Detail
New Sprint GT. All round entertainment.
The New Sprint GT. Five years after the introduction of the popular 1050cc Sprint ST sports tourer comes this new model. Greater practicality and more emphasis on the 'touring' aspect of 'sports touring', the New Sprint with the 'Grand Tourer' tag definitely keeps its edge. It offers a unique proposition of performance, practicality and price. Performance from the uprated 1050cc triple with 130PS on hand. Practicality - the GT's byword - with 117 litres of lugguage, ABS brakes, u-lock, built in rack and grab handle, and a 200 mile fuel range. Price? No one comes close.
| Performance: | Triumph's 1050cc triple engine uprated and good for 130PS, 108Nm of torque for greater everyday performance. The new ECU helps deliver smoother throttle response, more power and torque and improved fuel consumption. | |
| Handling and Comfort: | With the same twin-spar aluminium beam frame as the ST, plus uprated internals and a new chassis, the new Sprint GT combines Sports bike performance with two up all day touring comfort. | |
| Practicality: | Underseat storage and u-lock. Built in rack and grab handle. 200 mile fuel range. World class luggage handling with 31 litre helmet-swallowing panniers as standard. The Sprint GT is as practical as you need. | |
| Even More Practicality: | Triumph's Accessories division offers a full range of accessories for you to create your own GT. Start with a colour coded and powered top box. Check out the seating options, heated grips and taller aero screen. | |

Press Reviews
Triumph Sprint GT (2010-current) - MCN
Take Triumph’s superb Sprint ST (Sport Touring) and make it more adept at touring and also pillion friendly and what do you end up with? A Triumph Sprint GT (Grand Touring), that’s what. Sounds easy enough but in practice Triumph had to revise the Sprint’s chassis in a major way. So with a longer swingarm and steel subframe the GT becomes uber-stable when decked out with 117 litres of luggage, a pillion and 20 litres of juice. It goes further than that, though. Lower seat height, a wider, more comfortable pillion seat, built in grab rails on the topbox mounts and revised footpeg positions… and more. Does it all work, though? Yes, it does. It is comfy for pillion and rider – good enough for Triumph’s claimed 200 miles between fuel stops – the engine is flexible and grunty, steering is agile but stable and it can carry a week’s worth of clothing/toiletries with ease.
