How powerful is Triumph’s New Rocket 3 Storm R/GT duo?
Believe it or not, this 2500cc triple heart is touted by Triumph to be capable of 0-60 mph in just 2.73 seconds – a stunning boast, though no different than that of previous models (via Motorcycle.com, March 13, 2020).
Still, the specs are impressive, with Triumph’s new Rocket 3 Storm R and Storm GT duo showing off:
- An 11% uptick in power to 164hp @ 6,000rpm
- An increase in torque from 163lb-ft to 166lb-ft of peak yank @ 4,000rpm
- An engine “tuned to deliver power from a low 3,500rpm, up to 7,000rpm”
