Triumph Rocket 3: This three-cylinder bike is as powerful as an SUV

British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph is gearing up to launch its latest offering in India, the Rocket 3. Triumph has increased the motorcycle’s engine capacity, taking it from a 2,300cc unit to a 2,500cc inline three-cylinder engine. It makes 167PS of maximum power and 221Nm of peak torque. It gets a brand-new aluminium frame, Showa-sourced fully adjustable suspension units on both ends and Brembo Stylema monobloc callipers to handle the braking duties.

Triumph has managed to shed 40 kilos from the previous model, giving the new Rocket 3 a better power-to-weight ratio. Triumph will be offering the motorcycle in two variants including the R and the GT. It will be placed in a segment of its own as it does not have an immediate rival in the country.
