Triumph Daytona 660 launched in India – Image Gallery

Triumph has finally launched the Daytona 660 in India. This is the third bike on the British bikemaker’s 660cc platform and it sits above the Trident 660 as well as the Tiger Sport 660. Let's take a close look at it.

The new Triumph Daytona appears youthful, sharp, and swanky as a sportsbike does. Its front end comprises a split LED headlight with a clear visor, clip-on handles, and an overall aggressive stance.

However, the Daytona 660 isn’t as committed as a supersport or even its predecessor, the Daytona 675. This is more relaxed and could do long-distance touring as well.

Triumph is offering the Daytona 660 in three paint schemes in India – Snowdonia White, Satin Granite, and Carnival Red.

Powering the Daytona 660 is an inline three-cylinder 660cc liquid-cooled engine that makes 95bhp at 11,250rpm and 69Nm at 8,250rpm. It is linked to a six-speed gearbox and also the most powerful among the 660 trios from Triumph.

Triumph is also offering a bunch of accessories with the Daytona 660. The list comprises bolt-on engine cover protectors, rubber tank pads, frame protectors, through-axle fork protectors, and an all-weather cover with a battery charger, and more.

On the list of features are an all-digital dash, three ride modes—rain, Road, and Sport—and dual-channel ABS as standard. The bike also gets smartphone connectivity, but that comes at an extra cost.

The Daytona rides on 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD fork and a Showa monoshock with preload adjustment. The braking hardware comprises a pair of 310mm front discs and a 220mm single disc at the rear. These are mounted on 17-inch alloys wrapped in 120/70 front and 180/55 rear tyres.

Triumph has also listed a race-conversion kit on its website for the Daytona 660. It includes brakes, new bodykit, Bitubo suspension, and more.

The asking price for the Triumph Daytona 660 is set at Rs. 9.72 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It rivals the Kawasaki Ninja 650 in the middleweight space.
