TRIUMPH SPRINT RS

The incredibly adaptable and well-rounded Sprint RS now reaps the benefits of exactly the same engine that powers the new Speed Triple. This capable all-rounder with a well-proven proven aluminium beam frame chassis can more than handle this power hike – up by 10bhp to 120bhp.

 This half-faired sportsbike has always been popular with riders who enjoy a degree of isolation from wind and weather, yet still like to see the heart of their machine. 

The Sprint RS’s new powerplant is identical to the new 955cc three-cylinder engine fitted to the new Speed Triple. With high-pressure die-cast crankcases for both strength and lightness, the DOHC 12-valve liquid-cooled engine’s new cylinder head employs 1mm larger inlet valves and 1mm smaller exhaust valves, set at a narrower included angle. Both inlet and exhaust ports are redesigned for better gas flow and new cast pistons run in steel liners.  The compression ratio is raised from 11.2:1 to 12:1 while crankcase breathing is revised to minimise power loss.  The new engine is a whole 2.5kg lighter than its predecessor.  

A larger, reshaped airbox feeds the new closed-loop fuel injection system, which features smaller, lighter injectors. The closed-loop system features an oxygen sensor that monitors and adjusts the air: fuel ratio at varying engine speeds to optimise engine performance, while compact, light plug-top ignition coils provide high intensity sparks. The fuel injection mapping is tuned for even more of the effortless mid-range torque that makes the Sprint RS so rewarding to ride.

As with the new Daytona 955i engine, the alternator is now located on the left-hand end of the crankshaft and the starter motor drive is located on the right. This layout, reduces noise, especially at idle as it eliminates the need for a gear train to drive the alternator.  A revised claw-type gear-change mechanism gives a much smoother and more positive shift action.  

The exhaust system has new headers and employs a balance-pipe to boost midrange output. For the German and Californian markets a secondary air injection system is fitted to minimise emissions.

Cooling and lubrication systems are revised with the coolant radiator featuring a thinner core, increasing efficiency without adding size or weight.  

The highly regarded chassis – rigid twin-spar aluminium frame, lightweight twin-sided swing arm, powerful brakes and efficient suspension – remains unchanged.   

For 2002 Acidic Yellow is added to the Jet Black colour option, replacing last year’s Lucifer Orange and Racing Yellow. 

Key Changes:

§         Second-generation fuel-injected engine delivering 120bhp and masses of midrange torque.

§         Closed loop fuel injection system for clean-burning, responsive performance.

§         Acidic Yellow colour option
