Triumph has revealed an all-new, triple powered middleweight sports bike for 2024; the Daytona 660. Delivering a seriously thrilling sports performance, the Daytona 660 offers a dynamic ride and the highest quality, capability and specification in its class.
The Daytona 660’s triple engine delivers a perfect blend of low-end torque, exhilarating high-rpm power, and distinctive character. Producing 95PS at 11,250rpm with a 12,650rpm redline, it offers over 80% of its 69Nm peak torque from just 3,125rpm. The new exhaust with 3-into-1 headers and a compact underslung silencer amplifies the engine’s unique triple soundtrack.
Power delivery is through a slick, six-speed gearbox and Triumph’s Torque Assist clutch ensures a progressive, light lever action with a span optimised clutch lever for better reach. The clutch design improves rear wheel control under hard deceleration for smooth, confident corner entry. Triumph’s Shift Assist is available as an accessory fit for fast and effortless clutch-less up and down shifts and even easier riding in town.
The new Daytona 660 sports a lightweight sports frame, top quality Showa 41mm upside down, big-piston front forks and a Showa rear suspension unit, delivering an easy and agile ride. The rear suspension also features preload adjustment for quick set-up alterations.
Lightweight five-spoked cast aluminium wheels keep rotating mass low for a responsive handling and enhanced suspension performance. Michelin’s new, high-specification, Power 6 tyres are fitted to deliver confident road handling in all conditions. With twin four-piston radial callipers paired to lightweight 310mm discs and fed by braided lines, plus a Continental ABS modulator, the Daytona 660 has excellent stopping power and braking feel.
The technology in Daytona 660 enhances riding experience and safety. The ride-by-wire throttle delivers a precise throttle response, allowing for three riding modes: Sport, Road and Rain. Each mode offers a different throttle response and level of traction control intervention, with Sport mode providing the most reactive throttle response for full-on road rides or track sessions. The traction control system can also be turned off using the instrument menu for riders who prefer complete freedom from electronic intervention.
The multi-functional instruments feature a colour TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display. Compact, and with an uncluttered design, rider information can be easily read in different light conditions. The accessory fit My Triumph Connectivity System enables turn-by-turn navigation plus phone and music interaction. All functions are clearly displayed on the TFT screen and controlled via the switchgear for ease of use while riding.
With racy clip-on bars positioned above the top yoke and pegs placed for the optimum balance of comfort and cornering clearance, the Daytona 660’s natural riding position is perfectly judged to give the feedback needed for dynamic sports riding with space and comfort necessary for long days in the saddle. At lower speeds, the Daytona’s perfectly weighted controls and light steering give superb control in urban environments.
Split rider and pillion seats, with a rider seat height of 810mm and a narrow stand-over make the Daytona 660 manageable for riders of all sizes, and an accessory low seat is also available, lowering the seat height by 25mm to just 785mm.
There are over 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories available, all engineered alongside the motorcycle, tested to the same high standards, and carrying the same two-year unlimited mileage warranty.
Riders looking for an even more distinctive race paddock style can choose a colour-coded seat cowl as well as a range of engineered, billet-machined parts including an oil filler cap, pre-drilled for lock-wiring, paddock stand bobbins, bar end finishers and a rear brake reservoir.
The My Triumph Connectivity System allows intuitive phone and music operation plus turn-by-turn navigation and is available as an accessory on the Daytona 660. Triumph Shift Assist can also be added, providing clutch-less, full-throttle upshifting and seamless downshifting with auto-blip.
Other additions include heated grips, an under-seat USB socket and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). A tank bag and tail pack are also available, adding 20 litres of stylish carrying capacity.
New security accessories include the Triumph Protect+ alarm system, and Triumph Track+ tracker with 24/7 monitoring as well as comprehensive range of locks.
Steve Sargent, Triumph’s Chief Product Officer said: “The Daytona 660 has all the attitude and agility you’d expect from the Daytona name, and brings with it the thrilling, useable, real-world performance and all-day comfort that riders today are looking for. We are excited by the impact the Daytona 660 is going to have on the growing middleweight sports world.”
