It is one of the most powerful bikes on offer in India, as well as across the world. Triumph wants to add the GT version of the Rocket 3 model in their India portfolio to lure biking enthusiasts. The sight of a bike with three cylinder and twin exhausts are surely going to be head turners among the clatter of sports bikes.
Design-wise, the new GT version of the Rocket 3 will not be very different from the Rocket 3 R that is already being sold in India. The GT model will have adjustable swept-back handlebar and forward-set footpegs. It also has comfortable seats and windscreen. For safety purposes, Triumph has added features like ABS and traction control. The Brembo M4.30 Stylema 4-piston radial calipers at the front are also crucial to put a brake on this powerful bike. The new Triumph Rocket 3 GT will come with four riding modes and cruise control options as well.
Despite reducing its weight by around 40 kgs, the new Triumph Rocket 3 GT will still be a heavy bike weighing around 300 kgs. It has an aluminium frame design and wears sports diamond-cut alloy wheels.
Price of the new Triumph Rocket 3 GT is not known yet. However, the two-wheeler manufacturer's Rocket 3 R, which is currently being sold in India, costs ₹18 lakh. The GT version will surely exceed that price tag to become the most expensive Triumph bike in India, with its price expected to hover around the ₹20-lakh mark.
