TRIUMPH ROCKET III TOURING


Authentic custom-touring style with all new frame, wheels, tank, lights, bars and footboards. Suspension tuned for touring provides sumptuous ride quality. Low seat and centre of gravity makes for easy handling. Full size quick release screen, huge 36 litre panniers, and clean as a whistle shaft drive help you arrive relaxed yet ready to go.

What does it have in common with the rest of the rocket III family? the astonishing 2.3 litre triple engine. Effortless overtakes, solo or fully loaded. And the cornering ability of a bike half its size lets you glide through the bends.

The new Rocket III Touring, tuned to go the distance.

Engine

The Rocket III Touring shares the same engine platform as the Rocket III. Its increased torque at low speeds means that even two-up and fully laden it will accelerate effortlessly for easy overtaking. The engine management system uses sensors to determine the correct fuelling and ignition and tailors the torque curve for each gear ratio. As a result the Rocket III Touring responds quickly, cleanly and strongly at any speed, in any gear.
