Triumph-Rocket-iii-Has-Even-More-Power


Speaking as a biker, I am constantly amazed by how many people are unaware that Triumph has some stellar bikes out

these days.

Case in point: the Triumph Rocket III. For the 2010 model, the bike will sport 165 lb of torque in a 2.3 liter inline triple engine which will provide about a 15% improvement over this year’s model.

Further, with 146 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and weighing in at a solid 807 pounds, you’ve got yourself a serious machine between your legs.

Triumph has also updated the brake components, updated Brembo brakes, and suspension. Further, there are 43mm upside down forks join the twin Kayaba shocks to keep the beast under control.

Now that you know some of the perks about the internal, we hit the external. It comes in black. You are allowed the choice of glossy or matte.

Now don’t expect to find Lorenzo out back wrenching his own builds. He has teemed up with esteemed custom bike builder, Eddie Trotta, to ensure these steel steeds are some of the best around. Trotta is well known to viewing audiences of Discovery’s Biker Build-Off series and has also been featured in the luxury coffee table book, “Art of the Motorcycle“.

Trotta will bring a lot of street creed to this new line of choppers and we look forward to what Lamas & Trotta have in store for us!
