Triumph Motorcycles presented its latest offering, the Daytona 660, to the world.
This sleek and aggressive sport bike is now making waves in the market as dealerships open their doors to enthusiasts, unofficially accepting bookings with a token amount of Rs. 50,000, as reported by Motorbeam.
The British manufacturer is gearing up to introduce this powerhouse to the Indian market in the coming months, with an anticipated starting price of around Rs. 9 lakh(ex-showroom).
Design and Features:
The Triumph Daytona 660 stands out in the manufacturer’s lineup of sport bikes, sharing the 660 platform with the Trident 660 and the Tiger Sport 660.
What sets it apart is its upgraded 660cc inline-triple engine, delivering 95bhp and 69Nm of torque. This powerful sports model will be an exhilarating and dynamic riding experience on the open road.
The bike’s design exudes a sense of aggression and agility, thanks to its tubular steel perimeter frame and twin-sided fabricated steel swingarm.
Performance:
The heart of the Daytona 660 lies in its upgraded engine capabilities. The 660cc inline-triple engine is mated to a wet, multi-plate, slip-and-assist clutch, paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox.
This combination ensures precise gear shifts and optimal power delivery, allowing riders to unleash the full potential of the machine. With 95bhp at your fingertips, the Daytona 660 promises a good performance on the streets.
Suspension and Braking:
The Daytona 660 is equipped with advanced suspension and braking systems to complement its powerful engine.
The front features Showa 41mm upside-down Separate Function Forks with Big Piston technology, providing a smooth ride with 110mm of wheel travel.
At the rear, a Showa mono-shock RSU with preload adjustment offers 130mm of wheel travel, ensuring stability and control.
The braking system is equally impressive, featuring twin 310mm floating discs with 4-piston radial callipers and ABS at the front, and a single 220mm fixed disc with a single-piston sliding calliper and ABS at the rear.
Competition and Maintenance:
Upon its release in the Indian market, the Triumph Daytona 660 will face competition from formidable rivals like the Kawasaki Ninja 650 and the Honda CBR650R.
Maintenance-wise, the Daytona 660 has a service interval of 16,000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. This not only emphasises the bike’s reliability but also ensures a hassle-free ownership experience for riders.
