IT’S HERE Triumph’s 765 Moto2 bike for the road is GO

It's a road bike. It's based on the racebike. It'll go like a rocket (it's not the Rocket though...).

We’ve been telling you there was a new Daytona 765 on the way from Triumph ever since the British brand first confirmed its link-up with Moto2 back in 2017. And it’s finally here.

The Daytona’s got a rich history of racing success, with the previous generation 675cc triple taking wins right across the world. It claimed victory at the Isle of Man TT, the British, German, French and World SuperSports championships, and even at the Daytona 200. And it’s still going strong, with Peter Hickman taking the Supersport Race 2 win at this year’s Isle of Man TT. But with Triumph becoming the official engine supplier to the Moto2 World Championship, it was only a matter of time before the next generation Daytona went into production.

The headline news is the Daytona’s Moto2-derived 765cc engine. It kicks out 128bhp of peak power at 12,250rpm and 59lb-ft of peak torque at 9,750rpm. That makes it Triumph’s highest powered production 765cc engine ever.

And it’s not just the engine that’s new and improved. The new Daytona’s lighter than the previous generation machine, and the new bike’s fitted with some serious kit, including new top-spec Brembo Stylema brakes, fully adjustable race-proven Ohlins suspension and Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres. It’s got some top tech built in, too. There’s a full-colour TFT dash with an official Moto2 start-up screen, five riding modes including a specific Track mode, and Triumph’s own Shift Assist up and down quickshifter.

If you want to get your hands on the first ever Moto2-licensed road bike you’ll need to act fast – Triumph’s only producing a limited run of 765 motorcycles for the US and Canada, and 765 for Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. Pricing has been confirmed at £15,765 – which pitches the new Daytona just above the Speed Triple RS.
