Sprint ST

2002 Triumph Sprint ST Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Triumph for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2002 Triumph Sprint ST relies on a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 118 HP (86.1 kW) at 9,100 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 5,100 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 123.6 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,100 rpm) and peak power (9,100 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Sprint ST measures 207 kg (456 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.57 HP/kg (1.75 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19.5-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
