2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster[edit | edit source]
The 2009 Triumph Rocket III Roadster is a muscle bike icon. It brings together the comfortable upright riding stance of a commuter or fighter and the sportbike-like performance for an exhilarating two=wheeled experience. This model year is the first one to receive ABS as standard and the system has been designed especially to provide reliable stopping power for this beast.
With may components painted black, the 2009 Rocket III Roadster also looks meaner then ever, with upgraded dual silencers and uncompromising styling to match the insane thrust.
2011 Triumph Rocket III Roadster[edit | edit source]
Marrying the upright riding position of a streetfighter and cruiser looks, both under the blessing of the biggest production motorcycle engine led to the Triumph Rocket III, a muscle bike with a class of its own. Massive, mean and quite a good scare for the faint of heart, the 2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster brings refined comfort, redesigned suspensions and revised rear springs, new exhausts and even more torque on tap.
With the iconic dual headlight mixes both modern an retro looks and the popular metallic Phantom Black livery is now complemented by the Phantom Red Haze and Phantom Blue Haze new colors.
2013 Triumph Rocket III Roadster[edit | edit source]
The iconic, beastly 2.3-liter engine of the amazing Rocket III Roadster got even more nerve in 2012, with the first three gears delivering now more grunt for the bold rider. One of the most insane production bikes around, the Rocket III blasts 221 Nm of torque and that's more than any one needs for effortless passing at any speed.
Modern ABS is linked to generous brake rotors to help tame this monster, while the adjustable suspensions make sure you'll keep both wheels on the ground in any scenario.
2014 Triumph Rocket III Roadster[edit | edit source]
Sporting one of the largest displacements in the production motorcycle world, the 2014 MY Triumph Rocket III Roadster comes with even more brute force in the first three gears, after all restrictions have been lifted from the engine. Its liquid-cooled, four-stroke,2294cc, longitudinal three cylinder powerplant produces 146 horsepower and a gut-churning 221 Nm of torque.
Also, the 2014 MY has received some visual upgrades, consisting of blackened radiator cowls, rear mudguard rails, airbox cover, fork protectors and mirrors, which make the already awe-inspiring machine even more so.
2015 Triumph Rocket III Roadster[edit | edit source]
The huge, massively-powerful, 2.3 liter powerhouse on the 2015 MY Triumph Rocket III Roadster produces 146 horsepower and a stomach-churning 221 Nm of torque, which can be felt even more in the first three gears, as a result of the removal of all engine restrictions. And even though the presentation video of the Roadster shows that all of its 320 kg of dry weight can be lifted up on the rear wheel, a sophisticated suspension system and a well-designed and balanced chassis ensure you remain with both wheels on the road, no matter the scenario.
And, to ensure that all that power can be safely contained and brought to a stop, the Hinckley firm have fitted it with 320mm dual front brake discs and a single 316mm rear disc break, also fitted with standard ABS.
