Triumph's new Rocket III arrives at Lone Star

V-Twin crusher

With three, four-inch diameter pistons and a 3.7-inch stroke in cylinders about the size of those in a big American muscle car engine, the Rocket III double overhead cam engine pumps out 140 horsepower at 5750 rpm and 147 ft. lbs. of torque at 2500 rpm. The Rocket III weighs in dry at 704 pounds. We highly recommend that you get a good grip on the handlebars before releasing the clutch. Next
