Triumph Rocket Iii Roadster
The Triumph Rocket Iii Roadster has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 167 hp and weighs 291 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
O Triumph Rocket III foi lançado em 2004 como o motor de motocicleta de produção de maior cilindrada do mundo, com 2.294 cc, título que manteve por mais de uma década. Uma grande reformulação ocorreu em 2020 com o Rocket 3 R (Roadster) e o Rocket 3 GT, apresentando um novo motor de três cilindros em linha de 2.458 cc com potência significativamente aprimorada e peso reduzido. Ele permanece notável como uma peça de referência em engenharia, combinando torque massivo com manuseio surpreendentemente capaz para um cruzador desse tamanho.

O que os compradores devem saber
World's Largest Engine
The Rocket III packs a massive 2,500cc inline-triple engine — the largest displacement production motorcycle engine ever made. This gives it 167 lb-ft of torque, more than many sports cars.
Watch the Final Drive
Earlier models (2004–2019) are known for shaft drive clunking and occasional final drive seal leaks — inspect these carefully on used bikes. The redesigned 2020+ model largely resolved these issues.
Strong Resale Value
The Rocket III holds its value exceptionally well due to its unique status and limited competition in the segment. Well-maintained examples typically retain 70–80% of value after 3 years.
Gerações e especificações por ano
Triplo em linha original de 2294 cc, carburado e depois injetado com combustível, estilo cruzador clássico, torque de 146 lb-ft.
"O maior motor de produção do mundo exige todo o seu respeito."
Esse triplo de 2294 cc atinge você como um trem de carga a 2.500 rpm — 221 Nm chegando antes mesmo de você pensar em pedir, o que torna a condução urbana genuinamente teatral e as ultrapassagens em rodovias quase absurdamente fáceis. Eu usei um modelo carburado de 2009 por dois anos e o combustível abaixo de 3.000 rpm era irregular o suficiente para sacudir seus dentes nas manhãs frias; as bicicletas posteriores com injeção de combustível limparam isso consideravelmente, embora nunca tenham perdido totalmente a rigidez de baixa rotação. Com 320 kg, não é uma bicicleta que você derruba e pega casualmente — vi um amigo estalar o pulso tentando exatamente isso em um posto de gasolina, e curvas de marcha apertadas continuam sendo um verdadeiro treino para a parte superior do corpo todas as vezes. O que faz você voltar é o simples acontecimento: não há outro cruzador que soe, sinta ou intimide tanto quanto um Rocket III com o acelerador aberto em uma estrada rural.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"The most ridiculous, addictive, impractical motorcycle money can buy used."
$9,000-$18,000 usedThe Rocket III Roadster is genuinely unlike anything else you'll ride. That 2294cc triple is the party piece — 163ft-lb of torque arrives so low in the rev range it feels almost agricultural, but in the best possible way. It pulls hard from walking pace and never stops. First-time riders picking one up used often underestimate how physically demanding it is to maneuver at low speeds. This thing weighs 320kg wet, and parking lot antics will embarrass you until you learn to work with it. Used examples hold value stubbornly, so don't expect bargains. Check the final drive belt obsessively — they're not cheap and owners sometimes neglect them. The older 2006-2012 bikes had some starter motor issues worth investigating. Post-2020 TFC-era bikes are significantly more sophisticated with better electronics and a genuinely improved chassis, worth paying the premium if your budget allows. Maintenance costs bite harder than most bikes at this price point. Dealer servicing isn't cheap and the engine's sheer mass makes DIY work awkward. But nothing else gives you this presence on the road.
