The bike was built around a tubular aluminum alloy frame with a 45 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rearm, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing solid stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 1997 Triumph Daytona 995i had installed underneath its dress a 995cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system in charge, boasting 129 hp at 9,900 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 7,600 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and a final X-ring chain drive that spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 270 kph (168 mph).
