Segment: Sport / Super Sport
Production years: 2000, 2001
In 2000, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Daytona 955i, a sports motorcycle made by Triumph from 1997. The bike was in its fourth year of production and featured only minor technical modifications.
In 2000, the only modification brought to the table was a more compact and advanced Sagem MC1000 engine management system with two plugs, instead of the original MC2000 that featured only one plug.
In the aesthetic department, the machine had standard features, such as a full bodywork with a twin headlight system, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with an optional passenger seat cover, a three-into-one exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
In the performance department, the 2000 Triumph Daytona 955i had its soul brought to life by a 995cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 130 hp at 9,900 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 7,600 rpm.
The engine was tied to a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and a final X-ring chain drive, which spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 270 kph (167 mph).
From top speed to a complete stop, the bike relied on two 320 mm floating discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power.
