should see a range around the 285km mark . Over in the chassis department , and in keeping with the aim of an attainable and usable sport bike , the new Daytona features an 810mm seat height with a narrow standover while the handlebar and footpeg position have been designed with comfort rather than track dominance in mind . Triumph has fitted the Daytona 660 with quality Showa non-adjustable upside-down big piston 41mm forks at the front and a Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU to manage bumps in the road . Performing stopping duties for the 201 kilo Daytona are a pair of Triumph branded radial four-piston brakes with twin 310mm discs and braided brake lines , while the lightweight 17-inch rims are paired with Michelin ’ s new Power 6 tyres to keep the Daytona on the road . Tech-wise , the Daytona ships with the mandatory ABS braking system in play with the addition of three rider modes ( Sport , Road and Rain ) and switchable traction control thanks to the inclusion of a rideby-wire throttle . Each rider mode offers a different throttle response and level of traction control intervention , with Sport mode providing the most reactive throttle response for full-on road rides or track sessions . The traction control system can also be turned off using the instrument menu for riders who prefer complete freedom from electronic intervention . This is all controlled through multifunctional instruments that feature a colour TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display . As an optional accessory , the Daytona can be equipped with the My Triumph Connectivity System which enables turn-by-turn navigation plus phone and music interaction .
As always , Triumph will debut the Daytona with a number of other accessories ready to fit . Currently , there are over 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories available , all engineered alongside the motorcycle , tested to the same standards , and carrying the same two-year unlimited mileage warranty as the new Daytona itself . Triumph Motorcycles New Zealand is yet to confirm local arrival , specifications and pricing for the new Daytona .
