Triumph Sprint Rs
The Triumph Sprint Rs has a top speed of approximately 225 km/h, produces 104 hp and weighs 215 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
Triumph Sprint RS був представлений у 1999 році як спортивно-туристичний похідний від Sprint ST, який має той самий рядний трициліндровий двигун 955 куб. см, але з більш агресивною, орієнтованою на спорт позицією та стилем. Він позиціонувався як середина між прямими спортивними велосипедами та більш орієнтованим на комфорт Sprint ST, привабливим для гонщиків, які хотіли спортивних характеристик з певними можливостями туризму. Виробництво тривало до 2004 року, і це запам'ятовується як одне з найбільш харизматичних виразів сучасної трициліндрової епохи Triumph.

Що повинні знати покупці
Watch the Coolant Hoses
Older Sprint RS models (1999-2004) are known for deteriorating coolant hoses and water pump seals — always inspect these before buying. A pre-purchase coolant system check can save you hundreds in repairs.
Strong Resale Stability
The Sprint RS holds its value reasonably well in the used sport-tourer market due to its loyal Triumph following and relatively low production numbers. Well-maintained examples with service history command noticeably higher prices.
Unique Triple Engine Character
The 955cc inline-triple engine delivers a distinctive torque curve that outperforms comparable four-cylinder rivals in mid-range pull, making it genuinely versatile for both commuting and longer tours. This engine is considered one of Triumph's most charismatic and reliable units from that era.
Покоління та характеристики за роками
Вбудована потрійна одностороння гойдалка потужністю 955 куб. см, обтічник, натхненний гоночним мотивом, перевернуті вилки, представлений як більш спортивний варіант Sprint.
"Потрійна, завдяки якій спортивні велосипеди звучали нудно."
Ця трійка 955 тягне, як вантажний поїзд з 4000 об/хв, і звучить абсолютно брудно, роблячи це - ніщо японське не наближається до цієї ноти вихлопних газів. Протягом трьох років я проїхав 18 000 миль на своїх дорогах, переважно на А-дорогах і час від часу на трасі, і шасі жодного разу не відчувалось поза глибиною; вилки USD добре гасовані, а одностороння поворотна рука - не просто демонстраційний елемент. Чесні слабкі сторони: обтічник дозволяє серйозній кількості вітру вдарити по грудях вище 100 миль/год, заправка в місті дратівливо зростає, а ранні велосипеди мали неприємну звичку їсти натягувачі кулачкових ланцюгів, якщо ви пропустили послуги. Наявність запчастин зараз посилюється, і дилерська мережа Triumph завжди була нерівною - бюджет на це перед покупкою.

"A characterful, rewarding buy if you choose carefully and budget wisely."
$2,500-$5,500 usedThe Sprint RS is one of Triumph's genuinely overlooked gems from the early 2000s. That 955cc triple pulls like a train from 3,000rpm and sounds absolutely savage with an aftermarket can — it's the kind of engine that makes you forget modern bikes exist. Handling is sorted too; the RSs got better suspension geometry than the standard Sprint ST, and it shows through sweeping A-roads where it feels planted and confidence-inspiring rather than nervous. That said, buy with your eyes open. These are 20-plus-year-old bikes now, and the fuel injection mapping on early models was notoriously flat below 4,000rpm — annoying in traffic. Cooling fans fail silently, rectifiers fry and kill batteries overnight, and fork seals on unmaintained examples will be weeping. Budget £300-400 immediately for consumables regardless of what the seller tells you. Service history matters enormously here — find a fastidious previous owner or walk away.
