Triumph’s class-leading Triumph Daytona 675 has set another landmark by becoming the first
motorcycle to win the prestigious Supertest trophy three years in a row.
The British-built three-cylinder machine saw off competition from its supersport-class rivals at
the Almeria circuit in southern Spain. The Triumph set faster lap times than the four-cylinder
machines from the Japanese manufacturers which, combined with the testers’ favourable
comments, gave the Daytona 675 a clear advantage.
Supertest is an annual event organised by 15 leading motorcycle magazines in the world with
representation from Europe, Asia and the Americas. Each publication sends a test rider to the
circuit, with each bike being scored on its best lap times and rider feedback. The Triumph
remains unbeaten in the competition, having won each year since its introduction for the
2006 model year.
“Winning the title three years in a row is quite an achievement,” commented Triumph’s
Commercial Director Tue Mantoni. “Our bike has proven itself against two generations of
Japanese competition and is a great testament to our design and engineering teams. Our
philosophy is to build motorcycles that are class leading, while remaining distinctively
Triumph. Strong sales figures and winning comparison tests like Supertest are confirmation
that our bikes are striking the correct chord with riders, and continue to motivate us in
developing more new and exciting products for the coming years.”  Triumph Daytona 675 - Triple Supertest trophy on the run!
