The 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 is available in two variants which are the R and the GT. The Rocket 3 R gets a sportier handlebar and footpegs positioned in the mid-section of the bike. It gets blacked out cast wheels. The GT is more comfort-oriented model for touring. It gets a lower seat height, an adjustable backrest for the passenger, adjustable passenger footpegs, a slightly taller flyscreen and heated grips. The rider seating position on the GT is more touring-friendly with a slightly taller handlebar and forward-set footpegs, which offer three horizontal position settings.

The biggest change in the 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 is the new engine. It displaces 2,458 cc and it is the world's largest production motorcycle engine with higher capacity and performance than the last generation Rocket III. The in-line, three-cylinder, DOHC engine puts out 165 bhp of maximum power at 6,000 rpm and a massive 221 Nm of peak torque at just 4,000 rpm. The engine is lighter by 18 kg, due to a lighter crankcase assembly which save 11 kg, a new dry sump lubrication system with integral oil tank which saves 3.9 kg, and new balancer shafts which save 3.6 kg. The Rocket 3 has claimed acceleration figures of 0-60 mph (0-96 kmph) in just 2.79 seconds.

We expect the 2020 Rocket 3 to be launched in India sometime in mid-2020, with prices ranging from Rs. 16-18 lakh (ex-showroom). The new-generation Triumph Rocket 3 will compete head on with the Ducati Diavel 1260 and the Ducati XDiavel.
