In 2010, Triumph took the legendary Rocket III and applied a
concentrated dose of attitude to create the Rocket III Roadster.
With its footrests moved back to a mid-position and the seat
shifted forward, the world's largest capacity production motorcycle
took on a whole new stance spearheaded by its twin headlight style
that unleashed it into the muscle bike sector.
For 2013 the Rocket III Roadster is not only meaner looking than
ever, it has even more torque!
As the performance of all motorcycles continues to improve,
Triumph is now offering a full strength undiluted Rocket III
Roadster. On all previous Rocket III models the massive 2,294cc
engine's huge torque has been electronically reduced in the first
three gears, simply to prevent rider intimidation. But with the
Rocket III Roadster's performance credentials established, the time
has come to raise the stakes even further, so the restriction has
been lifted and the full torque and power are on tap from the
moment the clutch is released.
The result is even stronger performance, a crisper, more
responsive feel and a motorcycle which is totally effortless. Rapid
overtaking is just a brush of the twist grip away, raw excitement
depends only on your right wrist.
The styling has been made even meaner to match the performance
hike with a change from chrome to black for a host of key
components, making this the most brooding, hardest hitting Rocket
III yet.

The Rocket III Roadster builds on the unique, torque-driven
performance of the original Rocket III with a more upright and
sportier riding position designed to help the rider attack the
curves as this sweet handling chassis allows. The rigid frame and
sophisticated suspension, comprising 43mm upside down forks and
adjustable rear units, lets the Rocket III Roadster sweep through
corners and change direction with an agility that belies its size
and capacity. It's a high specification machine with comprehensive
instrumentation including fuel gauge, gear indicator and clock, ABS
brakes as standard and those unmistakable twin headlights. Add all
this to its lean, head-turning looks, the colossal engine and
massive street presence, and you have a motorcycle that is
absolutely unique, original and distinct from every other.
