikes Triumph Triple Challenge rounds.
It really gives the term binning it a whole new meaning, doesn’t it?
2012 Triumph Daytona 675
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.

New 2012 Triumph Daytona 675?
A new Triumph Daytona 675 could be in the works for 2012, with MCN claiming this is the first spy pic of the new model. It doesn’t show us much as they promise more detailed shots in their print version, but what we do get is a central running light and funny little mirrors in alloy. The other pictures of the possible 2012 Daytona 675 apparently show new exhaust, updated style and overall design changes across the board.
That would suggest that the new Triumph Daytona 675 is not just a facelift, but a new generation which MCN describes as a “comprehensive overhaul”. The pics were taken somewhere in the vicinity of Triumph’s Hinckley factory and if this is a production-ready new Daytona, we wonder if we won’t be seeing it at the 2011 EICMA….

Triumph Daytona 675R pics
The Triumph Daytona 675R has also been leaked before its 2010 EICMA presentation, making us think the guys at Motorinfo.hu got their hands on something no-one else did. The ‘R’ version is the hotted-up sports version of the Daytona 675 and looking at it in these pics, it could fast be on our wish list. In any case, we’ll definitely be checking it out at the EICMA show.
The Triumph Daytona 675R has a new gold-coloured Ohlins front fork which pairs with some impressive Brembo radial caliper brakes. The rear shock is Ohlins as well, and we get a red frame marking this as the ‘R’ version. Overall, it’s an aggressive new look with carbon fibre bits and a new colour scheme.
We could happily satisfy ourselves with the 126 hp and the snazzy new look, done elegantly in a sports style without the usual cheap sticker job that so often happens. Exhaust and cooling system look the same but come EICMA, we’ll have all the official technical details from Triumph itself.
2011 Triumph range video with peek at Daytona 675R
Whoever’s been doing Triumph’s video marketing campaign of late has created a neat series of videos, bits of which we can see in the video above which features all the 2011 Triumph model line-up. We’re still waiting on all the details of the new Speed Triple and especially the new Triumph Tiger 800 and 800XC models, but we can also enjoy some of the retro models from Triumph for the coming year as well as its cruiser touring models.
The video also seems to feature the new Triumph Daytona 675R. It should prove to a similar performance-oriented version of the standard Daytona 675, much like the Speed Triple R, with a more aggressive design and higher performance suspension and brakes. After the jump is another Triumph Tiger teaser video with the low-down on the accessories. While we’ve already seen a fair bit of this bike, it will be officially unveiled at the 2010 EICMA show next month where hopefully we will finally get a look at the whole thing, in one go.
