Triumph Rocket 3 TFC Sold Out In North America

Triumph has just announced that demand for the Rocket III TFC surpassed the number allocated for the North American market, and all allocated numbers have been fully committed.

Only 750 examples of the Triumph Rocket 3 TFC are offered on sale globally

The new Triumph Rocket 3 TFC is a limited edition model with only 750 bikes made available across the world, but India will not be getting the TFC model. A final production model will be launched in the next few months, which will definitely be launched in India, in all likelihood, as a 2020 model with an India launch by the first quarter of 2020. The new Triumph Rocket 3 TFC gets a brand new engine with a displacement bump to 2,458 cc from its in-line, three-cylinder motor, which now puts out 180 bhp and a whopping 230 Nm of peak torque.

The addition of carbon fibre bits all over have helped in weight savings up to 40 kg

The Rocket 3 TFC gets a long list of changes, including an all-new design, and lighter components. In all, the new Rocket 3 TFC has shed 40 kg over its predecessor, with lighter engine components, including titanium valves that allow for a higher redline, and a new aluminium frame with the three-pot motor used as a stressed member. The Rocket 3 now uses a single-sided swingarm and a shaft-drive system. The trademark twin headlights now get LED DRLs, and the bike also gets a new full-colour TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, as well as GoPro integration.

The Triumph Rocket 3 TFC is underpinned by a new aluminium frame, and there are more electronics too

The electronics package has been completely updated with new riding modes, advanced ABS, traction control and other features like cruise control, hill hold control, keyless ignition and tyre pressure monitoring system. The Rocket 3 TFC gets standard Arrow exhaust system with carbon-tipped ends, but the final production model may miss out on the Arrow exhaust as well as carbon fibre body parts. Once launched in India, expect a price tag of around Rs. 19-20 lakh (ex-showroom) when the production model is introduced.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
