2012 Triumph Daytona 675 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 R sport motorcycle, Triumph pairs a 675 cc (41.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 125 HP (91.2 kW) at 12,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 72 Nm (53.1 lb-ft) at 11,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 185.2 HP per liter and a 900 rpm working window between peak torque (11,700 rpm) and peak power (12,600 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Daytona 675 R measures 185 kg (408 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.68 HP/kg (1.48 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,395 mm (54.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.4-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.11 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 341 km (212 miles) between fill-ups.
