The Triumph Rocket III was a three-cylinder machine manufactured by Triumph from 2004. The bike had the largest displacement engine ever fitted on a production motorcycle at the time until 2019, when they released the Triumph Rocket 3.
In 2014, to celebrate 10 years of Rocked III manufacturing, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Rocket X Limited Edition, a motorcycle made in only 500 units, each with its individual numbered side panel and billet aluminum name badge.
In addition, the bike came in a premium high-gloss custom paint scheme with grind effect stripes. Also, the handlebar, exhaust, and mirrors were black-finished to add a custom appearance, and the black-finished wheels with a hand-made silver pinstripe.
In the visual department, the bike packed standard features, such as two round headlights, a small cover mounted above the lights, a single seat, a dual exhaust system with one silencer on each side, five-spoke wheels, and a side stand.
The 2014 Triumph Rocket X Limited Edition had installed underneath its fuel tank a massive 2,294c four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system in charge, delivering 105 hp at 5,400 rpm and 203 Nm (150 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.
The bike was built on a tubular steel twin spine frame with a 43 mm upside-down Kayaba fork on the front and a five-position-adjustable Kayaba shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.
