2009 Triumph Sprint ST



It doesn’t take long to understand why the Sprint ST is so highly acclaimed by the world’s press and its owners alike as a class leading sports tourer.

Sporting credentials are confirmed by details including single sided swing arm with inboard rear disc, under seat exhaust system, twin floating front discs with 4 piston callipers, six speed gearbox and a tuned version of our unique fuel injected 1050cc triple now giving 127bhp and 107Nm of torque.

Mile eating capabilities are equally well catered for. Aerodynamic full fairing, ergonomic seat design, colour matched, waterproof hard case panniers as standard, fuel gauge, 20 litre tank, trip computer and optional ABS all contribute to a practicality and versatility that few rivals can keep up with.

The Sprint ST won Motorrad’s 2007 50,000 km endurance test and 2008 Touring awards adding to the many reasons why this Triumph is a special and unique motorcycle in every respect.


Features & Benefits

Engine
The Sprint ST houses a fantastic 1050cc fuel injected three-cylinder engine, the very essence of what makes a Triumph special. The engine has huge reserves of torque and horsepower. Peak power is an impressive 127PS (125bhp) at 9250rpm while peak torque of 105Nm (77ft.lbf) arrives at just 7500rpm. Enhancing the engine is a smooth six-speed gearbox and clutch fitted with an anti-backlash gear. The Sprint ST comes with Triumph’s Keihin ECU offering sophisticated mapping for quicker starting, cleaner running and fuel economic engine.
