In 1995, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint 900, a sport-touring motorcycle that debuted in 1991. The bike was manufactured until 1998 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire and was replaced by the Triumph Sprint RS and Sprint ST.
The 1995 machine followed the same recipe as previous models, packing the same visual, performance, and technical specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever. In addition, the bike packed the same chassis and engine as other models, such as the Trident 900 and Daytona 900.
The bike's aesthetic was identical to its predecessors, packing the same standard features, such as a half fairing with two round headlights, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
Underneath its fuel tank, the 1995 Triumph Sprint 900 had fitted an 885cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 99 hp at 9,500 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
The bike was built on a steel Trellis frame that packed a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.
The bike's wheels were fitted with two 310 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering strong stopping power.
