Triumph Sprint ST Specs, News, and Review

2011 Triumph Sprint ST

The new 2011 Triumph Sprint ST has been given a number of improvements to ensure it remains one of the world’s favourite sports-tourers. Updates include new reflector-style triple headlight unit; re-designed cockpit; the same stunning 1050cc inline triple engine, but with latest spec ECU for ultra-smooth throttle response.

Sportier than the Triumph Sprint GT, the Triumph Sprint ST is set to become even more attractive thanks to its new ultra-competitive price.

Sports. Touring. Two words which equally describe Triumph’s great all-rounder.

Equally capable of crossing continents or taking on a track day, the 2011 Triumph Sprint ST is one of those rare contradictions, a compromise without compromise.

Triumph’s addictive 1050cc triple has been tuned to deliver 127PS, with seamless drive from low rpm. Striking details like the single-sided swingarm, triple outlet underseat exhaust and aerodynamic three headlight cockpit give the 2011 Triumph Sprint ST a distinctive sporting look, while colour matched panniers, ergonomic seat design and optional ABS give the Sprint ST its outstanding practicality.

A comprehensive range of official Triumph accessories including colour matched top box, centre stand, aero screen, gel seat, heated grips and electrical output sockets further add to the Sprint ST’s touring practicality. Like all Triumph’s the 2011 Triumph Sprint ST comes with a two year unlimited mileage warranty although, as winner of Motorrad’s 50,000km endurance test in 2007, we don’t expect you will need it.
