Triumph Rocket 3

Triumph Rocket 3 Overview

The Rocket 3 is a large, high-torque cruiser for buyers who want a powerful machine for highway and weekend rides, rather than a light everyday commuter. Its 165 bhp and 221 Nm exceed the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob’s 92.5 bhp and 155 Nm, while the Rocket’s claimed 14.6 kmpl is below the Fat Bob’s claimed 18 kmpl. The BMW R 12 is much lighter at 227 kg and has a higher claimed mileage of 19.6 kmpl, compared with the Rocket’s 304 kg and claimed 14.6 kmpl.

The GT’s 750 mm seat is lower than the R’s 773 mm, though the listed Indian Chief models sit lower still. Dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels locking under hard braking, and cruise control is available. The weight and claimed mileage are important trade-offs. The R is priced below the Indian Super Chief Limited; both Rocket variants are priced above the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob and BMW R 12.
