Triumph Daytona 660: Your questions answered

-
Triumph Daytona, Daytona 660 price, colours.

The Triumph Daytona 660 has been launched in India and this is currently the only fully faired Triumph model on sale. We clear up some common doubts about the Daytona 660.

How much power does the Triumph Daytona 660 make?

The Daytona 660 is powered by the same 660cc mill as found in the Trident 660 and the Tiger Sport 660. However, in this bike, the 660cc triple is in its most powerful state making 95hp at 11,250rpm and 69Nm at 8,250rpm. That is a bump of 14hp and 5Nm over the other two 660cc models.

What is the top speed of the Triumph Daytona 660? 

Triumph doesn’t claim a top speed figure for the Daytona 660. But given the fact that it has 95hp at its disposal, as well as slippery fully faired bodywork, the bike should be able to exceed 200kph, given a long enough stretch of open road.

How much does the Triumph Daytona 660 weigh? 

The Daytona 660 weighs 201kg, which makes it heavier than some flagship litre-class superbikes on sale. The Trident 660 – with which the Daytona 660 has many similarities – weighs 189kg, making it 12kg lighter than the fully faired Triumph 660.

How many colours does the Daytona 660 get? 

The Daytona 660 can be had in three colours – Snowdonia White/Sapphire Black, Satin Granite/Satin Jet Black and Carnival Red/Sapphire Black. All colours cost the same, which neatly brings us to our last question. 

What is the price of the Triumph Daytona 660?

In India, the Daytona 660 is priced at Rs 9.72 lakh (ex-showroom, India), making it the most expensive 660cc model in the line-up. However, in the UK, the Daytona 660 is priced below the Tiger Sport 660, which shows that Bajaj foresees people shelling out extra for the fully faired sportbike over a practical all rounder. At this price, the Daytona 660 is Rs 45,000 more affordable than the Street Triple R, which makes more power, has better componentry, more features and packs in a bi-directional quickshifter as standard. Only time will tell if this pricing strategy was correct.

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres.
