Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles, said: The Daytona 660 was introduced in 2024 with the vision of growing the middleweight sport bike scene. The Daytona 660 has quickly established itself as a standout contender in the middleweight sport category, proving its capability not only on the road but also on the racetrack, where it has already enjoyed impressive success. Using learnings from our Triumph Factory Racing programme, we are introducing specific upgrades which have been carefully crafted to enhance the Daytonas characteristics and light, agile, sporty feel. Our goal is to ultimately attract new, younger riders to the Triumph brand, and these 2026 updates reinforce the Daytona 660s position as one of the most exciting and cool sport bikes in its class. TRIPLE POWERED PERFORMANCE Powered by Triumphs distinctive 660cc triple engine, the Daytona 660 delivers explosive mid-range punch and top-end rush, with 95PS at 11,250rpm and 69Nm of torque at 8,250rpm and a high 12,650rpm redline. Its defining triple soundtrack comes from the combination of triple throttle bodies, an efficient induction system and a compact underslung silencer, together with a 3into1 exhaust header and catalyst system engineered to meet current standards while maintaining the engines distinctive character. With 80 per cent of peak torque available throughout the rev range, the Daytona offers strong, linear drive throughout the rev range. An intuitive ridebywire throttle ensures crisp, predictable control, giving riders confidence and responsive acceleration in realworld conditions. For 2026, the Daytona 660 delivers an even more exhilarating ride thanks to the Triumph Shift Assist, now fitted as standard. Transforming every gear change with seamless, clutchless up and down shifts, the Shift Assist adds an unmistakably sportier edge to every acceleration. This is paired with a slip and assist clutch that lightens lever effort and smooths engagement, helping riders stay in complete control both through stopstart traffic and on longer, fastflowing journeys. Together, these sharpen the bikes responsiveness, making the Daytona 660 feel even more dynamic, engaging and thrilling across all conditions. The Daytona 660s sixspeed gearbox is complemented by a comprehensive suite of riderfocused technology, including three riding modes. The Sport, Road and Rain modes all optimise throttle response and traction control to suit conditions. Three different riding modes allow the rider to tune the bikes performance to the conditions and capabilities, making each ride its own. Switchable traction control modes and multifunction instruments with integrated TFT displays provide all the information needed to fine-tune the experience. A clear, modern instrument setup features a colour TFT display with an LCD screen, while My Triumph Connectivity is available as an accessory, offering turnbyturn navigation, music and call control. Full LED lighting, including the distinctive new headlight with integrated DRL, ensures excellent visibility and a striking, modern presence on the road.

New Showa 41mm upsidedown big piston Separate Function Forks, adjustable for compression and rebound damping, offer riders an extra level of finetuning that is rarely seen in this class. This enhanced adaptability can help riders create a more personalised setup, improving how the Daytona 660 rides and handles.

Together, these components allow riders to finetune the Daytona 660s handling for anything from everyday road comfort to a sharper, more dynamic feel for spirited road riding or track days. This level of adjustability ensures the suspension can be tailored precisely to rider preference, balancing comfort with performanceled responsiveness. A slim standover design and split seat further enhance confidence and comfort. Seat height remains an accessible 810mm, with an accessory low seat reducing this to 785mm. The sporty riding position is created by clipon bars placed above the top yoke, and wellspaced footpegs. Braking performance has been engineered for precision and reassurance, with Triumph fourpiston radial calipers, twin 310mm front discs and braided brake lines delivering strong, consistent stopping power. The system is supported by a Continental ABS modulator to provide controlled braking feel across a range of conditions.

Triumph is taking its popular Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 to the next level with their most significant updates yet. These updates deliver more performance, making the Trident 660 a much sportier choice, while the Tiger Sport 660 delivers character and excitement, while also improving its touring capability. At the heart of the upgrade is a major engine enhancement. Both models now feature a higher-performance 660cc triple engine, producing an impressive 95PS and 68Nm of torque. This step up in power puts the Trident 660 at the top of middleweight roadster class, while the Tiger Sport 660 combines its new performance with improved touring capability for riders who want to go further, asserting its position as the ultimate middleweight all-rounder.

This combination makes the Trident 660 sportier and more engaging, while the Tiger Sport 660 offers added touring capability, whether riding two-up or fully loaded all while retaining easy, accessible performance and A2 licence compatibility.

Available in UK dealerships from March, giving riders even more choice Triumph has unveiled two new exciting additions to the award-winning 400 range for 2026. For the first time, Triumph introduces a flat track-inspired motorcycle with the launch of the all-new Tracker 400, while the hotly anticipated Thruxton 400, already turning heads in India, is making its global debut, bringing iconic cafe racer style to riders everywhere. These two fun and agile machines blend beautiful retro styling with unmistakable Triumph DNA and feature an enhanced TR-Series engine, delivering 42PS at 9,000rpm.

Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: The Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, and more recently the Scrambler XC, have been a global hit, winning multiple awards and driving record sales. These bikes have brought more younger riders and more women into the Triumph family than ever before, proving the appeal of a premium brand in this market. This success reflects Triumphs unique position in the segment, blending high quality finishing, modern performance and beautiful retro styling. Now, with the Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400, were building on that momentum with two brand-new models that give customers even more choice. Powered by the latest TR-Series engine, the most powerful iteration yet, these bikes deliver distinctive character and engaging performance. The Tracker 400 brings stripped-back flat track attitude, while the Thruxton 400 reimagines an iconic name with authentic caf racer style for a new generation. Together, these models offer riders, more fun, more style and an even sportier ride. TRACKER 400: FLAT TRACK STYLE FOR THE ROAD The new Tracker 400 draws inspiration from flat track racing, capturing the raw, stripped-back aesthetic and competitive spirit synonymous with this class, channelling the style and attitude of bikes built for the oval dirt track. Stripped Back Attitude Designed to stand out in the crowd, the Tracker 400 combines race-inspired styling with aggressive lines for an unmistakable flat track silhouette. Classic Triumph design cues and the iconic engine profile make this a true Modern Classic. The tracker-style fuel tank, with its sculpted knee cut-outs, pairs seamlessly with the fly screen and colour-coded seat cowl and the dual-spoke wheels with blocky dual-purpose Pirelli MT60 RS tyres, deliver a bold, sporty stance. As a Triumph Modern Classic, it features the signature engine profile with powder-coated covers and bright-machined cylinder head fins. That unmistakable Triumph DNA runs throughout, with a classic round LED headlight up front and flowing twin upswept silencers at the rear. The Tracker 400 is offered in three striking race-inspired colour schemes, each showcasing bold Tracker lettering on the fuel tank, set against sleek racing stripes with dramatic mud-splatter detailing that extends seamlessly onto the seat cowl. A distinctive number board proudly displaying 400 pays tribute to legendary flat track racers. The Aluminium Silver Gloss scheme is accented with Racing Red graphics across the fuel tank, seat cowl, number board, and wheels. Racing Yellow delivers a vibrant statement with its bold yellow tank and seat cowl, contrasted by Phantom Black elements and Racing Yellow highlights on the number board and wheels. For a darker, more aggressive look, Phantom Black combines moody black with Dark Silver, Vanilla White, and Pearl Metallic White accents across the tank, cowl, number board, and wheels. An Enhanced Riding Position Upright and elbows out thats the essence of Flat Track style. Wider handlebars, set 23mm broader and 134mm lower than those on the Speed 400 to enhance the bikes dynamic stance. Footpegs are repositioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher, creating a confident, aggressive posture. These ergonomics ensure that the Tracker 400 rides exactly how it looks, with bold and commanding presence. Engineered for fun, sporty performance, the Tracker 400 has a dedicated chassis and premium suspension set-up. Up front, black anodised 43mm upside-down big piston forks offer 140mm of travel, while the rear gas monoshock RSU provides 130mm of travel with preload adjustment for pillion riding. Dual-purpose tyres with a blocky tread pattern complete the look, offering flat track style with road-focused grip and handling. The Tracker 400 integrates advanced rider technology without compromising its classic aesthetic. A seat height of 805mm with features like torque-assist clutch, switchable traction control, and ABS make the ride accessible and enjoyable. A contemporary single-dial analogue speedometer paired with a digital tachometer delivers essential information at a glance, with all wiring neatly hidden to preserve the clean, timeless Triumph look. Exciting and Characterful Engine The latest model features a new and more powerful iteration of Triumphs class leading TR series engine. This has been achieved through a combination of new mechanical parts, including a revised camshaft profile, along with a new engine tune. This results in a five per cent increase in peak power, now producing 42PS peak power at 9,000 RPM, with a higher rev limit and stronger peak power at the top of the rev range. This allows the Tracker 400 to rev harder and higher, for an exhilarating and addictive throttle response that encourages the rider to exploit the performance available and ride this bike with the attitude it deserves. The enhanced engine also retains the 37.5Nm of peak torque, with 80 per cent of this available from 3,000 RPM, offering that linear, torque rich performance that adapts to any riding scenario. The ride by wire throttle ensures intuitive throttle response all the way through the six speed gear box. Attention to Detail Triumph Motorcycles is committed to delivering exceptional performance and uncompromising quality and the Tracker 400 is no exception. Built from premium components and precision-crafted parts, every detail is designed to optimise performance and elevate the riding experience. Powerful four-piston radial calipers deliver strong, progressive braking performance, complemented by robust cast aluminium wheels and a swingarm that add strength and sophistication to the Trackers design. From the upside-down forks providing high-performance suspension, to the precision-machined cooling fins, Triumphs meticulous attention to detail ensures a clean, uncluttered finish with no exposed wires, cables, or hoses to spoil the bikes classic look. This attention to detail extends to the Tracker 400s flawless paintwork, delivering a finish that exudes precision and quality. THE REVIVAL OF THE THRUXTON NAME The legendary Thruxton name makes its return with the all-new Thruxton 400, a modern interpretation of an icon that defined an era. Celebrated for its unmistakable cafe racer attitude and racing heritage, the Thruxton has always embodied style, performance, and character. Now, that spirit is reimagined for a new generation, delivering the perfect balance of timeless design and contemporary engineering. Head-Turning Cafe Racer Design The classic Triumph engine profile is complemented by a sculpted fuel tank, which is a fusion of flowing lines and sharp contemporary contours, with the Triumph triangle badge. A new fairing houses the classic round LED headlight, contrasting with the sporty and stylish bar end mirrors, blending tradition with innovation. Clip-on handlebars lower the front end for a more assertive stance, while the colour-coded bullet seat cowl, shortened rear mudguard and number plate hanger, plus a compact LED light contribute to a minimalist, purposeful rear. The upswept sports silencer completes the look, with a seamless, flowing exhaust line. Four vibrant colour schemes feature sleek graphics and sporty contrast accents on the fuel tank, fairing and seat cowl, while the Matt Phantom Black side panel carries an aluminium finish badge bearing the Thruxton name. The Phantom Black and Aluminium scheme features wide diagonal stripes of colour across the fuel tank and seat cowl, with Racing Red accents on the fairing and seat cowl. The Carnival Red Gloss with Aluminium Silver option features a striking Carnival Red fairing. The Pearl Metallic White and Storm Grey paint scheme includes flashes of Caribbean Blue on the seat cowl and fairing, while the Metallic Racing Yellow with Aluminium Silver design features a Metallic Racing Yellow fairing with Phantom Black accents and Aluminium stripes that carry through on the fuel tank and seat cowl. An All-new Sportier Ride With optimised ergonomics and a dedicated chassis, the new Thruxton 400 delivers a fun and sporty ride. The new chassis and revised suspension setup provide a sharper, more responsive feel, while the sporty handlebar and footpeg position give an engaged riding experience. The new clip-on handlebars are 40mm narrower and 246mm lower than those on the Speed 400, while the rear-set footpegs are positioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher. This rotates the rider forward, creating a true cafe racer riding posture. Black anodised 43mm upside-down big piston forks with 135mm of travel optimised for sporty poise and response, and a preload-adjustable gas mono-shock rear suspension unit with 130mm wheel travel, enhancing the bikes agility and control for a more focused ride. Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres offer a sporty and grippy feel, ensuring confidence in every corner. Just like the rest of the 400 range, the latest rider technology is seamlessly integrated into the Thruxton 400, with an analogue speedometer and an LCD tachometer display with USB-C charging port. A ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, torque assist clutch and ABS ensures rider confidence. Exciting and Characterful Engine Powered by the most powerful iteration of the TR-series engine yet, with all the same enhancements as the Tracker 400, the 398cc engine revs higher and harder, delivering a thrilling top-end while maintaining the smooth, torque-rich performance and rich, distinctive soundtrack that defines the Triumph experience.
