the factory PTO options are limited but the aftermarket attachments are surprisingly good

When I was working at a Triumph dealer we had a gent with a rocket 3 who had a minor crash and lost his shift lever. He rode home and rode to the dealer the next day with the bike stuck in 6th gear!!! this thing takes off from a stop in 6th easier than most bikes start from first.

This bike is all about style and excess. Love it.

I rode the 3R two years ago and loved it, I eventually chose a HD FXLRS 117 because of the stance and sitting position, but there's no doubt the Triumph Rocket 3 is in a class by itself, the smooth delivery of all that HP and torque is incredible and I only wish I could afford to have it in my garage along side my Low Rider S.

@@andyhollund493 The Rocket 3 is a 2500cc making roughly 165 HP 😂 it's an experience and the largest production engine. Triumph makes some amazing motorcycles. The reason I went with the FXLRS is the ergonomics and stance, I wanted a performance cruiser that's comfortable on the road. In my opinion the best bike the Company has ever produced and the factory 117 is fast enough for anyone.

Similar performance to my TFC. Phenomenal bike!

I’m going to test ride one of these when my Tiger 12 is in for a service, nice to see Triumph upping the power to stay ahead of the Ducati Duvall - which is a bit of a skittish beast

Great bike just getting better. You have to wonder with all the little updates Triumph is making if they are poised to do big releases in 2025 with a few models. Pound for Pound I think Triumph is one of the best companies that overdelivers no matter what model you get compared to the other higher end motorcycle brands.

Nice design overall except for the tank and headlight. 👍😎

Do we know if Triumph have finally sorted out the rear brake failure issues that have plagued many Gen 2 Rocket 3 models ?

I just changed rear master cylinder with aftermarket brembo, no more issues. Original is too small to pump fluid trough out such long line.

Dealers in my area still have some 2022 stock and the $7k off is somewhat tempting. Bigger than most car engines? So are the majority of cars in the UK actually under 2.5l? Actually, it looks like a number of big discounts on Triumphs in the U.S. it seems. Tiger 1200 has $6k, Scrambler 1200XC has $4k, bobber and speedmaster $3k (2023 models) If I didn't already have 3 bikes...

The good news is that the "more power" is something you can do to your regular Rocket 3... The current gen is held back by software... You twist the throttle and no matter how much you twist, it never delivers more than 64%... Sport mode on the Rocket is like Road or Rain on other bikes. You can change that yourself with TuneECU and an Android phone... Get it to deliver 100% when you want... Instant 35hp or so on a stock bike...

Love one of these beasts, 2.5 litres, three cylinders 🔥 … One day ! 👊

spare a thought for the rear tyres this thing will shred 😅

This makes it the most powerful cruiser in the world.

Rocket is so heavily reduced on power cause of the emissions, with free flow air filter and exhaust with decat you can gain +35hp

I would love to see this race against a 2018+ Vmax. Nobody ever races them, but I have seen some videos where the VMax literally smokes the 3 GT.

Sold my TFC and didn’t want to replace it with the less powerful rocket, but now this looks to be the same as TFC so maybe I will get again

Looks great in the black 👍🏻👍🏻

Knowing Triumph's way of doing things by introducing a special edition every time before a model gets new model/major update, this means that the Rocket 3 is going to get a new model/ major update in 2025

Im not a fan of large bikes as I do too much city riding but damn I would love to at least rent one of these for a day on a trip off somewhere with more room to play.

I want a normal rear fender on my bike.

Pals Rocket gained 32bhp with and ecu flash .

how many onion jacks are on it.

This is so much bike and whilst being very expensive, it is much cheaper than Indian, HD cruisers which are stuck in the 1980s with their technology. Imagine comparing the Rocket 3 with a HD fatbob for performance lol

Ducati XDiavel also runs the wide tyre.

I wonder if you can actually feel the difference.

If I win the lottery !

2020 version looks better to me, in red. More power? Crazy.

43 years of riding motorcycles and i must say my 2022 3r is a fantastic machine. i would pay $250 for a dealer to install this new software. Any more than that is robbery. maybe i can take the $250 and buy a carbon fiber part and make it look faster?

Now this as a first bike or a hayabusa

reverse gear would be awesome😢

agreed, i’m that annoying person in the group that always needs gas. i modded the filler neck to gain a few more ounces but yeah the tank is small but thicc. Another downfall of the rocket is no standing to let the blood flow. that tank is just too wide.

I have a Blue Trophy and a Blue Tiger, so, the blue works for me.

180hp/221nm from a 2500cc engine is just normal…Even 4 cylinders 2500cc produce around that horsepower and slightly higher torque…The rocket need 250nm with more weight and 18 inch rims

i dont like the headlight

I was lucky enough to own an ‘06MY Rocket III and loved it (despite the spine crushingly hard rear suspension) and still hanker for a new Rocket III GT. To be honest though, I’d much rather have the 2023 GT as the 2024 Storm colours are nothing short of awful! Why anyone would want blacked out exhausts when the originals looked like a work of art is beyond me……..and the paint colour choices are appalling! 🤮 Triumph……suggest you pay a visit to the Felt-Tip Fairies in the Styling studio and change their crayons!

I just can't get over the design decision to slap two regular front lights from cheaper models onto this bike... I think it deserves something more special and to look a little bit less... mentally challenged from the front. Front and rear just don't match.

I suppose Triumph needed to pull something out of the hat to keep interest in this bike fresh. However they've laughed in the faces of the likes of the TFC owners by matching their bikes performance and Black / Triple Black owners by copying their blacked out details.

I think the display is underwhelming and doesn't really suit the bike. Also the headlights need to be a bit more futuristic rocket man looking rather than old school as they look off with the rest of the design

Yeah, more power was that was needed…. Missed opportunity… How about a bigger tank that can actually make it tour better.. a bit of a normal saddle that one could sit on for more than 10min, and overall utility.

I toured Europe on my Triumph in the 70,s then it was my everyday transport for years and years in central London. Great, their back! But why so large engines? 500cc was perfect, more than enough speed and power. More than 600cc is totally unnecessary and therefore ostentatiously vulgar. I suppose it makes the rider feel more manly, more powerful, sexier, than he or she really is? Why no longer beautiful metal silver motors? Much nicer, more beautiful, than those cheap looking ugly black things. The silver raw metal engines seemed to say, "look at me, I'm proud, I'm beautiful, I'm the heart and soul of this machine". The new black blobs seem to say, "don't look at me, I'm just an invisible boring opaque blob, look at all the plastic colorful garbage around me instead".
