What actually changed.

1996 → 2026 · 30 years of "progress"
Daytona name back after 7-year gap Production stopped 2017 → revived 2024 Triumph killed the Daytona 675/R for EU/UK in 2017 (Euro 4 emissions, weak supersport sales). For 7 years the name disappeared. Then 2024 the Daytona 660 launched — road-focused, 660cc, sharing the Trident's engine. Same name, very different bike.
Track tool → road tool 32bhp less, 17kg more, less aggressive Old Daytona 675R: 127bhp, 184kg wet, 830mm aggressive supersport stance, Öhlins suspension. New Daytona 660: 95bhp, 201kg, 810mm relaxed sport-bike, Showa suspension. Different riders. Track-day enthusiasts go elsewhere; the Daytona 660 is for road riders who want fairings without race-replica suffering.
Shares engine with Trident 660 + Tiger Sport 660 One engine, three bikes The 660cc inline-three is the same powerplant in 2026 Daytona 660, Trident 660, and Tiger Sport 660. Same 95bhp / 69Nm tune across all three. Differences are chassis geometry, ergonomics, fairings. Spares pool is unified, dealer servicing identical, cost-amortisation across high-volume sales.
No IMU / cornering ABS — odd omission Cheaper Trident 660 has it for 2026 The $8,095 Trident 660 gets IMU-based cornering ABS and traction control for 2026. The $8,995 Daytona 660 — $900 dearer — doesn't. Road testers (MCN, Bennetts) flagged this. Likely a margin-protection decision: Triumph wants to sell you the Speed Triple 1200 RS for $15,895 if you want full electronics.
Quickshifter standard for 2026 (was option) Brings spec into line 2024-25 Daytona 660 had quickshifter as a $315 option. For 2026 it's standard. Plus adjustable Showa SFF-BP fork (was non-adjustable), Metzeler M9RR Supersport tyres (was Michelin Road 5), aluminium brake pedal. Real spec uplift for $400 price rise.
$8,995 vs $9,504 Yamaha R7 Cheaper, more cylinders, less tech Daytona 660: $8,995, 95bhp inline-three. Yamaha R7: $9,504, 73bhp parallel-twin (full-power) but with 6-axis IMU + cornering electronics + TFT. The Triumph is cheaper and faster on the dyno; the Yamaha is more sophisticated electronically. Honda CBR650R E-Clutch ($8,499) sits in between.
