Triumph’s vigorous 2.3L 3-cylinder has found new territory to conquer: Grand Touring. And American style, please! The Rocket III just needed to be equipped to hunt on the grounds of the Harley-Davidson Electra and Road King. Hinckley therefore offered it, or rather transform it and adapt it for Uncle Sam’s Highways. Indeed, the Rocket III Touring is not simply a Rocket with a windshield and 2 suitcases. The big British custom is mainly revised to ensure supremacy on the “cruising” market.
From the standard Rocket III, Triumph kept only the engine, with a revised mapping for better throttle control. With this majestic 3 cylinders with incomparable breath, this new GT will not fear any competition in terms of muscle and sensation. Everything around, hop, everything has been modified to offer Touring passengers a new way of enjoying the road and in comfort..
Chassis, wheels, suspensions, saddle, tank, instrumentation, headlight … Everything, I tell you, has adapted. Some details will allow you to easily switch from “cruising” mode to “custom” mode; suitcases like the windshield hold by quick fasteners.
A touring machine does not have the same pretensions as a custom and must offer a higher level of approval. The Touring III emphasizes the comfort of the suspensions, the reception of the pilot and the ease of use. On its handlebars, we should note a plus in terms of liveliness when setting the angle. The wheels are narrower than on the Rocket, so less effort to engage it in the curve. Regarding life on board, Miss Triumph is equipped with a new gear selector fully adjustable in heel / toe position, ergonomic stems, and a host of specific accessories (nearly 70) to push personalization far..
This imposing GT will find in front of it the Goldwing reference and the unmissable Harley. The 3-cylinder receives a new mapping: less power (it drops to 106 horsepower) but 1 mkg more at the speed of 2,025 rpm. The fat britton mill now brings you over 21 mkg just above idle – a real tractor. What send a hell of an uppercut to the competition. Once the V2 t flat 6 calmed down, the Touring will have to prove that it can keep the dragee high in terms of dynamics and comfort..
She has already charmed you … You just have to come to Triumph with a nice check for 19,290 euros.
