Almost nothing had to be changed, so Triumph offers new styling options. The 221 and Chrome options are back, along with the Rocket 3 R and Rocket 3 GT.

The Rocket 3 comes standard with Brembo Stylema brakes, selectable riding modes, cornering ABS, traction control and cruise control. The adjustable Showa suspension is well-tuned, and the muscular Rocket 3 is much more confident to ride than the physics would suggest.

2023 Triumph Rocket 3 Features
2,500CC – WORLD’S LARGEST PRODUCTION MOTORCYCLE ENGINE
The previous generation Rocket already held the distinction of having the world’s largest production motorcycle engine (previously 2,300cc), but this next generation Rocket 3 lineup raised the bar even higher with an all-new 2,500cc Triumph triple which delivers an even higher capacity and performance. Incredible design innovations have found 39.68 lb engine weight savings over its predecessor with new mass-optimized crankcase assembly, a new lubrication system comprising dry sump and integral oil tank, and new balancer shafts. What’s more, this powerplant masterpiece is exquisitely engineered, with beautiful finish and detailing throughout including stunning machined fins on both the upper and lower crankcases.
INCREDIBLE ACCELERATION AND TORQUE
The performance of the new Rocket 3 takes this amazing motorcycle range to a whole new level. The new Rocket’s peak power (165 hp at 6,000 rpm) is 11% higher than the previous Rocket, and the new engine produces power increases from 3,500 rpm to a new higher red line of 7,000 rpm. Maximum torque – 163 LB-FT at 4,000 rpm – is the highest in the world, 71% higher than Rocket’s closest competitor and higher than the previous generation across most of the rev range. In real driving practice, this means accelerating from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds.

This includes high-spec adjustable Showa front and rear suspension setups, and a cutting-edge Brembo brakes setup with the highest available specification Brembo Stylema® calipers to deliver an incredible braking performance and immediate response. The mass optimized aluminum frame of the new Rocket 3 lineup is an unwelded construction that has premium cast and forged components, making the frame lighter and contributing to a massive 88.18 lb weight saving compared to the predecessor Rocket. In addition, optimized cornering ABS and traction control, which is supported by an Inertial Measurement Unit developed with Continental, provide an enhanced level of riding stability to ensure optimum brake force, optimized slip rate and torque control that improves both straight line and cornering, acceleration and braking.
