Rider Profile

Best ForSuits a rider with at least some prior experience who wants a torquey triple-powered sport tourer without extreme track intentions.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances briskly and comfortably, blending sporty handling with practical touring ability.
Rider FitA mid-size, moderately upright riding position that is manageable for average-height riders on long rides without excessive strain.
CharacterHas the charismatic, torque-rich pull typical of Triumph's three-cylinder engines, giving it a distinct sound and character compared to four-cylinder rivals.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a dedicated track weapon or an off-road capable machine.

2000 Triumph Sprint RS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2000 Triumph Sprint RS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
