The Triumph Sprint RS was a half-naked version of the Sprint ST model, with essentially the same chassis and engine and a lighter dual-sided swingarm, making the bike eight kg (18 lbs) lighter than its sibling.

In 2002, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint RS, a half-naked machine featuring several modifications in performance and visual departments, boosting its performance and looks.

For the 2002 year model, the maker introduced a second-generation closed-loop fuel injection system that boosted the power to 120 hp and delivered fewer emissions, a reshaped airbox, smaller and lighter injectors, an oxygen sensor, and the same exhaust system with new headers.

In addition, the maker introduced a new color option, Acidic Yellow, that replaced the previous Lucifer Orange and Racing Blue, joining the single color remaining Jet Black.

Underneath its half fairing, the 2002 Triumph Sprint RS had installed a 955 cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 120 hp at 9,100 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 5,100 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch linked to the rear wheel through a final X-ring chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 238 kph (148 mph).

From top speed to zero, the bike was trusted in 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.
