Apple powered Triumph! June 2008
Triumph's 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 Japanese machines 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.
