Triumph Rocket 3 R 2019

Triumph Rocket 3 R 2019

The Rocket 3 R can certainly be considered the sporting cannon among the two Rocket 3 models: Cannon, because the engine with its incredible 2.5 litre (!) capacity pushes as expected, like a cannonball, and sport, because this huge machine is surprisingly easy and precise to control, despite a ready-to-ride weight of over 300 kilos. The seating position is successfully active, the brakes stable and the electronics with cornering ABS, traction control, four riding modes, cruise control and colour TFT cockpit complete and up to date. Added to this is the thoroughly attractive and high-quality appearance, which makes it a real pleasure to present the motorbike with the world's largest standard engine and torque in front of the ice cream parlour.

A monument of an engine, yet super controllable

good brakes

pleasant ergonomics

neutral handling

world record for displacement and torque

successful look

Little lean angle clearance
