TRIUMPH Sprint GT Special Edition (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint GT Special Edition. The bike was fitted as standard with all the features and technology any touring machine should have.

The Sprint GT debuted in 2010 and was a more touring-oriented machine than the sportier Sprint ST. The GT model featured several modifications and additions, enhancing its touring and two-up capabilities.

Compared to the ST model, the GT version had a longer wheelbase, better passenger provision, and more weight due to additional changes. Over its production period, the GT model remained essentially unchanged.

In the aesthetic department, the special edition model packed many features as standard, including a full fairing, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a top box with an integrated passenger backrest, side-mounted lockable and 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 and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.

The braking power was achieved by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.

Underneath its full dress, the 2015 Triumph Sprint GT Special Edition had installed a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 128 hp at 9,200 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 6,300 rpm.
