Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021

The Rocket 3 GT is a ship of a motorbike. Starting with the crazy engine and finishing with the long wheelbase. It's all the more surprising that Triumph's engineers have managed to teach it manners even in tighter bends. The Rocket 3's manoeuvrability is the real surprise of this 300-kilogram machine. All sorts of little helpers enable safe riding in every situation. It's great that we are allowed to drive such masterpieces of engineering - provided, of course, that we have the necessary money.
