Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2019

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2019

The more comfortable version of the two new Rocket 3 models convinces with more comfort features such as heated grips, windshield and a more comfortable seating position - and therefore with a more universal design than the Rocket 3 R. However, the GT also has the charismatic "ship's diesel" on board, which behaves very sociably despite the incredible torque of 221 Newton metres. The neutral handling even makes the bike, which weighs over 300 kilos, a motorbike for winding country roads - but it should not be too tight. If you want to go on tour with the largest standard engine, you certainly can't go wrong with the Rocket 3 GT.

Authentic touring character

a monument of an engine, yet super controllable

good brakes

comfortable seating position

neutral handling

world record for displacement and torque

high-quality workmanship.

Sissybar not to everyone's taste

Triumph Rocket 3 R 2019

Triumph Rocket 3 R 2019

The Rocket 3 R can certainly be considered the sporting cannon among the two Rocket 3 models: Cannon, because the engine with its incredible 2.5 litre (!) capacity pushes as expected, like a cannonball, and sport, because this huge machine is surprisingly easy and precise to control, despite a ready-to-ride weight of over 300 kilos. The seating position is successfully active, the brakes stable and the electronics with cornering ABS, traction control, four riding modes, cruise control and colour TFT cockpit complete and up to date. Added to this is the thoroughly attractive and high-quality appearance, which makes it a real pleasure to present the motorbike with the world's largest standard engine and torque in front of the ice cream parlour.
