TRIUMPH Sprint GT (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint GT, a more touring-oriented motorcycle focused on two-up touring, with a more extended wheelbase, more weight, and better passenger provision.

At its core, the GT model packed a revised version of the 1,050 triple engine with an uprated Electronic Control Unit (ECU) producing slightly more power and torque, a modified throttle body, and a three-into-one side-mounted exhaust system that replaced the under-seat-mounted unit.

In the aesthetic department, the GT model was pretty similar to the ST version, packing standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, color-matched side-mounted hard panniers, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm cartridge-type adjustable Showa fork on the front with 127 mm wheel travel and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear with 152 mm wheel travel.

In the braking department, the bike packed two 320 mm floating discs with four-piston Nissin calipers on the front wheel and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston Nissin caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power with safety increased by the standard Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

Underneath its clothes, the 2010 Triumph Sprint GT had installed a 1,050cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 128 hp at 9,200 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 6,300 rpm.
