It could be pricier than some of the other motorcycles in the segment.
The wait for the Triumph Daytona 660 in India might finally be coming to an end. While the initial launch target of May 2024 was missed, there are signs that the motorcycle could arrive by early July. This news will surely be exciting for motorcycle enthusiasts who have been eagerly waiting for this new offering from Triumph.
Dealerships have already begun accepting bookings for the Daytona 660, with initial amounts ranging from ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 50,000. The expected ex-showroom price for the bike is around ₹ 9 to 10 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Triumph Daytona 660 takes design cues from its Daytona lineage, offering a sharp and sporty aesthetic. The stylish new bodywork, with its distinctive twin LED headlights and central air intake, wraps around the chassis, blending with the sculpted fuel tank. The tail unit is minimal and complements the smooth lines of the bike.
In terms of features, the Daytona 660 doesn't disappoint. The bike comes equipped with a full-LED lighting setup, a modern TFT/LCD with Bluetooth connectivity, and three riding modes - Rain, Road, and Sport. These features offer riders greater control and adjustability depending on their riding style and the prevailing conditions.
The upcoming Triumph Daytona 660 borrows its platform and engine from the successful Trident 660. This means the Daytona 660 will be powered by a 660cc, inline-three engine that produces 95bhp and 69Nm. Interestingly, 80% of the torque is available at a low 3,125rpm, which is a significant feature for riders who navigate city traffic frequently. This should translate to effortless tractability in city riding. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The bike rides on lightweight cast aluminium wheels, shod with Michelin Power 6 tyres. These tyres are known for excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions, along with good wear life.
The Triumph Daytona 660 is built on a tubular steel perimeter frame. Suspension duties are handled by a 41mm Showa USD fork at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking performance is ensured by twin 310mm discs up front and a single 220mm disc at the back.
Although it's a downsizing for the Daytona name tag, it is expected to be a strong contender in the Indian market. The bike will compete against the Honda CBR650R.
