Latest Updates
Tuesday, 12 November 2024 09:14 AM The Triumph Rocket 3 R 221 Special Edition has been unveiled, celebrating the bikes world-leading 221 Newton meters of torque. This special edition features a unique paint scheme, including a Red Hopper fuel tank and front mudguard, along with Sapphire Black accents on other body parts. The bike retains all the performance and technological features of the standard Rocket 3 R, including the 2,500cc triple engine and optimized cornering ABS. I believe this special edition will be a hit among enthusiasts who crave both style and performance.
Friday, 23 June 2023 02:48 PM Triumph has announced the Rocket 3 Storm R and GT models, which are expected to be significant updates to the Rocket 3 lineup. These new models are speculated to be more powerful and feature-enhanced versions of the existing Rocket 3 R and GT. The updates might include new color schemes, additional accessories, and possibly some mechanical tweaks. I think these new models will further solidify Triumphs position in the high-performance motorcycle market.
Wednesday, 15 March 2023 08:10 PM The Rocket 3 R and GT models now come with new blacked-out limited editions, featuring premium black anodised components and a sleek new design. These editions include black painted headlight bezels, fly screen finishers, and other cosmetic upgrades. The bikes retain their powerful 2,500cc triple engines and advanced technology features like optimized cornering ABS and traction control. I think these blacked-out editions add a touch of elegance and menace to the already impressive Rocket 3 lineup.
Monday, 20 February 2023 03:15 PM Triumph has introduced the My Triumph connectivity system for the Rocket 3 R, allowing riders to integrate their smartphones and other devices via Bluetooth. This system enables features like turn-by-turn navigation, GoPro interaction, and phone and music operation directly through the bikes TFT display. I believe this technology enhancement will significantly improve the riding experience and convenience for Rocket 3 R owners.
Sunday, 06 October 2019 10:45 AM The Triumph Rocket 3 R has set a new record for 0-60 mph acceleration, achieving the feat in just 2.73 seconds. This record was set on the Cartagena track in Spain and highlights the bikes incredible acceleration and handling capabilities. The record-breaking attempt was supported by Triumphs engineering team and British tyre manufacturer Avon. I believe this record showcases the Rocket 3 Rs exceptional performance and handling, making it a standout in its class.
Mileage
Monday, 18 November 2024 05:17 PM The mileage of the Triumph Rocket 3 R in India is a practical consideration for any potential buyer. Given its large 2458cc engine, the fuel efficiency is not its strongest suit. The claimed fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, but real-world conditions can vary. In practice, you can expect to get around 200-230 kilometers from the 18-liter fuel tank, which is somewhat lackluster for long-distance touring. However, if youre looking for a bike that offers blistering performance and are willing to compromise on fuel efficiency, the Rocket 3 R still stands out. For those who prioritize power over economy, the occasional fuel stop is a small price to pay for the exhilarating ride this bike provides.

My fav bike ever

Sukhmandeep Kaur | 2 years ago

I got a fan of it due to its engine which is approx 2500cc , its look it very different from others that make fall for it. The back look of this bike is similar to many sports bikes but due to its exhaust, it gives a whole another level of chill. But I'm a little bit disappointed by the headlights of this bike. But after all, this bike stole my heart......

Only negative of this bike is the mini TFT display...really unacceptable for a bike of this caliber. needs to be at least double the current size, it's nearly impossible to read.
