2026 Triumph Daytona 660 Updates
Triumph’s 2026 Daytona 660 has landed in Australian dealerships, bringing a few choice refinements to the popular middleweight sportsbike. The model continues to be offered in both 42 kW LAMS trim and a full-power 70 kW specification, with the latter now delivering a touch more top end shove.
That extra kit has pushed pricing up slightly, with the 2026 Triumph Daytona 660 now priced at $15,500 ride-away in Australia, compared to $14,990 for the 2025 model. It is not an unreasonable jump, however, given the added standard equipment.
Chief among the updates is Triumph Shift Assist, which now comes standard. As an accessory, the system would have cost buyers close to $700 plus fitting, so its inclusion helps offset much of the price rise while freeing up budget for other add-ons.
Suspension has also come in for attention, with the 41 mm Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Big Piston) forks now offering compression and rebound adjustability. The rear shock carries over unchanged, retaining preload adjustment.
Triumph has also switched tyre suppliers, with the Daytona 660 now rolling on Metzeler M9RR rubber in place of the previous Michelins.
Helping differentiate the new models will be fresh colour schemes, with the standard option being Sapphire Black, which should keep the riders who like a blacked-out bike happy.
You’ll also have two premium colour options: Aluminium Silver and Sapphire Black, or Cosmic Yellow and Sapphire Black, both featuring Diablo Red details. The Cosmic Yellow is definitely the most striking of the options to my eye, with the traditional white colour scheme taking a break.
So if you’re keen to get your hands on the new Daytona 660, head into your local Triumph dealer, as they are available now.

The Daytona 660 at a glance
As a run down on the continuing features, the Daytona 660 is powered by a triple-cylinder pumping out 70 kW or just shy of 95 hp at 11,250 rpm in full power form, accompanied by 69 Nm or torque at 8250 rpm.
In comparison, the LAMS version brings that down to 42 kW, or almost 57 hp, peaking at 6750 rpm, with torque slightly dropping to 62 Nm at 6250 rpm. Triumph does a great job with the tune to ensure you don’t feel like you’re on a neutered, power-limited bike.
With either version, you’re getting the trademark Triumph triple character, and while a little more relaxed than the 765 cc triples, the Daytona still has plenty of thrills on offer. That’s particularly unique considering most options in the market are now parallel-twins.
An RbW throttle offers three ride modes (Sport, Road, Rain) and traction control. A TFT/LCD display keeps you informed, but My Triumph Connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, music, and call control remains an accessory, in a perhaps strange twist, if this wasn’t also a LAMS bike, where using your phone in any fashion is illegal on Ls and Ps.
Continental provide the ABS, with four-piston front calipers on 310 mm floating rotors, and 220 mm rear rotor with single-piston caliper. Those cast aluminium five-spoke wheels are 17 x 3.50 and 17 x 5.50 inch sizes, and take 120/70 and 180/55 tyres front and rear respectively.
While it is a sporting motorcycle, the Daytona offers a more relaxed ergonomic and ride position, making for a great everyday ride that won’t break the bank, or the back, and that extends to an 810 mm seat height, which is accessible for a wide variety of riders and can be lowered further with the accessory seat.
Total wet weight is 201 kg, with 14 litres of fuel, which with Triumph’s claimed figure of 4.9L/100km should get you over 250 km between refills easily.
16,000 km service intervals are also lengthy, but that’s with the caveat of 16,000 km OR every 12 months. So if you’re doing enormous mileage each year, you’ll be ahead, but otherwise, realistically, it’s business as usual. Warranty is two years.
