A couple of months ago, during the Triumph presentation, someone took a snapshot of the bikes. And the image somehow came out of the presentation area. 

We were able to catch hold of these images. And then we were talking about its Rocket 3 Black and Rocket 3 GT Black editions.

Homologation document

And we did say in our last article about these two limited edition Rocket 3 variants.

“The mystery deepens as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also gave the go-ahead to two new 2021 Rocket 3 variants. 

And they are Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 G.T. Triple Black.

Suppose we go back to the present 2020 Triumph Rocket 3. A big round of applause to the Triumph engineers as they had stacked more power which is 165 hp, and has cut down 39 kgs (88lbs) in the new 2020 Triumph Rocket 3.

However, filing the homologation documents suggests we could see more on Rocket 3 in the coming year”.

Now Triumph Motorcycles has brought the Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 G.T. Triple Black Editions. 

Triumph motorcycles, as we all know, is the largest U.K. owned motorcycle manufacturer in the business.

Founded in 1983, the company has created headlines by revealing the limited edition, Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 G.T. Triple Black. 

The bike Portrays an all-black theme with almost no chrome insight. 

As their name suggests, the Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 GT Black also have blacked-out brake and gear levers, mirrors, heel guards, radiator cowls and heat shield.

 Rocket 3 R Black gets a single-tone finish, while the Rocket 3 G.T. wears three different black shades: ‘ Triple Black’. 

There are no mechanical or feature changes for either limited-edition motorcycles than standard Rocket 3 R and Rocket 3 G.T. 

These machines operate with the most significant engine for a two-wheeler.

With only 1000 bikes manufactured, they will be launched internationally in showrooms in the next couple of months. Hence we can expect a few to be available in India sometime soon. 

Triumph will sell each bike with its unique authenticity certificate.  

The new Rocket 3 R Black and Rocket 3 GT Triple Black deliver extra exclusivity, with a new level of meaner, moodier muscle to the Rocket 3 range.
