2017 Triumph Rocket III Roadster

With the worlds biggest production motorcycle engine the latest Rocket III Roadster builds on the huge performance of the original Rocket III but now with even more torque.

The 2.3 litre, three-cylinder engine is designed to be an arm-wrenching thrill to ride, yet easy and unintimidating too, despite its thunderous roar. Its sweet handling chassis, rigid frame and sophisticated suspension gives you the confidence to sweep through corners and change direction with an agility that belies this Roadsters size.

The latest Rocket III features blackened components including radiator cowls, rear mudguard rails, airbox cover, fork protectors, and mirrors giving our Roadster an even more menacing look.

Theres nothing else like it out there, not to look at, nor to ride.

Extraordinary. Unique. Ultimate. Legendary. Everything youve heard about the Triumph Rocket III is true. With sheer force of presence, the Rocket III uses the worlds largest production motorcycle engine to deliver a simply stunning riding experience unmatched on two wheels. The Triumph Rocket III: believe in the unbelievable.

The capacity of the Rocket III Roadster is huge, 2,294cc, and with a gut churning 221Nm 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.

With a shaft drive that needs no maintenance outside the scheduled service intervals, you have a roadster thats so reliable, durable and engaging that you could even go touring on it.

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 throttles blipped.

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 theres 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 Roaster are fitted as standard. This is a massive bike that comes with huge amounts of control.

• Wheels/Tyres

The rear wheel width on the Rocket III is an awesome 240-section/240mm.

• Brakes

A bike like this needs a pair of vice-like, four-piston calipers. The calipers grip the 320mm discs and are backed up by our advanced ABS system and a huge 316mm 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 an great level of agility too.

• Suspension

We gave the front end sportsbike-style upside down forks 43mm in diametet, so theyre strong enough to cope with all the forces a bike like this can deal out.

Few sights match the Rocket III Roadsters visual impact. Instantly recognisable and guaranteed to draw a crowd wherever its parked, the Rocket III Roadster is the ultimate cruiser bike with a massive engine and triple chrome headers set against a blacked-out silhouette. Characteristic twin headlamps and chrome detailing add the finishing touches to its laid-back, brutal charm.
