Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some prior experience, as the torquey triple and substantial weight reward confident, deliberate inputs.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sporty triple-cylinder performance with genuine touring practicality.
Rider FitAt 265 kg with an 815 mm seat height, it demands a reasonably fit and taller rider, especially at low speeds or when loaded with luggage.
CharacterA muscular in-line triple gives strong midrange torque and a distinctive growl, wrapped in a sport-touring chassis that favors stability over razor-sharp agility.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for novice riders, short-inseam riders, or anyone seeking a lightweight, nimble machine for tight city streets or off-road use.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Triumph Sprint GT, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
