News | April 13, 2011The 2011 model of the Triumph Daytona 675R just heated up the competition among middleweight sport motorcycles. This bike is powered by the Triple 675 engine.

This bike also uses the Ohlins fully adjustable shock TTX36, developed in conjunction with MotoGP over some years, which provides the greatest in racing technology. You can also make any adjustments needed on the shock side, however this won’t be necessary as the original set-up provided is quite perfect.
The front brakes of the new 2011 model of this bike have also been upgraded, receiving the Brembo radial mounted monoblock caliphers. The 308mm rotors however, have been carried over from the original base model, along with the braided steel lines. Apart from the Brembo and Ohlins hardware, the new Daytona 675R also boasts of the first ever factory enabled electronic quick shift.
The gearbox of the Daytona 675R has been slightly revised, including roller, instead of the plain bearings. The first gear and the second gear are also located closer to each other. This bike is available in a single Crystal White color option. The sub frame of the bike is a powder coated red with matching red pin striped wheels, all of which add to its racer bike appeal. For a more racy appearance, the belly pan features a black color, while both the generator and clutch covers have been restyled.
Some of the aesthetic changes to the bike include a front fender of carbon fiber, a heat shied which wraps around the silencer as well as a rear hugger. The new 2011 Triumph Daytona 675R is their premier sport bike. This bike is well geared for a successful future on the track.
2011 Triumph Daytona 675R is definitely a racier version of these series. This model has a lot of great features to offer. Weighing in at 407 pounds, this bike is quite light, making it easy to ride, while the price tag of $11,999 will also help it against its competitors.
