Overview[edit | edit source]
Triumph Daytona T100T
Though not as fast as the Norton
500 Dominator, the unit construction Tiger was nevertheless a very reliable
and popular bike. The engine was much smoother then its namesake predecessor
the pre-unit Tiger 100. The air cooled twin cylinder 490 cc engine produced
a healthy 41 bhp @ 7400 rpm. It was produced between 1967 and 1974. The
Daytona was named after the famous US track after Buddy Elmore won in 1966
at an average speed of 96.6 mph on a pre-production bike based on the Tiger
100A.
Later model Daytona was upgraded with the special camshaft E3134 for both inlet and exhaust. In the final days of production the Daytona was given a disk brake to stir consumer interest but industrial action led to Triumphs closure.
