2021 Triumph Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 GT Triple Black

Triumph has just introduced two limited edition models of the Rocket 3. Namely, the Triumph Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 GT Triple Black will be limited to just 1,000 units (each) worldwide. Sold with their own certificate of authenticity, the Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 GT Triple Black deliver extra exclusivity for anyone who wants extra oomph.

Speaking of the bikes, the Triumph Rocket 3 R Black and Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black get an array of exclusive aesthetic touches. Starting with the paint scheme, the Rocket 3 R Black gets an aggressive matte and floss all-black paint scheme meanwhile the Rocket 3 GT Triple Black gets a distinctive three-shade paint scheme.

The premium “blacked-out” theme is also found on the headlight bezels, radiator cowls, flyscreen finishers and rear bodywork finishers of both models.

Moreover, black-anodized parts such as the fold-away passenger footrests, swinging arm guard, rear suspension rocker, side stand, bar-end mirrors, footrests, heel guards, hangers, and brake pedal bring more detail to these special edition models. Besides this, the high-specification Showa forks, risers and handlebar clamps get the same black colour treatment as well. Finally, the addition of components like the carbon-fibre front mudguard further enhances the premium feel of these special bikes.

Standard specifications:

Besides these aesthetic touches, the limited edition models do not get any mechanical updates. Having said that, the specifications remain unchanged from the standard Rocket 3. Powered by a 2,458cc inline 3-cylinder engine, the Rocket 3 pushes 167 PS (164.7 hp) @ 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 221 Nm @ 4,000 rpm.

In the case of suspension, Showa 47mm upside-down cartridge front forks and a fully-adjustable Showa monoshock take care of suspension duties. Braking is done via dual 320mm disc with Brembo M4.30 Stylema 4-piston radially mounted callipers up front and a single 300mm disc with Brembo M4.32 4-piston calliper at the rear.  In the case of electronics and rider aids, the standard Rocket 3 electronics and features such as the TFT multi-functional instrument display, 5 rider modes, RWB and cornering ABS are carried forward as well.
