In 1995, the British motorcycle maker launched the Triumph Daytona 900 Super III, a sports motorcycle that debuted in 1993. The bike was derived from the Daytona 750 model and featured a larger engine with more power and torque.
The bike was in its third year of production and came with the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models, without any significant modifications. The same 885cc three-cylinder engine was used on the Trident and Trophy range.
Compared to the Daytona 750 model, the 900 Super III version had an edgier look, with standard features, such as a medium-sized windscreen, two round headlights, a full fairing, a single seat with lumbar support, a pillion seat cover, a three-into-two exhaust system, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.
As for power, the 1995 Triumph Daytona 900 Super III had installed underneath its fuel tank an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with three Mikuni carburetors in charge, boasting 114 hp at 9,500 rpm and 87 Nm (64 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
The bike's backbone was a twin-spar aluminum frame with a 43 mm fully adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.
As for the braking performance, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 310 mm discs with six-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
