The Triumph Rocket 3 is already a gigantic and mean-looking motorcycle. Now, to make the ultimate muscle roadster look even meaner, Triumph has introduced the new black edition. As the name suggests, the Triumph Rocket 3 Black comes with several blacked-out parts which impart an angrier visual appeal to the motorcycle.
The new Triumph Rocket 3 Black flaunts its
distinctive matte and gloss all-black paint scheme with black tank badges and
branding. The overall look of the motorcycle has been enhanced by the use of
blacked-out parts and components that add to the bike’s aggressive and dominant
styling.
To begin with, the Triumph Rocket 3
Black’s headlight bezel, fly screen finishers, radiator cowls, seat finishers,
rear bodywork, rear frame forging, swingarm guard, side stand; everything has
been painted black. Even the clutch and brake levers, rider footrests, gear
pedal, fork lowers, and handlebar clamps carry the same treatment.
The new Triumph Rocket 3 Black also uses a
carbon-fibre front mudguard with black mudguard mounts. You can get an idea
about the British brand’s attention to detail by the fact that even the intake
cover of the motorcycle has been powder coated in black. Apart from that, the
silencer, bar-end mirrors, RSU rocker, and 20-spoke alloy wheels are in black,
too.
The changes in the new Triumph Rocket 3
Black are limited to the aesthetics. Hence, powering the beast is the same,
humongous 2.5L, 3-cylinder engine which spits out 167 PS of max power at 6000 rpm
and generates 221 Nm of ground-shredding torque at just 4000 rpm. The 291 kg
motorcycle is loaded with the latest, advanced electronics such as hill hold
control, cruise control, keyless ignition, 4 riding modes, cornering ABS,
traction control, and an IMU.
The new Triumph Rocket 3 Black is a
limited edition variant. Only 1000 units will be made available worldwide. Each
model will come with a unique certificate of authenticity. With the new Black
edition, Triumph just made the Rocket 3 even more desirable.
