TRIUMPH Rocket III Roadster (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Rocket III was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by the British company from 2004 to 2017. The bike had the largest displacement engine ever fitted on a production motorcycle until 2017, when it was replaced by the Triumph Rocket 3.

In addition to the base model, the manufacturer released several models with different characteristics and designations. The range was completed by Classic, Roadster, Tourer, and Touring versions of the standard model.

In 2010, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Rocket III Roadster, the most powerful machine in the Rocket range. The machine packed a dual exhaust system instead of the previous two-and-one layout and was called by Triumph "the ultimate muscle streetfighter."

In the aesthetic department, the Roadster version packed standard features, such as two round headlights, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, side-mounted shock absorbers, a dual exhaust system, a side stand, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster had installed the same 2,294cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a different tune boasting 146 hp at 5,750 rpm and 221 Nm (163 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.

The bike was built around a tubular steel twin-spine frame with a 43 mm upside-down Kayaba telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm travel and dual side-mounted adjustable Kayaba shock absorbers on the rear with 105 mm travel.
