New Triumph sprint race can

Post by Tyke »

Took the new Sprint out for a tootle today courtesy of Shylocks - Awesome on the Slug (pants) road, even on greasy roads like today :eek. The demonstrator's got a race can on, a Triumph own at £299 which seemed a bit steep - does anyone know of any other suppliers in the market yet?

Given the shape of it I reckon it's a good price, remember you get the tune to reprogram the ECU as well, therefore removing the need to set up a power commander. I don't know of any other companies making them, although keep an eye out for "Arrow" as they have teamed up with triumph to do a full system for the 675 so they might do others for the rest of the range.

Sounds like his kinda route, he'll be timing himself to Kintore via Hatton of Fintray against the kwak. My money's on the kwak!

you have obviously seen todays MCN , CBR600 (newer vastly improved model than yours ;) ) comes very last in the all new 600 SS shootout , they describe it as "old fashioned" , how quaint :I can't believe it's not butter!
