Triumph Daytona 660 packs more punch
Triumph Motorcycles reveal the new generation Daytona 660. It comes with modern design language offering a sporty and sleek look. The 660cc engine offers 17% more power and 9% more torque than the Trident. There is a new exhaust system on offer that sounds more sporty.
The new Triumph Daytona 660 is powered by a 660cc, liquid cooled, inline 3-cylinder engine that produces 95 PS at 11,250 RPM and 69 Nm torque at 8250 RPM. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox that also gets Triumph’s Shift Assist.
The motorcycle is underpinned by a Tubular steel perimeter frame. The front tyre is 120/70 ZR 17, while the rear tyre is 180/55 ZR 17. It is equipped with Showa 41 mm upside down front forks and Showa monoshock rear suspension.
Braking duties are handled by twin 310 mm floating discs up front and single 220 mm fixed disc at the rear. The bike has a seat height of 810 mm and 14-litre fuel tank capacity.
Triumph offers riding modes like Sport, Road and Rain. Some of the features include heated grips, under-seat USB socket and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
The multi-functional instruments feature a colour TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display. This unit is compatible with the accessory fit My Triumph Connectivity System that enables turn-by-turn navigation plus phone and music interaction. All functions are displayed on the TFT screen and controlled via the switchgear.
There is a new Emergency Deceleration Warning system that activates the hazard lights to alert other road users during heavy braking.
The motorcycle comes with 10,000-mile service interval and Triumph is offering two-year unlimited mileage warranty in the international market.
Triumph is expected to launch the new Daytona in India later this year. It will compete with the Honda CBR650R in our country.
