New Delhi,
2nd December ’2016: 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 2016 that took place at the Buddh International
Circuit in Greater Noida between 18th to 20th November 2016.
This is the second 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 of the fast paced, exciting second race race
emerged as Mr Deepak Ravi Kumar, Mr. Vijay
Singh as runner up and Mr. Kulwant
Singh as the second runner up. The overall 600cc championship went to Mr. Deepak Ravi Kumar.
Faster, better handling, easier to ride and with an
even angrier engine note, the Daytona 675R takes Triumph’s super sport weapon
to another level. Launched alongside the standard Daytona 675, it was the first
major update since the 675’s release in 2006. Every inch of the machine is
different. A new short-stroke engine revs harder and moving the exhaust can
from under the seat has improved agility and handling. It’s an epic machine. More
power, lighter weight, and easier to ride, our engineer’s 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.
The Triumph Daytona 675’s inline triple is tuned for
race –winning peak power and torque of 118.5 PS at 12,305 rpm and 70.2 Nm at
9,900 rpm. Repeatedly tested and developed, the Daytona 675s suspension, frame,
geometry, weight balance, braking power and steering response are honed to a
finely- tuned point of perfection, working in total harmony with the engine to
give complete control and confidence under all riding conditions. Add Brembo brakes, a quickshifter, carbon
trim and some subtle styling details and you know you’re riding a true
thoroughbred motorcycle.
Triumph Daytona was one of the most awarded
motorcycles in the super sports 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.’
Speaking on the occasion, Vimal Sumbly, MD, Triumph Motorcycles India, said, ‘It is a thrill to see our enthusiastic
customers take part in this championship with such overwhelming passion for
their motorcycles. Our Supersports Daytonas have been making waves with its
outstanding features and riding experience setting exceptional standards in the
segment. This is a moment of great value and prestige for Triumph Motorcycles
in India and we stand here in full support of the racers.’
