The 2026 Triumph Daytona 660 launched with improved suspension and new features

Triumph has updated the Daytona 660 for 2026, introducing new suspension features, tyres, and added equipment. The core mechanical components remain unchanged, but these updates aim to enhance the motorcycle's performance and rider experience.

Key Highlights

• Triumph Daytona 660 receives suspension upgrades and new Metzeler Sportec M9 RR tyres for 2026
• Showa 41 mm USD fork now offers rebound and preload adjustability on the updated model
• The bi-directional quickshifter becomes standard equipment along with refreshed colour options
• 660cc engine continues to deliver 95 HP and 68 Nm with no mechanical changes
• UK price rises to GBP 8,995, while Indian pricing for the updated model is yet to be announced

Key Updates for 2026 Model

The most significant change is the new Showa 41 mm upside-down fork, now offering both rebound and preload adjustability. This allows riders to fine-tune the front suspension for a broader range of setups. The rear continues with a Showa monoshock, which remains preload adjustable only. Unlike the Triumph Trident 660, the Daytona 660 does not receive rear rebound damping adjustment.

Triumph has also switched the tyres to Metzeler Sportec M9 RR, replacing the previous Michelin Power 6 units. This change may provide improved grip and feedback across different riding conditions. Another notable addition is the bi-directional quickshifter, now standard equipment rather than an optional accessory.

The updated Daytona 660 comes in new color options: black, silver, and yellow. The graphics have been refreshed for a sportier appearance, moving away from the simpler stickering of the earlier model.

Performance and Pricing Details

The Daytona 660 continues to use a 660 cc inline triple engine, producing 95 HP and 68 Nm of torque. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle retains its steel perimeter frame, Showa rear suspension, twin front disc brakes with radial calipers, and a riding position with clip-on handlebars above the top yoke and moderately rear-set footpegs.

In the UK, the updated Daytona 660 is now priced at GBP 8,995, up from GBP 8,595. This represents a price increase of GBP 400, or approximately Rs 50,000. In India, the current model is priced at Rs 9.88 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The price for the updated version in India has not yet been announced. With the Daytona 660 update, Triumph completes its 2026 roll-out of 29 new and updated models, as announced in November of the previous year.
