TRIUMPH Sprint GT (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint GT, a more touring-oriented machine than the ST version. The GT model Debuted in 2010, five years after the British maker released the redesigned Sprint ST model.

Compared to the Sprint ST, the GT version featured several modifications to better suit two-up capabilities, including a longer wheelbase, additional weight, and a better pillion provision.

In the performance department, the GT model featured a revised 1,050cc engine with an uprated Electronic Control Unit (ECU), a modified throttle intake body, and replaced the triple under-seat-mounted exhaust system with a side-mounted three-into-one unit.

Over its production period, the GT model remained essentially unchanged. After 2014, the bike was no longer available outside the British market, but from 2017, the Triumph Sprint GT SE was still in production inside the UK.

The bike's visual appearance was similar to the ST model, packing standard features, such as a full fairing with a windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with pillion grab rails, side-mounted hard panniers for extra storage, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

In the performance department, the 2011 Triumph Sprint GT had installed underneath its fuel tank a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine controlled by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 128 hp at 9,200 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength at 6,300 rpm.
