Triumph has today finally confirmed three new 2006 models. The Daytona 675, Scrambler and Rocket III classic. The new Daytona 675 gets a brand new triple engine and that is a world first midrange triple. Triumph claims the new triple has got a very strong bottom end linked to a heavy mid range punch with good power at peak as well. Triumph says in their press release: “The strong, torquey three-cylinder, 12-valve unit is extremely compact and narrow, contributing to the overall slimness of the bike, and features a stacked, close ratio, six-speed gearbox, Keihin closed-loop fuel-injection system and a free-flowing exhaust with an underseat silencer.” The engine looks to be tilted about 40 degrees forward with a brand new aluminium cast frame that wraps over the motor. This has allowed Triumph designers to use an unusually slim design along with the narrow new triple. Each new and compact cylinder is of 225cc’s. The new USD fork and rear mono-shock are fully adjustable. Daytona 675 triple gets the same radial callipers as the 2005 Speed Triple.
Endvidere siges det at den vil få 123 hk ved 12500 rpm og moment på 7,3 Kgm ved 11750 rpm. Men den får 70% af momentet allerede ved 3000 rpm. Det bliver en god motor. Vægten ligger på 165 kg og det er godt. Den har ny ramme og forgaffel. Ophænget til bagsvingen kan justeres. Hvis den får lige så godt chassis (eller bedre) end den gamle Daytona 600/650 så er det en super cykel.
