TRIUMPH Daytona T100T (1967-1974) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Tiger Daytona, also known as the T100T, was a motorcycle manufactured by Triumph from 1967 to 1974. The bike's name was derived from the American rider Buddy Elmore's 1996 Daytona 200 race win. The race was held at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The bike was based on the setup developed for the 1966 Daytona races, being fitted with a new cylinder head and two Amal Monobloc carburetors. Later models were upgraded with special race profile cams for intake and exhausts, valve guides, and performance connecting rods.

In the visual department, the bike featured a simple design and was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight at the front, a one-piece dual seat, a dual-exhaust system, a side stand, and wire-poke wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 1967 Triumph Daytona T100T had installed a 490cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine managed by two Amal carburetors, delivering an output power of 41 hp with a maximum peak force at 7,400 rpm.

The bike packed a telescopic fork with a drum braking unit on the front and side-mounted shock absorbers with a drum unit on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance, handling, and stopping power.

The bike was slower than the Norton 500 Dominator but instead was a very popular and reliable machine.
