What is the news?
British Motorcycle maker Triumph has revised its Daytona 660 supersports for the 2026 model year. The new upgrades are aimed at making the British middleweight much sharper, better equipped, and more appealing to young, everyday riders.
According to the statement released by Triumph, ” 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” – Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycle.
What exactly is new on the 2026 Triumph Daytona 660?
For 2026, the list of upgrades is quite comprehensive, from chassis updates to fresh new colour schemes. However, the most important change lies at the front of the chassis – the 2026 Daytona 660 now boasts a 41 mm Showa separate-function big-piston fork with compression and rebound adjustability, allowing riders more flexibility to set up their Daytona 660 to their liking.
On top of that, Triumph has now made the quickshifter a standard factory equipment rather than an option. Another notable change is the introduction of Metzeler Sportec M9 RR tyres instead of the earlier Michelin Power 6 rubber.
Along with the mechanical upgrades, the new 2026 Triumph Daytona 660 gets three new colour options, which include: Sapphire Black, Aluminium Silver / Sapphire Black, and Cosmic Yellow / Sapphire Black.
