TRIUMPH Sprint ST (1999-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Sprint ST was a sport-touring machine manufactured on British land by Triumph in 1999. The bike was introduced as a complete redesign of the earlier Sprint 900 made from 1991 to 1998 and was designed by Rod Scivyer.

The bike was powered by a 955cc three-cylinder engine, also found on the Speed Triple and Daytona models, but with a slight twist, being tuned for smoother power delivery. The bike has remained essentially unchanged since its release.

In 1999, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint ST, a track-inspired machine fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with two roundish headlights, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a tree-into-one exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike's suspension comprised a 43 mm cartridge-type adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a rebound and damping-adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 1999 Triumph Sprint ST had installed underneath its fuel tank a 955cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 110 hp at 9,200 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.
