Triumph went bigger, badder and meaner with its
latest generation of the Rocket 3. Powered by the largest motor ever attached to a production-spec motorcycle, the Rocket 3 first arrived
GT version following it last year. For 2021, Triumph didn’t really need to do much with the 2.5-litre motor, which was already EU5/BS6-compliant. The Brit bikemaker has taken 2000 units of its torque monster (1000 units of each variant) and dipped them in a well of black paint. The end result? Meet the Rocket 3 R Black and the Rocket 3 GT Triple Black.
What s New?
As the name indicates, these Black edition Rocket 3s are dark versions of their standard counterparts, both with unique colour schemes. The R dons matte black overalls with gloss black stripes on the tank as well as ‘Black’ branding. The GT has a three-shade paint scheme and hence the name Triple Black.
