The Daytona 955i has proved, over the years and miles, that balance is everything. With large amounts of horsepower comes the need for finesse. And while achieving true balance for a sports machine is no easy task, the Daytona 955i excels because it’s been designed, from its inception, as a real world performance motorcycle. It provides exactly the right blend of sporting ability matched to practicality and, while supremely fast, it’s also extremely well mannered, nimble and agile yet roomy and comfortable.

At the Daytona’s heart beats a highly-evolved, fuel-injected 955 cc three-cylinder engine that provides a heady peak power output of 147 bHP, with a great spread of power throughout the rev-range. Peak torque of 74 lbs. ft. is delivered at 8,200 rpm and instant drive in any of the Daytona’s six gears is the reward of the three-cylinder engine layout.

The Daytona’s chassis, likewise, provides the perfect blend of stability and responsiveness. The aluminum frame is massively strong as are the fully adjustable 45 mm telescopic forks. Also fully adjustable is the rear monoshock, which suspends the elegant single-sided swingarm. As befits such a powerful machine tire sizes are 120/70 ZR17 front and 190/50 ZR17 rear, making use of the very best sports rubber. Twin four-piston calipers stop the front wheel via 320 mm floating discs and a single twin-piston caliper grips the rear 220 mm disc. Braking performance, as you’d expect, is phenomenal.

Color options are Scorched Yellow or Jet Black. A range of Triumph accessories to further sharpen the Daytona’s focus are available, including a high-level oval carbon can and re-mapped fueling for the EFI (for off road use only). Other items – such as custom-fit luggage – extend the Daytona’s range as a long-distance real-world sports bike.
