TRIUMPH Rocket III Roadster (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the Brits released the Triumph Rocket III Roadster, a machine that debuted in 2004 and packed the largest displacement engine ever fitted on a production motorcycle until 2017, when Triumph released the Rocket 3 with a larger unit.

The 2014 machine came with some visual improvements, including black-finished components, such as radiator cowls, rear mudguard rails, the airbox cover, fork protectors, and mirrors, offering an even more menacing look.

As for the standard features, the bike packed a twin headlight system, a two-piece dual seat, side-mounted shock absorbers, a chromed dual exhaust system, and black-finished five-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

In the performance department, the 2014 Triumph Rocket III Roadster had installed underneath its fuel tank a massive and beautifully crafted 2,294cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 146 hp with maximum strength at 5,750 rpm and 221 Nm (163 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.

The power produced by the massive engine was transferred to a five-speed manual transmission operated by a wet multi-plate clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final shaft drive.

The 320 kg (705 lbs) machine was equipped with two 320 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 316 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
