2023 Triumph ROCKET 3 R CHROME EDITION

1. 2,500CC - WORLD’S LARGEST PRODUCTION MOTORCYCLE ENGINE

The previous generation Rocket already held the distinction of having the world’s largest production motorcycle engine (previously 2,300cc), but this next generation Rocket 3 lineup raised the bar even higher with an 2,500cc Triumph triple which delivers an even higher capacity and performance.  Incredible design innovations have found 39.68 lb engine weight savings over its predecessor with mass-optimized crankcase assembly, a lubrication system comprising dry sump and integral oil tank, and balancer shafts.  What’s more, this powerplant masterpiece is exquisitely engineered, with beautiful finish and detailing throughout including stunning machined fins on both the upper and lower crankcases.

2. INCREDIBLE ACCELERATION AND TORQUE

The Rocket 3’s performance figures have elevated this incredible motorcycle range up to a whole new level. The Rocket’s peak power (165 HP @ 6,000 rpm) is 11% up on the predecessor Rocket and the engine generates an increase in power from 3,500 rpm and all the way up to the higher red line of 7,000 rpm.  Peak torque – 163 LB-FT at 4,000 rpm – is a world best and a figure that’s a breathtaking 71% higher than the Rocket’s closest competitor and higher than the previous generation across almost the entire rev range.  In practical riding terms, this translates to an acceleration figure of 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds.

3. INCREDIBLE HANDLING

An extremely high level of equipment specification contributes to the incredible handling and comfort of the Rocket 3 R and GT.  This includes high-spec adjustable Showa front and rear suspension setups, and a cutting-edge Brembo brakes setup with the highest available specification Brembo Stylema® calipers to deliver an incredible braking performance and immediate response.  The mass optimized aluminum frame of the Rocket 3 lineup is an unwelded construction that has premium cast and forged components, making the frame lighter and contributing to a massive 88.18 lb weight saving compared to the predecessor Rocket.  In addition, optimized cornering ABS and traction control, which is supported by an Inertial Measurement Unit developed with Continental, provide an enhanced level of riding stability to ensure optimum brake force, optimized slip rate and torque control that improves both straight line and cornering, acceleration and braking.

4. DOMINATING PRESENCE
