Triumph Motorcycles is set to redefine the world of sport touring with the much-anticipated Triumph Daytona 660, teased in recent images. The sporty tourer, sharing its engine lineage with the Trident 660, is gearing up for its global debut on January 9th, 2024, at 5:30 PM IST.
Teaser Insights: A Sneak Peek into Performance
The teaser images offer a tantalizing glimpse of the Triumph Daytona 660, showcasing its performance-oriented design elements. Notable features include a dual LED headlight cluster, a distinctive sporty stance, and an engine cover proudly displaying the “660” emblem. Speculations suggest that the Daytona 660 might borrow its powerhouse from the Triumph Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660, promising an exhilarating ride.
Engine Speculations: A Powerhouse Connection
The anticipation surrounding the Daytona 660 is fueled by the likelihood of it inheriting the robust 660cc, 3-cylinder engine from its Triumph siblings. Generating 80 BHP at 10,250 RPM and 64 Nm of torque at 6250 RPM, the engine is expected to be paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slip and assist clutch. Enthusiasts can expect power and torque figures tuned for a sharper, performance-driven character suited to the sport touring category.
Daytona’s Comeback: Changing the Rules
While the teaser hints at the return of the iconic Daytona nameplate, there’s a segment of eager enthusiasts anticipating the re-launch of the Daytona 765. Triumph’s teaser caption, boldly stating, “THE RULES ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE” in uppercase, adds to the excitement surrounding the Daytona 660’s debut.
Global Buzz and Expected Launch in India
Spotted in multiple test mules across international markets, the Daytona 660 showcases a sporty yet comfortable riding posture, sharing design elements with the existing 660 Triumph models. With its global debut imminent, expectations are high for an India launch shortly thereafter, with an anticipated price tag of around Rs. 9.50 lakhs (ex-showroom).
