At the unveiling of the Daytona 660, Alastair Fairgrieve, Triumph?s global product marketing manager, said the name was originally chosen to honor Buddy Elmore?s victory on a Triumph in the 1966 Daytona 200, where Elmore came from the 46th on the grid to win the race. 

The name has appeared in various iterations of Triumph motorcycles over the subsequent years and returns in 2024 with the Daytona 660, which features a liquid-cooled 660cc inline-Triple with DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, and a 240-degree firing order. It makes a claimed 94 hp at 11,250 rpm (17% higher than the Trident 660), with redline at 12,650 rpm, and 51 lb-ft of torque at 8,250 rpm (9% more than the Trident), with more than 80% of the torque available from 3,125 rpm.
The bike has a 6-speed gearbox, throttle-by-wire, a slip/assist clutch, and 3-into-1 exhaust with a low stainless-steel silencer. Triumph?s Shift Assist is available as an accessory fit for clutchless up- and downshifts.
