New for the 2011 model year, the Triumph Sprint
GT offers a unique blend of sporting ability with
touring practicality.
With up to 117 litres of hard luggage capacity,
a 200+ mile fuel range, on-the-fly electrical charging
and anti-lock brakes as standard, this practicality
is the key to the Sprint GT’s success.
Powering the Sprint GT is a 130PS version of Triumph’s
venerable 1050cc three-cylinder engine, with
108Nm of torque for effortless overtaking. The chassis,
developed from the Sprint ST, features a stylish
aluminium frame with single sided swingarm. The GT’s
rear shock absorber is easily adjusted for solo
and two-up riding using the hand adjuster located
just behind the rider’s leg. The four-piston
caliper
brakes are developments of the Sprint ST’s items,
with ABS fitted as standard. Ready to ride, the
Sprint GT weighs in at just 265kg, including the panniers
and a full tank of fuel.
High quality colour coded panniers come as standard
on Sprint GT and are operated with the ignition
key. These each hold 31 litres of luggage and have
been designed to hold a large full-faced helmet.
For riders looking for even more capacity, a massive
55 litre top box is available as an official accessory.
Not only can the top box hold two full-face helmets,
it also has a built in power socket for charging
of electrical items such as mobile phones and computers
while on the move. Further luggage space
can be found on the right hand side of the cockpit
and under the seat, where there is sufficient space
to store Triumph’s accessory U-lock. Further
soft luggage options are also available in the form
of tail
packs and tank bags.
Rider and pillion comfort was at the forefront of
the Sprint GT design brief and the dual seat is both
roomy and generously padded. A large grab rail is
also fitted as standard and doubles as a luggage
rack. New reflector type headlights have been developed
to ensure safe and assured ‘through the
night’ riding.
The Sprint GT’s high specification also includes
an onboard computer as part of the three-dial cockpit
layout, featuring a clock, fuel consumption, journey
time, range-to-empty and average speed readouts.
Two classy colour options are available for the 2011
Sprint GT: Aluminium Silver and Pacific Blue.
