Triumph Motorcycles updated the machine and it now knowns as The Triumph Rocket 3 which is available in two variants, the Rocket 3 R and the Rocket 3 GT. The former is the base, street-oriented option, while the latter adds cruising-related features.
The inline-triple powerhouse at the heart of this motorcycle is the largest capacity engine ever on a production motorcycle. The 2,458cc unit produces a tire-shredding 165 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque. This is enough to propel the 641.5 lbs (dry) Rocket 3 R to 62mph (100kph) in just 2.79 seconds.
Equipped with a 47mm USD fork with compression and rebound adjustability and a fully adjustable Showa monoshock. Top-spec Brembo Stylema calipers handle braking at the front, and the bike comes with cornering ABS as standard. Other features include a TFT display that lets you toggle between four rider modes — Rain, Road, Sport, and a Rider-configurable mode — and check critical ride and motorcycle information.
The bikes are mechanically identical to their standard offerings but feature some styling tweaks to celebrate the power-cruiser’s peak torque output — 221 Nm. These cosmetic changes include a ‘Red Hopper’ color scheme, 221 branding on the knee pads, blacked-out fender brackets, headlight bowl, windscreen, and side panels.
The Triumph Rocket 3 starts at $23,400 USD
