TRIUMPH Daytona 955i Centennial Edition (2002) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2002, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Daytona 995i Centennial Edition, a limited edition machine that packed several notable features and differences from the standard Daytona.

Some notable features included carbon fiber infill panels between the fuel tank and front and rear fairings, a single-sided swingarm, and Aston British Racing Green paint offered only on the 2002 model.

In the visual department, the Centennial Edition version was similar to the standard model, packing a full fairing with a medium windscreen, a single seat with passenger lumbar support, a pillion seat cover, a three-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right side, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike was built around a tubular aluminum frame with a 45 mm fully adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.

In the performance department, the 2002 Triumph Daytona 995i Centennial Edition had installed underneath its full fairing a 955cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, delivering 149 hp at 10,700 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 8,200 rpm.

The engine power was transferred to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and a final X-ring chain drive, pushing the machine to a top speed of 263 kph (164 mph).
