Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who want a confident, torquey machine for covering long distances.
PurposeBuilt for eating up highway miles and weekend touring routes with load-carrying comfort rather than track-day thrills.
Rider FitIts 265 kg wet weight and 815mm seat height mean shorter or less experienced riders may find slow-speed maneuvers and parking a bit demanding.
CharacterA refined, torque-rich triple-powered sport tourer that blends strong midrange performance with plush, long-haul comfort and standard touring amenities.
Not Ideal ForNot a great fit for new riders seeking a light, nimble first bike or for anyone wanting a dedicated off-road or track-focused machine.

2016 Triumph Sprint GT SE Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Triumph Sprint GT SE, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
