The year 2025 marks the glorious return of a legendary name in the sportbike world – the Triumph Daytona 660. Triumph has reimagined the Daytona for modern riders, blending the heart of a race bike with the soul of an everyday street machine. Positioned as a middleweight sportbike with real-world usability, the Daytona 660 is turning heads with its balanced performance, aggressive styling, and advanced features.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a weekend warrior, here’s why the new Daytona 660 could be your perfect companion.
Design and Aesthetics – Sleek, Sharp, and Sporty
The Daytona 660 showcases a sleek, aggressive stance that reflects Triumph’s sport DNA. With aerodynamic fairings, sharp LED lighting, and a rider-focused cockpit, it’s unmistakably a Daytona. The twin LED headlights paired with a sculpted tank and minimal rear section give it a premium, dynamic look.
Three color options add to the appeal – Snowdonia White, Satin Granite, and the bold Carnival Red. Triumph has ensured the new Daytona looks fast, even while standing still.
Engine and Performance – Heart of a Triple
Under the fairing lies the magic – a 660cc liquid-cooled inline-three engine. This is the same platform shared with the Trident and Tiger Sport 660, but fine-tuned for sportier performance. The Daytona 660 pumps out:
-
95 PS @ 11,250 RPM
-
69 Nm @ 8,250 RPM
This triple-cylinder configuration ensures linear power delivery, exhilarating mid-range torque, and a top-end rush that’s addictively smooth. The exhaust note? Pure Triumph – throaty, raspy, and sporty.
The 6-speed gearbox is slick and pairs well with an optional quickshifter for seamless clutchless shifts. Whether you’re carving through twisties or hitting the track, the Daytona 660 doesn’t disappoint.
Chassis and Handling – Confidence-Inspiring Ride
Triumph has engineered the Daytona 660 to deliver sportbike agility with street-friendly manners. Key highlights include:
-
Tubular steel perimeter frame
-
41mm Showa upside-down front forks
-
Showa monoshock rear suspension with preload adjustability
-
Brembo 4-piston radial calipers with 310mm twin discs
The bike weighs just 201 kg (wet), giving it a nimble feel with plenty of grip and feedback. The riding ergonomics are sporty yet not overly aggressive, making long rides easier on the wrists and back.
Technology – Smart and Modern
The Daytona 660 comes packed with modern tech designed for safety and engagement. Some notable features include:
-
Ride-by-wire throttle
-
Three riding modes – Sport, Road, Rain
-
Switchable traction control
-
Dual-channel ABS
-
TFT-LCD hybrid instrument cluster
Riders can connect their phones via the optional My Triumph Connectivity System for navigation, calls, and music – a great addition for daily commuters and tourers alike.
Comfort and Practicality – Built for Everyday Thrills
Unlike full-blown supersports, the Daytona 660 strikes a balance between race-track thrills and real-world usability. The riding triangle is more relaxed, the seat height of 810mm is accessible, and the suspension is tuned to handle daily roads without punishing the rider.
Whether you’re taking it to work, hitting the weekend canyons, or doing a short tour, the Daytona 660 adapts beautifully.
Price and Availability in India
Triumph Motorcycles India has priced the Daytona 660 competitively for the premium middleweight segment. The expected ex-showroom price starts around ₹9.25 lakh (subject to variation).
It’s now available for booking across Triumph dealerships in India, with deliveries expected by mid-2025.
