TRIUMPH ROCKET 3 GT OVERVIEW
Triumph Rocket 3 GT is a cruiser bike available in India. It gets a 2458cc BS6 engine with astonishing performance and presence, incredible comfort, and laid-back cruiser riding capability. This Superbike weighs 294 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 18liters.
While the R variant is the sportier of the two, GT is the more touring-focused trim with few differences over the former. It gets a taller windscreen, a swept-back handlebar, a cushier seat, adjustable forward-set footpegs, and a pillion backrest for added comfort over the R model. The GT iteration also boasts diamond-cut alloy wheels and comes in different colour options.
The new Rocket 3 GT is also more modern in electronics than its predecessor. The twin-pod, semi-analogue instrument cluster replaces a full-colour TFT display which pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth. Furthermore, it features gizmos like traction control, cornering ABS, hill-hold control, and four riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, and Rider-Configurable mode).
Triumph Rocket 3 GT is propelled by a 2458cc, inline three-cylinder engine that churns out 167bhp and 221Nm of torque is the highest ever from a production bike. In terms of cycle parts, it comes equipped with inverted forks and a mono-shock sourced from Showa, while Brembo brakes bring the bike to a halt.
Triumph’s Rocket 3 has held the title of being the largest displacement production motorcycle ever built. And the latest version of the bike retains this crown with an even larger powerplant over its predecessor. It is available in 3 colours – Phantom Black, Black (Special edition), and Silver Ice and Storm Gray.
