Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021
The Rocket 3 GT is a ship of a motorbike. Starting with the crazy engine and finishing with the long wheelbase. It's all the more surprising that Triumph's engineers have managed to teach it manners even in tighter bends. The Rocket 3's manoeuvrability is the real surprise of this 300-kilogram machine. All sorts of little helpers enable safe riding in every situation. It's great that we are allowed to drive such masterpieces of engineering - provided, of course, that we have the necessary money.

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
