Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least a season or two of experience, given the torquey triple and substantial mass at low speed.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances briskly and comfortably rather than chasing lap times.
Rider FitA taller, sturdier rider will feel most at home managing its 215kg dry weight and 780mm seat height, especially at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterThe in-line triple gives a distinctive mid-range growl and pull, offering a character between smooth four-cylinder refinement and raw twin torque.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight commuter or anyone planning off-road excursions.

1996 Triumph Sprint 900 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1996 Triumph Sprint 900, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
