TRIUMPH Rocket III Touring (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Rocket III Touring, a beefed-up version of the base model, equipped with many touring-oriented accessories for better experience for both rider and passenger.

The 2009 Touring version came with the same package as the previous model, with the same visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

In the aesthetic department, the bike had standard features, such as a round headlight, a detachable windscreen with great attention to detail, a pulled-back handlebar, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted hard panniers, a dual exhaust system, and lightweight slotted aluminum wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2009 Triumph Rocket III Touring had installed a massive and stylish 2,294cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 105 hp at 6,000 rpm and 203 Nm (150 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.

The bike's power 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 bike was built around a tubular steel twin spine frame fitted with a 43 mm Kayaba fork on the front, offering 20 mm wheel travel and side-mounted Kayaba shock absorbers on the rear with 105 mm wheel travel.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs coupled to four-piston Nissin calipers on the front and a 316 mm disc with a dual-piston Brembo caliper on the rear.
