› TRIUMPH DAYTONA 955i 2000

Les nouveautés 2000 :

- 15mm shorter wheelbase : The 15mm shorter wheelbase has been achieved by modifying the swingarm, a move that has given the Daytona even more flickable steering and a faster rate of turn. The bike's excellent straight-line stability has not suffered.
- Silver coloured wheels : The new silver finish on the wheels matches that used on the frame, improving the bike's appearance and visual integrity.
- Round section, brushed finish silencer : The new round-section silencer has a less bulky appearance, although performance is unaffected, and shows off the impressive rear wheel more effectively.
- Revised graphics : The 2000 graphics are designed to underline the Daytona's supersports purpose by being more aggressive and dynamic.
- Aluminium silver colour option : The Daytona is available for the first time in a sporty aluminium silver colour.
- Revised gearchange mechanism : The revised gearchange mechanism provides slicker, more positive gearshifts.
- Second generation ECM unit : The new engine management control unit (ECM) performs identical functions to the previous one but is smaller and lighter.

En 2001 :
Quelques pilotes de motos sportives sont difficiles à satisfaire. Offrez-leur des performances étourdissantes, une excellente maniabilité, des freins puissants... ils veulent plus.
Ce petit plus de rareté, d'originalité, de caractère, appelez-le comme vous voulez, c'est ce qui transcende une excellente sportive.
Pour une machine aussi performante, la Daytona garde pourtant une étonnante polyvalence.
Son moteur à injection de 955cc offre une grande nervosité à tous les régimes. Son cadre tubulaire rigide en aluminium et sa suspension à réglage multiple allient agilité de conduite et impeccable stabilité.
Son ergonomie et son design ont été peaufinés pour offrir efficacité et qualité de contrôle dans toutes les situations.
Associez ces atouts aux qualités de finition et de détails Triumph, et vous obtiendrez "la supermoto" spécialement conçue pour les plus exigeants des pilotes.

Et en anglais pour 2000 :
The Daytona 955i was the first of a second generation of Hinckley Triumphs and moved away from the modular design concept machines that had re-established the company as a serious force in motorcycling. It illustrated Triumph's ability to compete at the highest, most competitive levels in a technically advanced market.
The 955i met all the requirements needed to carve a niche for itself in the hard fought big capacity sports bike category - an immensely powerful engine with a broad spread of torque, a chassis to satisfy even the hardest riders on the race track and brakes which matched ferocious stopping power with easy controllability. But importantly, with Triumph's focus on producing a machine designed for fast road use and not purely as a track-oriented machine, the 955i was able to offer its own particular qualities enhancing its real-world performance.
The 955i's appeal goes further, its three cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine having a unique character and soulful howl when being used hard which is a delightful background to the forceful acceleration.
The engine, designed at Triumph in collaboration with Lotus to optimise the port and combustion chamber shapes and cam profiles, is unchanged for 2000, as is the unique tubular aluminium perimeter frame, although a modified swingarm has allowed a 15mm reduction in the Daytona's wheelbase.
Visual enhancements include the new, round-section silencer with brushed metal finish, silver wheels and sportier, more aggressive graphics.
The 955i also features a second generation, more compact engine management unit (ECM).
