Despite sharing the same 660 cc engine, the new Daytona 660 produces more power and more torque than the Trident 660.
After several spy shots and anticipations, Triumph has finally unveiled the latest iteration of its legendary badge, the Daytona. While it makes a comeback with the 660cc triple-cylinder engine that plies its trade on the Trident 660, Triumph claims that the new Daytona 660 has been significantly worked upon to deliver that unmistakable performance that one associates with this hallowed sport bike.
Although the new Daytona 660 shares the same triple-cylinder engine as the Trident 660, Triumph claims that the former produces 17 percent more power and 9 percent more torque than the naked motorcycle.
On the sport bike, the 660cc, inline-three engine with a 240-degree firing order produces 94 bhp at 11,250 rpm and 69 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Furthermore, 80 percent of this torque is available at just 3,125 rpm. With a sky high redline at 12,650 rpm, the Daytona 660 also has the highest rev ceiling engine of all three Triumph 660cc motorcycles.
All this power and torque is delivered to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox with Triumph’s Torque Assist Clutch available as standard and Triumph’s Shift Assist (bi-directional quickshifter basically) available as an accessory. Complimenting this new engine is a new 3-into-1 exhaust header with a compact underslung silencer with a stainless steel finish.
The Daytona 660 is built around a tubular frame chassis with a twin-sided fabricated steel swingarm. It rides on 17-inch lightweight aluminium alloy wheels at both ends. Suspension duties are taken care of by Showa-sourced 41mm USD, big-piston fork and a Showa monoshock with remote preload adjustment. Braking duties in the new Daytona 660 are handled by twin 310mm floating discs with 4-piston radial calipers and a 220mm fixed disc with single-piston caliper. Dual-channel ABS is available as standard
With ride-by-wire throttle input, the 2024 Triumph Daytona 660 gets three ride modes - Sport, Road, and Rain. These modes alter the throttle response and the level of traction control intervention. There’s also a new TFT screen with a white-on-black LCD display. It supports Bluetooth connectivity via Triumph’s Connnectivity System which enables turn-by-turn navigation, phone and music controls. All these functions are controlled via the switchgear on the handlebar.
In addition to the above, Triumph is also offering the Daytona 660 with over 30 accessory parts. These include heated grips, under-seat USB sockets, tyre pressure monitoring system and much more.
For eager buyers, the Daytona 660 has now just been unveiled for the global market and it is expected to launch in our country by March. As for its price, we expect Triumph to sell the Daytona 660 priced between ₹8.5 Lakh to ₹9 lakh.
