This is 14 hp and 5 Nm more than its naked and adventure-styled counterparts. While it falls short of the power output of the earlier Daytona 675, Triumph emphasizes that the Daytona 660 is designed to be more rider-friendly and comfortable.
Despite the power boost, the Daytona 660 is 12 kg heavier than the Trident 660 but 5 kg lighter than the Tiger Sport 660. The bike has a seat height of 810 mm, which is 25 mm lower than the Tiger Sport 660 and 5 mm taller than the Trident 660.
