The Triumph Rocket III was a cruising motorcycle made by the British company from 2004 to 2017. The bike was powered by the largest displacement engine fitted on a production motorcycle until 2017, when it was succeeded by the Rocket 3 with a larger unit.
In addition to the base model, the maker made four different models with different characteristics and designations available. The Rocket range included the base model, Classic, Roadster, Tourer, and Touring versions.
In 2013, the British motorcycle manufacturer released the Triumph Rocket III Roadster. The Roadster version was the most powerful in the range and was in its fourth year of production. It came in the same package as the previous model without any modifications.
In the visual department, the 2013 Roadster model packed standard features, such as a twin headlight design, analog dials, a two-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system, and lightweight five-spoke alloy wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm USD Kayaba telescopic fork on the front and two five-position adjustable side-mounted Kayaba shock absorbers on the rear, delivering excellent handling capabilities.
As for the power figures, the 2013 Triumph Rocket III Roadster had installed in plain sight a massive and stylish 2,294cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system feeding the pistons, boasting 146 hp at 5,750 rpm and 221 Nm (163 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
