TRIUMPH Daytona 955i (1999-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Daytona was a sports bike made by the British company from 1997 to 2006. Despite its name, the bike packed a 995cc three-cylinder engine and was renamed in 1999 as the Triumph Daytona 995i, indicating engine displacement and fueling.

In 1999, the British maker released the Triumph Daytona 955i, a sports machine that debuted in 1997. It received several modifications, including new throttle bodies, injectors, fuel rail, and a new frame.

The bike was built on a tubular aluminum frame, using the powerplant as a stressed member. On the front, it packed a 45 mm cartridge-type adjustable telescopic fork and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.

The bike's wheels were equipped with two 320 mm floating discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing excellent braking performance.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 1999 Triumph Daytona 955i packed a 955cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection system in charge, delivering 130 hp at 9,900 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 7,600 rpm.

The engine power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch linked to the rear wheel through a final O-ring chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 270 kph (167 mph).
