Triumph Sprint ST/ABS

As an all-round sports-touring motorcycle the Sprint ST has all the right ingredients yet at the same time is much more than the sum of its parts, combining real riding pleasure with real-world practicality.

The Sprint ST’s 1050cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder six-speed engine is fuel-injected, naturally, and tuned for a well-rounded and seamless power delivery. A great deal of the ST’s charm emanates from its distinctive, soulful and ever-willing power unit. And with a peak power output of 125PS (123bhp) at 9,250 rpm it’s exhilarating in equal measure.

The twin-spar aluminium frame and single-sided swing-arm also play a major part in the ST’s appeal. As do the 43mm forks (adjustable for spring preload) and rear mono-shock (adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping) as they ensure measured, reassuring handling whether two-up and fully loaded, or flying a solo sporting mission. Add powerful, four-piston brakes up front and the ST’s chassis provides a remarkable platform for a hugely fun, yet useful, usable, bike.

For 2006 the Triumph Sprint ST is also available with ABS! Including a dramatic cosmetic makeover, inside and out! The styling is all new, and very much Triumph. Five spoke wheels, underseat exhaust are now standard. There is a growing list of performance and comfort accessories coming available for this model.

With two colour options – Sunset Red, Caspian Blue, and Aluminium Silver – the Sprint ST remains the shrewd choice of any rider looking for a versatile, all-round motorcycle.
