The Daytona 675R is Triumph's attempt to combine sporty character with a relaxed riding experience. This sportsbike that claims a serene character is a part of Triumph's lineup for the Indian market.

Power to the Daytona comes from a liquid-cooled, 12 valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder engine with a cubic capacity of 675cc. It delivers maximum power of 128PS at 12500rpm and 75Nm of peak torque at 11900 rpm. The front and rear Ohlins suspension setup is fully adjustable. They also have separate low- and high-speed compression damping adjustment. The Daytona 675R wears Pirelli Dragon SuperCorsa tyres. The frame is made from eight castings, to ensure fewer welds and a lighter construction with no loss of strength or stiffness. Braking duties are taken care of by Brembo calipers on the front and at the rear. The handlebar is slightly raised and the seat is lowered a bit to improve ride stance. The 675R also gets a quickshifter gearbox.

On the technological front, the Daytona gets switchable ABS with a track mode. The track mode gives late intervention, minimised rear wheel lift control and the allows sliding of the rear wheel on the entry into corners. It also gets a slipper clutch, a lap timer, two trip computers, gear change indicators, shift lights,  clock, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, immobiliser and removable numberplate and indicators.
