Highlights

  • Triumph Daytona 660 launch on August 29th
  • Based on the Trident 660 platform
  • Expected to be priced around Rs 9 lakh to Rs 9.5 lakh

The new-generation Triumph Daytona 660 is finally set to make its debut in India on August 29. The motorcycle was supposed to be launched earlier this year but got delayed due to unfortunate reasons. The modern-day Daytona 660 is built upon the Trident 660 roadster platform that has been on sale in India for a while now. While it is powered by the same 660cc inline-triple engine from the roadster, it has been significantly upgraded to produce a max power output of 95 bhp at 11,250 rpm and 69 Nm of peak torque at 8,250 rpm. Triumph says that 80 per cent of the torque is available as low as 3,125 rpm, which should benefit Daytona’s rideability for city riding.
