We’d heard the rumours and Triumph have now confirmed the Daytona 660 for early 2024, adding a mid-capacity sportsbike back into the range, with UK pricing confirmed at £8,595. Australian pricing is also now confirmed as starting from $14,790 (AUD) ride-away.
Fast forward to 2024 and the new Daytona 660 is a different beast, it’s not a supersport, it’s a sportsbike, more similar to what we see in the Ninja 650, R7, CBR650R and another new arrival the GSX-8R. That means no back breaking ergonomics, no 130 or so horsepower, and much more restrained specifications overall. With the 810 mm seat height certainly helping to make the bike more accessible. That’s 31.9 inches.
Australia will get the full power version with 95 horsepower and 69 Nm of torque, care of a host of engine updates, including new crankshaft, new camshaft and cam profile, new cylinder head, pistons and pins, plus new valve gear. A restricted LAMS version is also on the books, boasting quite a bit more performance than the A2 version over in Europe.
A new exhaust is also run, and we’re promised a note to match. Brakes have also been upgraded over the Trident, with four-piston Triumph branded radial calipers run on the 310 mm dual front rotors.
Suspension is a Showa 41 mm fork, and it’s worth noting that’s a SFF-BP, or Separate Function Big Piston unit, with 110 mm of travel, alongside a Showa monoshock with preload adjustment and 130 mm of travel.
Like the Trident, the Daytona 660 offers a modern but basic loadout, three ride modes, Sport, Road Rain, linked to the ABS and traction control systems, with a TFT display and full LED lighting.
