It may sound like a cliché, but Triumph’s
Rocket III Roadster truly is a unique motorcycle with
massive presence and a legendary powerplant.
With its 2,294cc three-cylinder engine, the Rocket
III Roadster is home to the world’s largest
production motorcycle engine. Delivering a 221Nm wallop
of torque at just 2750rpm, the Rocket III Roadster
delivers a riding experience unmatched by anything
else on two wheels.
Although featuring in Triumph’s Cruiser range,
the Rocket III Roadster transcends genres. With its
mid-mounted pegs and relatively upright riding position,
the Roadster takes on a streetfighter stance and delivers
an attitude-laden ride that every motorcyclist should
experience at least once in their two-wheeled career.
Shrinking violets need not apply.
The ergonomics ensure that the Roadster delivers
a completely different riding experience to any other
Rocket IIIs and one that is easier to hustle through
the corners. With a plush seat for both rider and
pillion, and comfortable and controllable rear suspension,
the Rocket III Roadster is capable of covering long
distances with aplomb.
As you would expect from a flagship model, the Rocket
III Roadster comes highly equipped as standard, with
a comprehensive instrumentation including fuel gauge,
gear selection indicator and clock, 43mm upside down
front forks, adjustable rear suspension, low maintenance
shaft drive and sophisticated anti lock brakes as
standard.
Up front, the Rocket III Roadster sports Triumph’s
trademark twin headlights to make this imposing motorcycle
even more striking, while the components carefully
balance black and chrome to create an aggressive stripped
down look.
The Rocket III Roadster also comes with the option
of special colour options. In addition to the popular
metallic Phantom Black comes in two flamboyant colour
schemes: Phantom Red Haze and Phantom Blue Haze. These
are hand painted in Triumph’s Hinckley factory
and contain high sparkle content which create an impression
of incredible depth in sunlight, transforming from
near black to a vibrant red or blue.
