Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want strong, usable power without a full-on supersport edge.
PurposeBuilt for fast, comfortable long-distance riding with the ability to carve up twisty roads along the way.
Rider FitA moderately heavy machine that rewards riders of average to taller height and reasonable strength at low speed maneuvers.
CharacterA refined, torquey triple-powered sport tourer that blends everyday usability with genuine performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for off-road adventures, novice riders, or anyone wanting an ultra-light, flickable city commuter.

2001 Triumph Sprint ST Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Triumph Sprint ST, 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.
