After a long wait, Triumph Motorcycles will finally launch the new Daytona 660 in India tomorrow, August 29, 2024. Bookings for the new Triumph Daytona 660 began as early as June this year and the bike was expected to arrive a few weeks prior. However, the much-delayed motorcycle will finally arrive on Indian shores and will join the Trident 660 in the brand’s lineup.
Triumph Daytona 660 Engine Specifications
The Triumph Daytona 660 shares its underpinnings with the Trident 660 streetfighter. The motorcycle draws power from the same 660 cc in-line three-cylinder engine tuned for 93.8 bhp at 11,250 rpm and 69 Nm of peak torque at 8,250 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. About 80 per cent of the torque is available from 3,125 rpm, making it a friendly motorcycle to commute on.

The new Daytona 660 revives the iconic moniker in the Triumph family. While the latter was an absolute track tool, the new Daytona is said to be friendlier when it comes to everyday rideability. The bike continues to get a full-faired styling complete with the twin LED headlamps and split seats for a sporty look. Under the fairing is a tubular steel perimeter frame with 41 mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and a Showa preload adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking performance comes from twin 310 mm disc brakes at the front and 220 mm single disc at the rear.

Triumph will retail the motorcycle in three colour options – Satin Granite, Sapphire Black and Carnival Red.
