Motorcycle specifications Triumph2500 Rocket III GT Triple Black 2021 The night of Leviathan

It' s not a level of finish; it's an appetite, found in many manufacturers. Obscurity! Whether glossy, matte, satin-finish, draped, suggested, omnipotent, harsh or delicate, it can be found on many models. The Rocket III GT "Triple Black" is another way of seeing darkness torn apart by power. Three cylinders, three tailpipes, three hundred kilos, three shades of black.

For Triumph, that means black all over. As on the R Black version. But.... The GT already comes in Phantom Black - what's the difference?
There's even more: all around the radiator, the fork tees, the headlight surrounds, the brake caliper mounts, the handlebars, their bridges, the exhaust line, the foot controls, the rear sub-frame, the sissy-bar and the front mudguard. The latter is made of carbon.
Where this monstrous cruiser justifies its name is in the staggered superimposition of three layers of paint on its fuel tank. It slides seamlessly from granite to chocolate, ending in shadow.

It 's clear that black has pride of place. On the technical side, nothing changes. The enormous engine belches out 167 hp and, above all, a colossal torque of over 22 mkg. As on the R, the electronic equipment is substantial and the chassis is sturdy. The main difference between the two versions lies in the way the crew is welcomed: a more relaxed driving position for the rider and greater comfort for the passenger.

The Rocket III made its comeback with a top-of-the-range TFC model. It doesn't seem to be in a hurry to take on this demanding role again. So it settles for an elegance shrouded in black. 1000 examples will be produced, for a handsome check of 25,000 euros. A certificate of authenticity accompanies this dark excess.
