Triumph Motorcycles’ at JK Tyre Racing Championship 2015

Triumph Motorcycles’ Daytona 675 and Daytona 675R SuperSports Motorcycles were seen in the 600+ category race for two wheelers at the JK Tyre Racing Championship 2015 that took place at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida between 16 – 18 October, 2015. This is the first time that Triumph Motorcycles has participated in the championship in the two-wheeler segment and all the participants sported their action packed Daytonas. The top 3 winners in the 600 cc category of the fast paced, exciting race emerged as Mr. Vijay Singh, Mr. Gurvinder Singh and Mr. Archit Kumar. all of them were on Daytona 675.

Apex after apex the new Daytona 675 and the 675R inspires complete confidence.  More power, lighter weight, and easier to ride, our engineers ambition was simple: to create the most perfectly balanced motorcycle.  An equal blend of torque, responsiveness, agility, poise and purpose. The result is a bike with class-defining power, performance and handling. A bike that will inspire total confidence. And looks every bit as good. The engine is brand new featuring twin injectors per cylinder, titanium valves, a 14,400 red line, and a spine tingling induction roar.  It's faster on the track, better on the road and even more satisfying to own.

The Daytona is powered by a 3-cylinder liquid-cooled, 12-valve, DOHC, in-line 675cc engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Both front and rear KYB suspension are fully adjustable and come with low- and high-speed compression damping adjustment, making the Daytona as forgiving on the road as it is focused on the track. The 675cc supersports gets lighter wheels that make it easier to turn in at corners. Add Brembo brakes, a quickshifter, carbon trim and some subtle styling details and you know you’re riding a true thoroughbred motorcycle.

Triumph Daytona is also one of the most awarded motorcycles in the supersports segment here in India. The Daytona 675R has been the Bike of choice for the Import Bike of the Year 2015 award at the Bloomberg TV Autocar India Awards; Zee TV Car & Bike India Award in the Reader’s choice category and a twin win at the Top Gear Award 2015  - ‘Bike of the year’ and ‘Sports Bike of the Year.’
