Triumph Rocket III Overview

At the heart of every Rocket III is a motor
with a sound so distinct you can hear it a
mile off. No other engine in the world
growls like a triple. It’s assembled in the
surgical surroundings of one of the most
advanced factories in the world and
continually refined by a Design and
Development department that runs to over
100 people. Like everyone at Triumph, they
live, breathe, eat and sleep the bikes.
