TRIUMPH Rocket III Touring (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Rocket III was a cruiser motorcycle made by Triumph from 2004 to 2017. The Rocket III was powered by the largest displacement engine ever fitted on a production motorcycle until 2019, when the maker introduced the Rocket 3 with a larger unit.

In addition to the standard model, the manufacturer launched four other versions with different designations and characteristics. The Rocket Range comprised the basic model and the Classic, Roadster, Tourer, and Touring versions.

In 2007, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Rocket III Touring cruiser, a model filled with touring-oriented accessories for more comfort but with more torque and less power than the basic model.

Compared to the Rocket III base model, the Touring version featured a new frame and swingarm design, a smaller 16-inch front wheel, a standard fork, tank-mounted instruments with a scrolling switch on the handlebar, aluminum slotted wheels, and narrower tires.

The bike was built around a tubular steel twin-spine frame with a 43 mm Kayaba fork and two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and adjustable dual side-mounted shock absorbers with a 316 mm discs and a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent handling and stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2013 Triumph Rocket III Touring had its soul brought to life by a massive 2,294cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 106 hp at 5,400 rpm and 203 Nm (150 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.
