Owners of the Rocket 3 series, for the 2020 and 2021 model years should take note of this latest recall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as it affects 1,241 units of the bike.
At the core of the recall is the ABS modulator, which may deteriorate in performance over time because of air that can get into the brake system.
The Triumph Rocket III was already an absurd motorcycle, with its 2,294cc three-cylinder engine – the largest of any production motorcycle.
Well, the Brits are aiming for next-level insanity now with the Rocket name, debuting today the Triumph Rocket 3 R and Triumph Rocket 3 GT, which feature a 2,500cc triple that makes 165hp and 163 lbs•ft of torque.
That’s an 11% power increase over the previous generation, though just shy of the performance figures boasted on the Triumph Rocket 3 TFC that we saw earlier this year.
