New Triumph Daytona 660 teased ahead of 9 Jan global debut
Triumph has teased the all-new Daytona 660 via its social media handles, revealing that the motorcycle will make its global debut on 9 January, 2024. The teaser pictures give glimpses of its fascia and engine displacement, hinting it will be based on the brand's current 660cc platform.
New Triumph Daytone 660: Design
The teaser picture posted on Triumph's official social media handle shows the Daytone 660 being ridden at night. The motorcycle bears the familiar Daytone trait - a dual headlight setup, which could come with integrated daytime running lights. It also has a fairly tall transparent windscreen. Going by the teaser, the riding posture appears quite committed with rear-set foot pegs. That being said, the overall design is likely to be reminiscent of the good old Daytona 675 and Daytona Moto2 765.
On the other hand, there is another picture displaying the number 660, which points at the engine displacement of the motorcycle and the motorcycles it is based on, the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport. It might also share some key components with the two said motorcycles.
