General Information
Rocket 3 221 Edition
Designed to
celebrate the Rocket 3’s category-defining performance, including its
world-leading 221 Newton metres of peak torque, the stunning new 221 Special
Edition with its unique paint scheme is available for one year only, on the R
and GT models. Available for one year only, the new 221 Special Editions
combine a unique new paint scheme, showcasing the Rocket’s class-leading
performance numbers, with all of the Rocket’s signature muscular style,
phenomenal handling and effortless touring capability. Named after its
world-leading 221 Newton metres of peak torque, the new Rocket 3 R 221 Special
Edition and Rocket 3 GT 221 Special Edition are eye-catching, premium and
desirable.
Magnificent
style with striking 221 Edition paint scheme
The
distinctive 221 Edition Rockets feature a distinctive new paint scheme where
the striking Red Hopper tank and front mudguard, beautifully contrasts with the
Sapphire Black mudguard brackets, headlight bowls, flyscreen, side panels, rear
bodywork and radiator cowls. The paint scheme is further enhanced by the bold
and unique 221 knee pad graphics, as well as the subtle tank-top graphics which
showcase all of the Rocket’s exceptional performance numbers, including 221Nm
torque, 2458cc engine, 167PS power, 85.9mm stroke and 110.2mm bore. On top of
the unique 221 Edition paint scheme, the special editions feature all of the
signature style elements that have made the Rocket a new modern motorcycle
icon: the imposing and muscular stance, the distinctive twin headlights and the
beautifully sculpted 3 header exhaust run. And, as with all Triumphs, the
attention to detail is of an exceptional standard, including for example, the
hidden folding pillion footrest which, when folded, seamlessly blend into the
clean lines of the Rocket’s design.
Unparalleled
performance
Renowned
for being the largest production motorcycle engine on the planet, the Rocket 3
R and GT deliver world-leading performance from low down in the rev range. And
it’s that incredible class-defining performance that has given the new 221
Special Editions their name. The 2,458cc triple engine not only delivers the
world’s highest peak torque of 221Nm at 4,000rpm, but peak power is also a
breath-taking 167PS at 6,000rpm. The Rocket 3 R and GT are effortlessly
thrilling to ride, beautifully smooth and responsive, for all day, any gear
riding. The engine has been designed to harmoniously blend with the Rocket’s
magnificent style and features a distinctive hydroformed three-header exhaust
run, carefully designed to deliver the incredibly rich triple engine roar that
is guaranteed to turn heads. The Rocket 3 R and GT also feature a
high-performance six-speed helical-cut gearbox and a torque-assist hydraulic
clutch for super-slick operation and an incredibly refined ride.
Phenomenal
handling
The Rocket
3 R and GT 221 Editions benefit from all of the latest generation Rocket’s
incredible ride and high level of standard specification. This includes the
superb suspension package: a fully adjustable Showa monoshock rear suspension
unit with piggy-back reservoir and 47mm upside down Showa cartridge front
forks, adjustable for compression and rebound damping. The incredible handling
of this special edition Rocket 3 is also ensured thanks to its top
specification Brembo Stylema® four-piston radial monobloc front brakes with
twin 320mm floating discs. These cutting edge calipers are a lightweight and
compact design, with optimised air flow for efficient cooling. Further
highlighting the incredible specification of this bike, on the rear the Rocket
3 mounts a Brembo M4.32 four-piston monobloc caliper and 300mm disc, a setup
more commonly found at the front end of a motorcycle. Innovative design is key
to the Rocket’s phenomenal handling and some of the best examples of this can
be found in the beautifully engineered single-sided cast aluminium swing arm,
the mass optimised aluminium frame, the hidden folding pillion pegs, and the
internally wired roadster style handlebars on the R model, or the touring
handlebars on the GT model. The wheels are lightweight, cast aluminium, with an
intricate 20-spoke design and come fitted with high-specification Avon Cobra
Chrome tyres. These have been developed especially for the Rocket 3 and deliver
exceptional grip and high mileage durability. With so much power available, the
ergonomics have been carefully designed to optimise comfort and control. The
rider’s seat has been sculpted to provide perfect support, while the adjustable
foot controls give with two vertical position settings on the R model, and
three horizontal position settings on the GT model. Seat height is an
accessible low 773mm on the R model, and 750mm on the GT model, and the rider
can also change the set-up from twin seat to single with an accessory infill
pad. Thanks to the 18-litre fuel tank, the Rocket 3 R and GT 221 Editions
ensure a great long distance touring range.
Ride-enhancing
technology
The Rocket
3 R 221 Edition and the Rocket 3 GT 221 Edition benefit from all of the
standard specification of the base models including optimised cornering ABS and
optimised cornering traction control. These are controlled by a sophisticated
Inertial Measurement Unit which measures the roll, pitch, yaw and acceleration
rates of the bike in order to calculate the lean angle and optimise braking and
traction control accordingly. The instruments are full-colour TFTs, which are
angle-adjustable and have two information layout themes that can be
personalised. The My Triumph connectivity system software is already installed,
enabled, set-up and ready to be used with the accessory-fit Bluetooth module.
This enables GoPro interaction, turn-by-turn navigation and phone and music
operation via the switch cubes, all displayed on the TFT screen. Four riding
modes – Road, Rain, Sport and Rider-configurable – adjust the throttle response
and traction control settings to suit rider preference and riding conditions.
The modes can be easily changed while on the move via the illuminated switch
cubes. For low energy consumption, durability and great visibility on the road,
the Rocket 3 R and GT feature all-LED lighting, including the twin LED
headlights, beautifully shaped tail light, indicators and number plate light.
The headlights also incorporate Triumph’s signature shaped LED Daytime Running
Lights, where market legislation allows, increasing rider visibility to other
road users. As standard both Rocket 221 Editions come equipped with hill hold
control, cruise control, keyless ignition and keyless steering lock, and an
under-seat USB charging socket. Plus, on the GT model, heated grips are also
fitted as standard
50+
Genuine Triumph accessories
As with all
Triumph motorcycles, a wide range of genuine accessories are available to
enhance the Rocket’s comfort, practicality, style and security. All accessories
are designed alongside the bike itself, and all are tested to the same quality
and durability standards. Accessories include the Triumph Shift Assist up and
down quick shifter, a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, a comfort seat and a
sports screen, plus tracking and alarm systems. There is also a range of
luggage available for even better touring capability, with an innovative
patented cast aluminium retractable and lockable pannier mounting system. The
Rocket 3 R 221 Special Edition and the Rocket 3 GT 221 Special Edition, plus
all genuine accessories, come with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty.
