2017 Triumph Rocket III Roadster

Chassis

• WHEELS/TYRES: The rear width on the Rocket III is an awesome 240-Section/240 mm.
• BRAKES: A bike like this needs a pair of vice-like, four-piston calipers. The calipers grip the 320 mm discs and are backed up by our advanced ABS system and a huge 316 mm disc at the rear.
• 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 a 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 sportbike-style upside down forks 43mm in diameter, so they’re strong enough to cope with all the forces a bike like this can deal out.

Features

• POWER AND PERFORMANCE: The capacity of the Rocket III is huge, 2,294cc, and with a gut churning 221 Nm 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.
• 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.
• TECHNOLOGY: This is a premium flagship motorcycle so we equipped it accordingly. all the instruments are all there for you, fuel gauge, gear indicator, dual trip and clock in addition to the basic functions. Then there's the signature massive twin headlights making a powerful style statement and lighting up the road ahead at night for safer 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.
