Combining classic touring cruiser style with the
awesome performance of the legendary 2.3 litre Rocket
III engine, the Rocket III Touring has been designed
specifically for riders who demand serious long haul
capabilities.
At the heart of the Rocket III Touring is Triumph’s
iconic 2,294cc triple, which has been tuned specifically
for the needs of the touring rider. The engine delivers
a mighty 203Nm of torque through the low maintenance
shaft drive system at just 2000rpm, making overtaking
in any gear safe and effortless, even when fully
laden with passenger and luggage. Triumph has also
endowed the Rocket III Touring with its advanced anti-lock
braking system, offering additional security for riders
whatever the conditions.
The Rocket III Touring’s chassis has also
been developed specifically for its intended purpose
and helps deliver a surprisingly nimble ride, thanks
to the low centre of gravity, 16” wheels and
180 section rear tyre. Rider and passenger comfort
is paramount with the Rocket III Touring. The well
appointed seat is constructed using two separate layers
of cushioning of different densities, with the pillion
also benefiting from an additional gel layer for supreme
comfort and ‘day long’ capability. The
finely tuned suspension has been developed with comfort
and control in mind, while comfort and practicality
are enhanced with the standard fitment of quick release
screen and 36-litre panniers.
The high specification continues with the adoption
of an analogue fuel gauge and LCD clock and trip computer,
all mounted alongside the speedometer in the stylish
tank-mounted chrome nacelle.
Teardrop shaped rider and passenger footboards are
also a standard feature, while a long list of optional
accessories allows riders to create the Rocket III
Touring they want. Accessories include alternative
touring screens, sissy bars, racks and auxiliary lamps,
as well as a host of chrome and leather items to make
this already distinctive motorcycle even more striking.
The Triumph Rocket III Touring comes in two classic
colour options: metallic Phantom Black with hand painted
silver coach lining or a two-tone Phantom Black with
Crystal White infills and gold coach lining.
