Triumph Daytona 660 Launched in India at Rs 9.72 Lakh

Triumph has launched the long-awaited Daytona 660 in India at Rs 9.72 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike is a quintessential supersport, featuring a fully faired appearance, a split seat setup (larger than a standard supersport), dual LED headlights, and an upward-sloping rear section. It gets a rider triangle that is simpler and more relaxed, combining sportiness and comfort. For the uninitiated, Triumph's middleweight supersport was supposed to be on sale in our market in April or May, but its launch was postponed for unknown reasons. However, the bike is now available for purchase in our market with features such as dual-channel ABS, traction control, and full LED lighting. If you want to house this motorcycle in your garage, here's all you need to know.

Triumph Daytona 660: Engine

The Daytona has the same 660cc inline three-cylinder engine as the Trident and Tiger Sport. However, it produces more power and torque than its contemporaries, with 94bhp at 11,250rpm and 69Nm at 8,250rpm. Triumph claims that over 80% of its 69 Nm of maximum torque is available at just 3,125rpm, providing a sporty, snappy, fully usable performance. The redline, however, stands at 12,650rpm. The bike gets a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.
