Triumph will be launching the all-new Daytona 660 in India tomorrow, i.e., 29 August 2024. The iconic British brand has confirmed the same through a short video teaser on its social media handles. Earlier in March this year, Triumph listed the Daytona 660 on its India website confirming its launch in the country.
Also referred to as the “Baby Daytona”, it is the smallest fully-faired sports bike in Triumph’s global lineup. The Daytona 660 made its global debut in January this year and replaces the Daytona Moto2 765 from Triumph’s international lineup. It is most likely to be available as a fully-imported CBU model.
Triumph Daytona 660: Features
The Daytona 660 boasts an impressive array of features, including full LED lighting and a cutting-edge digital console with a high-resolution TFT screen, presented in a sleek white-on-black LCD unit reminiscent of the Trident 660. This unit is compatible with the optional My Triumph Connectivity System, which provides turn-by-turn navigation, phone integration, and music playback.
Beyond its convenient features, the Daytona 660 also offers a suite of advanced electronic riding aids, such as ride-by-wire technology with three riding modes (road, sport, and rain), a bi-directional quickshifter, and switchable traction control. Additionally, Triumph will offer a range of accessories, allowing customers to tailor their bike to their individual preferences and needs.
Triumph Daytona 660: Hardware & Powertrain specs
The Daytona 660 gets the same underpinnings as Tiger Sport 660 and Trident 660. Hence, it is based on the same tubular steel perimeter frame with a twin-sided steel swingarm which is suspended on 41mm Showa big piston USD forks up front and a rear Showa mono-shock with preload adjustment.
Braking duties are carried out by twin 310mm floating front discs and a single 220mm rear disc aided by a dual-channel ABS. The Daytona 660 rolls on 120/70 ZR 17 front and 180/55 ZR 17 rear tyres. The bike weighs 201 kg (kerb) and has a seating height of 810mm.
Powering the Daytona 660 will be a 660cc, inline triple-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that has been tweaked to dish out a higher output. In the Daytona, this motor kicks out 94 bhp at 11,250 rpm and a peak torque of 69 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch.
