Triumph Motorcycles Japan has announced the 2026 model year of its middleweight sports Daytona 660. The new model has been updated to significantly raise its riding performance, including newly adjustable Showa suspension and a quick shifter as standard equipment. New colors have also been added, presenting a more refined sports style. Pricing starts at 1,159,000 yen, and the model will go on sale in late March 2026.

Fusion of overwhelming performance from 3-cylinder engine and state-of-the-art control

At the heart of the new model is Triumph's unique 660cc three-cylinder engine. This powerful power unit boasts a maximum output of 95 PS at 11,250 rpm and maximum torque of 69 Nm at 8,250 rpm. The unique triple sound emitted from the triple throttle body and underslung silencer combination is a great source of excitement for the rider. The unique triple sound emitted from the triple throttle body and underslung silencer combination greatly stimulates the rider's sense of excitement. The 3-into-1 exhaust system complies with the latest emission standards, yet does not compromise the engine's character in the slightest. The introduction of a ride-by-wire throttle provides riders with sharp and predictable control. The most significant evolution for the 2026 model year is the addition of Triumph Shift Assist as standard equipment. This enables seamless shifting up and down without the need for clutch operation, highlighting the sporty performance of the bike in all riding situations. The synergistic effect with the assist and slipper clutch provides both an extremely light feel and solid controllability, from stop-and-go driving in the city to high-speed cruising. Three driving modes are available: Sport, Road, and Rain, each of which optimizes throttle response and traction control for different road conditions. The instrument panel features a multifunctional instrumentation that combines an LCD screen and color TFT display. In addition, full LED lighting with integrated daytime ranking lights ensures high visibility on public roads and a modern appearance.

Chassis and aggressive new style incorporating technology developed through racing

A Showa 41mm inverted big piston separate function fork is newly introduced for the suspension. This fork, with compression and rebound damping force adjustment, offers riders a range of settings beyond its class. Combined with the rear suspension with preload adjustment, it allows for a personalized ride tailored to each rider's preferences and riding conditions. Premium Metzler M9RR Supersport tires are standard. The tires provide dramatically improved road feedback and grip performance, providing riders with a solid sense of security from winding roads to race circuits. The braking system features 4-piston radial calipers and twin 310mm discs, and in combination with ABS, is designed to provide strong and stable braking power. The exterior design boasts an aggressive silhouette that reflects the knowledge gained from Triumph's racing activities, and three new color schemes are available for the 2026 model year, with Cosmic Yellow and Sapphire Black making a particularly strong contrast. The bold "660" graphic on the sapphire black belly pan further enhances the machine's dynamic appearance. The quality of the brake pedal, made of clear anodized aluminum, is a highlight of the machine's appearance. The seat height is set at 810 mm, and can be lowered to 785 mm with the use of an accessory low seat, making it a comfortable package for many riders. In terms of maintenance costs, the model offers excellent cost-performance thanks to a long service interval of 16,000 km. Prices vary by color, with the Sapphire Black model priced at 1,159,000 yen and the Aluminum Silver and Cosmic Yellow models both priced at 1,179,000 yen.
