Triumph Daytona 660 globally unveiled

Triumph will bring the motorcycle to the Indian market to take on the likes of the Yamaha R7 and the Kawasaki ZX-6R.

Triumph recently took the wraps off the Daytona 660.

The new fully-faired motorcycle is the third model in the brand's 660 lineup, following the Trident & Tiger Sport. Although a successor to the original Daytona 675, the new 660 model offers a more relaxed and comfortable riding position.

The 2024 Triumph Daytona 660 comes with clip-on handlebars, split seats, and slightly lower-positioned footpegs for a sporty yet comfortable riding posture. The Daytona 660 borrows the main frame, wheels and most other mechanical components from the Trident 660. However, the Daytona is 12 kg heavier than the Trident and also exclusively gets Triumph-branded radially-mounted calipers. The fully-faired motorcycle also has a 5 mm higher seat height than the Trident and comes shod with sportier Michelin Power 6 tyres.

Powering the motorcycle is the same 660cc triple-cylinder engine. On the Daytona, it is tuned to produce 95 BHP and 69 Nm - the most powerful state-of-tune compared to its siblings. The bike comes with a special 'Sport' riding mode, apart from Rain & Road. Bluetooth connectivity and bidirectional quickshifter are standard, while also being offered with a host of optional accessories.

Prices for the Triumph Daytona 660 start from 8,595 GBP (Rs 9.09 lakh), and sits above the Trident 660 in the lineup. Triumph will bring the motorcycle to the Indian market to take on the likes of the Yamaha R7 and the Kawasaki ZX-6R.
