About Daytona 660
The Daytona name carries real weight at Triumph. The Daytona 675 of the mid-2000s was one of the best supersport bikes of its era, with a three-cylinder engine that delivered a sound and character the four-cylinder Japanese bikes could not match. When supersport sales faded and emissions rules tightened, the Daytona went into hibernation, apart from a limited Moto2-inspired special edition. The 675 also earned a cult following on track days, where its compact chassis made it a favorite.
The Daytona 660, introduced in 2024, revived the name with a different mission. Rather than a race replica, it is a road-focused sportbike built around the 660cc triple shared with the Trident and Tiger Sport, tuned for more power and paired with sporty bodywork and a comfortable riding position. Reviewers praised its engine, handling and value, while some purists wanted the razor-sharp edge of the old 675. In some markets a restricted version is offered for newer riders.
The middleweight sportbike class has become popular again, and the Daytona 660 competes with the Yamaha R7, Honda CBR650R, Kawasaki Ninja 650 and Aprilia RS 660. It is sold in many markets including India, where Triumph's bigger bikes have found new buyers alongside the Bajaj-built singles. This page tracks Daytona 660 updates and colors, prices, reviews, comparisons and recalls, along with the wider Triumph news that touches it. For a brand built on triples, keeping one in a sportbike matters.
