Triumph has revealed the Rocket 3 GT Triple Black. The new model of the powerful cruiser features several blacked-out parts and components for a much more dominant visual appeal. It is a limited edition variant and only 1000 units will be available worldwide. Each model will come with a personalised certificate of authenticity detailing the VIN. The Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black is expected to start arriving at dealerships around the globe from mid-April onwards.
Just like the black edition of its
roadster sibling, the Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black has several dedicated
blacked-out elements with premium finishes and details that impart a sinister
look to the motorcycle. The laid-back and comfortable GT model features a sophisticated
dark style with a distinctive three-shade paint scheme.
The
Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black also features black anodised rider footrests,
brake pedal, gear pedal, heel guard, and pillion footrests. For a premium
touch, Triumph has also used a carbon-fibre front mudguard. No changes have
been made to the bike’s mechanicals. The Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black uses
a 2.5L inline 3-cylinder engine which is the world’s largest production
motorcycle engine. It is super smooth, refined, and responsive. It is capable
of pumping out 167 PS of max power at 6000 rpm. The peak torque output of this
gigantic motor is 221 Nm which is generated at just 4000 rpm.
The suspension setup of the Triumph Rocket
3 GT Triple Black consists of a pair of 47mm USD Showa front forks with
compression and rebound adjustability and a fully adjustable Showa piggyback
reservoir RSU with a remote hydraulic preload adjuster. The braking duties are
handled by twin 320mm rotors up front with Brembo M4.30 Stylema 4-piston radial
monobloc calipers and a single 300mm rotor at the rear.
In terms of electronics, the Triumph
Rocket 3 GT Triple Black has a TFT dash, multiple riding modes (rain, road,
sport, rider-configurable), cruise control, hill hold control, keyless
ignition, heated grips, USB charging socket, and more.
