Triumph has updated the Daytona 660 and for 2026 it now comes with adjustable Showa front suspension, Triumph Shift Assist, and Metzeler M9RR Supersport tires.

“The Daytona 660 was introduced in 2024 with the vision of growing the middleweight sportbike scene,” said Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycle. “The Daytona 660 has quickly established itself as a standout contender in the middleweight sport category, proving its capability not only on the road but also on the racetrack, where it has already enjoyed impressive success. Using what we’ve learned from our Triumph Factory Racing program, we are introducing specific upgrades which have been carefully crafted to enhance the Daytona’s characteristics and light, agile, sporty feel. Our goal is to ultimately attract new, younger riders to the Triumph brand, and these 2026 updates reinforce the Daytona 660’s position as one of the most exciting and cool sport bikes in its class.”

The Showa 41mm upside‑down Big Piston Separate Function Forks, adjustable for compression and rebound damping, which are paired with a Showa rear suspension unit featuring preload adjustment.

Powered by Triumph’s 660cc triple engine, the Daytona 660 has claimed 94 hp at 11,250 rpm, 50.9 lb-ft of torque at 8250 rpm, and a high 12,650 rpm redline. The six‑speed Daytona 660 comes equipped with Triumph quickshifter, which is paired with a slip-and-assist clutch that lightens lever effort and smooths engagement. Three riding modes—Sport, Road and Rain—are accessed by the color TFT display with an LCD screen. Triple throttle bodies, an efficient induction system and a compact underslung silencer, together with a 3-into-1 exhaust header and catalyst system are engineered to meet current standards while maintaining the engine’s distinctive character.

Braking is handled by Triumph four‑piston radial calipers, twin 310mm front discs and braided brake lines. The system is supported by a Continental ABS modulator. The Daytona also gains a new aluminum brake pedal with a clear anodized finish, complementing the forged-aluminum yoke and the clean, uncluttered cockpit, where neatly routed, hidden hoses and cables.

For 2026, the Daytona 660 runs on premium Metzeler M9RR Supersport tires mounted to lightweight five‑spoke 17‑inch cast aluminum wheels. Full LED lighting, a distinctive new headlight, and clip‑on bars come standard, and seat height remains at 31.89 inches, with accessory low seats available.

Three new styles come on the model-year Daytona 660: Sapphire Black color, new for 2026, and two premium color options, Aluminum Silver/Sapphire Black and Cosmic Yellow/Sapphire Black.

The Daytona 660 has class-leading 10,000-mile service intervals and a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, covering not only the motorcycle but any Genuine Triumph Accessories purchased with it.

The new MY26 Daytona 660 is available from $9395 and will be in authorized Triumph dealers beginning March 2026.
