Triumph unveils the 2010 Rocket III Roadster


Triumph has unveiled its new and updated Rocket III Roadster for 2010, and it’s all full of goodies. The motorcycle gets a 15% bump in the torque to take the total output to 165 lb-ft, quite the double of the figure offered by the Yamaha R1. Power figure for the motorcycle hasn’t been released yet, but you can expect the 2300 cc bike to get a jump on that one as well.

The new Rocket weighs 302 kgs, and gets ABS, changes to the ride position to suit the “new ergonomics,” and a blacked out appearance to go along its “bad boy” image. The motorcycle will be available in metallic Phantom black, and Aggressive matt black.
