Triumph Rocket 3 R

Triumph has commenced deliveries of its Rocket 3 R roadster in India. The Rocket 3 was launched in December 2019 and within a month, the British bikemaker has sold out the first batch of 40 units of the motorcycle. Bookings for the second batch are open with deliveries scheduled for February- March.

The all-new Triumph Rocket 3 R costs Rs 18 lakh (ex-showroom India) and is available in two colours: red and black. There are no natural rivals for this performance cruiser but the Ducati Diavel 1260 and the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob come close.

The motorcycle is powered by a 2500cc inline three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which produces 167PS and 221Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission linked to a final shaft drive. There are multiple electronic aids like four rider modes, cornering ABS, traction control and even hill-hold control as standard.
