Possessing a level of performance and handling never previously seen among cruisers, the Triumph Rocket III has set the new benchmark for the power cruiser class. At the heart of Rocket III is a 2,294cc, fuel-injected, three-cylinder engine, which pumps out an incredible 200Nm of torque at a mere 2,500rpm, with a matching peak output of 140bhp. This impressive performance is harnessed by shaft drive and put down to the road via a massive 240-section rear tyre, making the Rocket III one of the fastest accelerating production motorcycles ever built. Housing the Rocket III's engine is an equally impressive chassis. A low centre of gravity, generous ground clearance, great brakes and relaxed, comfortable ergonomics, make the Rocket III easy to handle and hugely enjoyable to ride. Awesome is an over-used word - except when applied to the Rocket III. Then it seems only just adequate.
