Triumph Rocket 3 with multi-spoke cast Aluminium wheels lands to blaze the South African roads

The Triumph Rocket 3 has landed in South Africa in a big way. It has been empowered by the world’s largest producer of the motorcycle engine.

In 2004 the Rocket 3 joggled up the cruiser motorcycle market when it was initially launched with a 2300 cc engine, but now in 2020, this super-cruiser has landed with a 2500 cc engine.

The new lightweight multi-spoke cast aluminium wheels developed the bold look, with the Rocket 3 R’s wheels featuring a blacked-out finish, while the Rocket 3 GT model goes one step further with exposed machining on the rim and spokes.

The triple-cylinder hunk delivers 221Nm to make it reach its highest torque of any bike engine, aligned with 123kW of power. This makes Triumph to match up to its acceleration with a supercar. The equipped big engine in the bike sheds more than 40kg to enhance the power-to-weight ratio.

The Rocket 3 super-cruiser is obtainable in two models; a 3 R performance roadster and a touring-orientated 3 GT with handlebars shaped for better long-distance comfort.

The bike is finished with classy detailing including brushed stainless steel, aluminium Monza-style cap, and machined fins on the crankcases.
