Triumph has been a brand of focus and commitment when the discussion is about supersport motorcycles. The company has provided enthusiasts with one of the most advanced middle-weight supersport motorcycles, called the Daytona. Sadly, European emission norms killed the original Daytona 675. Now, the nameplate made a comeback last year in international markets with a 660 suffix, and it is now ready to go on sale in India as well. The motorcycle will be officially launched tomorrow, but the Triumph Daytona 660 brings a different pedigree to the table. So, what's new about it? Well, take a read to find out.
Triumph Daytona 660: Design
Since the new Triumph Daytona 660 is based on the same platform as the Trident 660, the sharpness of the older avatar of the motorcycle has been traded for a rather approachable design. Nonetheless, it still looks like a Daytona and cannot be mistaken for something else. The nose features upswept headlamps, while it now sports a chunky tail section.
Triumph Daytona 660: Features
As regards the equipment list, the 2024 Triumph Daytona 660 comes with a circular instrument cluster, which was seen on the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660. In addition, the motorcycle will get three riding modes – Rain, Road, and Sport, along with dual-channel ABS as standard fitment across the range.
