With sheer force of presence, the Rocket III uses the world’s largest production motorcycle engine to deliver a simply stunning riding experience unmatched on two wheels. The Triumph Rocket III: believe in the unbelievable.

Configuration

The three big cylinders are arranged length-ways along the bike. To tame the reaction of the massive torque, the crankshaft counter-rotates so the bike stays steady when the throttle’s blipped.

Engine

With the world’s biggest production motorcycle engine the latest Rocket III Roadster builds on the huge performance of the original Rocket III but now with even more torque.

Power and Performance

The capacity of the Rocket III Roadster is huge, 2,294cc, and with a gut churning 221Nm at just 2,750rpm it has more torque at idle than most superbikes at full chat. The latest engine is unrestricted thereby delivering its full strength in the first three gears giving it almighty punch.

Shaft Drive

With a shaft drive that needs no maintenance outside the scheduled service intervals, you have a roadster that’s so reliable, durable and engaging that you could even go touring on it.

Technology

This is a premium motorcycle so we equipped it accordingly. In addition to the basic functions the instruments include fuel gauge, gear indicator, dual trip and clock. The signature massive twin headlights make a powerful style statement and light up the road ahead at night for safe riding. The advanced ABS brakes on the Rocket III Roadster are fitted as standard. This is a massive bike that comes with huge amounts of control.

Chassis

Frame

We developed the big, tubular steel twin spine design to be strong and rigid enough to contain this powerhouse of a motor and we focused on giving you an great level of agility too.

Handling

The Rocket III gives you low speed balance and beautifully neutral steering so when you’re faced with a twisty road you can be filled with confidence.

Suspension

We gave the front end sportsbike-style upside down forks 43mm in diametet, so they’re strong enough to cope with all the forces a bike like this can deal out.

Wheels/Tyres

The rear wheel width on the Rocket III is an awesome 240-section/240mm.

Brakes

A bike like this needs a pair of vice-like, four-piston calipers. The calipers grip the 320mm discs and are backed up by our advanced ABS system and a huge 316mm disc at the rear.

Rocket III Roadster Style

Few sights match the Rocket III Roadster’s visual impact. Instantly recognisable and guaranteed to draw a crowd wherever it’s parked, the Rocket III Roadster is the ultimate cruiser bike with a massive engine and triple chrome headers set against a blacked-out silhouette. Characteristic twin headlamps and chrome detailing add the finishing touches to its laid-back, brutal charm.

Accessories

Fog Lamp Kit

Built for functionality and style, the Fog Lamp Kit lights up the road when visibility is poor whilst maintaining the in-your-face attitude of this powerhouse.

Roadster Screen

Scratch resistant and provides optimal viewing thanks to its Quantum coated Lexan Polycarbonate properties, the Roadster Screen provides you with excellent wind protection.

Teardrop Mirrors

With a satin black finish, the Teardrop Mirrors-Black have been designed for excellent visibility and fit perfectly with the Rocket III Roadster’s dark and aggressive colour finish. Also available shaped Oval if Teardrop isn’t your style.
