Triumph Rocket 3 Storm has been updated - it has become more powerful and brutal

Triumph showed the updated Rocket 3 Storm motorcycles in R and GT versions. The bikes have become more powerful due to the modification of the power unit, which is the same for them. As for the design, it is made in deliberately black colors. Even chrome was abandoned.


Only small inserts on the top or bottom of the tank dilute the blackness. They can be gray, blue and red. Naturally, all the colors are dark, so as not to spoil the impression of the brutal and gloomy motorcycle.

Let us remind you that the Triumph Rocket 3 Storm with a 2,5 liter engine has been produced since 2020. Now the engine has been updated, adapting it to the environmental requirements of Euro-5. Surprisingly, the power of the power unit was not only preserved, but also increased by 15 hp. Now it reaches 182 “horses”.


The Triumph Rocket 3 Storm engine is unique in that it is three-cylinder. The row arrangement of the huge “pots” emphasizes how monstrous the power unit is. After all, even cars with a volume of 2,5 liters usually have six cylinders, but here there are half as many. But it looks very brutal.

The updated Triumph Rocket 3 Storm will only be offered in dark shades. This is a tribute to the limited edition Triple Black released in 2021. Then the motorcycles were quickly dismantled by fans, which prompted the manufacturer to release such a model.

The modification with the letter “R” is sporty. It features a narrower seat with a height of 773 mm. The rider's footpegs are located approximately in the middle. This provides a sporty riding position, which means the motorcycle feels better, handles sharper and corners easier at speed.

As for the GT version, this is a more “biker” modification. Her seat is wider and more comfortable, and its height is lower - 750 mm. The footpegs are located at the front, providing a more relaxed riding position.


The updated Rocket 3 Storm has become a little lighter. It was not possible to reduce weight due to the frame - it is already aluminum. But new alloy wheels helped get rid of a couple of extra pounds.

The pendants remain the same - from Showa. The brakes have not changed either - they are from Brembo. But the electronics are now only “top-end” for all versions of motorcycles. They will receive full-color TFT displays on the dashboard, cruise and traction control, and an ABS system. The rider will be able to choose from several engine operating modes, in accordance with the road situation and his own preferences.

Sales of the updated Triumph Rocket 3 Storm will start in April this year. The cost of motorcycles starts from 25 thousand dollars (2,31 million rubles).
