The 'Daytona' name was derived from American rider Buddy Elmore's win at the 1966 Daytona 200 race held at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. He achieved an average speed of 96.6 mph on a 'works special' Triumph Tiger 100. The 500 cc Triumph Tiger 100 Daytona (T100T) was developed by Triumph's Chief Engineer and designer Doug Hele and launched as a production motorcycle the following year. Based on the setup developed for the 1966 Daytona races, the -T100T was fitted with a new cylinder head and twin Amal Monobloc carburetors. The later model Daytona’s were further upgraded with special E3134 race profile cams for both inlet and exhaust and strengthened followers, valve guides, and performance connecting rods. _While the Triumph650 -Bonneville and new 650 Tiger- models received a new oil in frame and dramatically changed geometry for 1971, the Daytona kept the traditional unit era frame, which kept the frame and seat height of the previous model years. ___© Copyright 2018, aspreycollection.com, All rights reserved | Contact Webmaster | Site Map | Links |___________________________________________
