The Heart: Does Torque Beat Horsepower?
The engine is a 440 cc long-stroke single-cylinder (88.4 mm stroke), air-and-oil cooled. The numbers are clear: 27 HP and 38 Nm of peak torque.
Editor-in-Chief’s View: In a market where the Triumph Speed 400 boasts 40 HP and featherweight mass, the Sprint is playing a different game. It doesn't chase raw performance, but rather "feel": peak torque at just 4,000 rpm suggests a relaxed ride, characterized by immediate grunt at stoplights without having to punish the 6-speed gearbox. It is a risky choice for Europe, where competition is fierce, but one that is consistent with the brand's identity.
