Triumph has launched the 2024 editions of Triumph Rocket 3. The Rocket 3 Storm R and GT are priced at Rs 21.99 lakh and Rs 22.59 lakh respectively.
The 2024 update has seen a major performance upgrade. Both variants are now more powerful than before.
The Triumph Rocket 3 is powered by a 2458cc, liquid-cooled triple cylinder engine. The 2024 update has improved the motor’s performance.
The engine now produces 15PS and 4Nm more than before, making 182PS at 7000rpm and 225Nm at 4000rpm.
The bike has undergone styling changes. The bodywork now features more blacked out components, including the exhaust pipes and wheel rims.
The Rocket 3 is offered in 3 colour schemes globally: Carnival Red, Satin Pacific Blue, and Sapphire Black. The India-spec comes in Sapphire Black.
The Rocket 3 has updated 17-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels with a ten-spoke cast aluminium design.
Both bikes come with a full-colour TFT instrument console, keyless ignition, optimised cornering ABS and traction control supported by an IMU.
There are 4 riding modes: road, rain, sport and a custom, rider-configurable one. These adjust the throttle map and traction control setting.
The Rocket 3 GT comes with additional features that enhance its touring capabilities such as a pillion backrest, taller windscreen and heated grips.
The Rocket 3 doesn’t have any direct rivals. The closest alternatives are the Ducati Diavel 1260 and the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob.
