Practicality and opinion about Triumph Rocket 3After riding almost 20,000 km, I got to know this motorcycle a bit closer. This beast has a 2,500 cc engine and is as strong as a buffalo, fast as the name suggests, but handy to drive. Unfortunately, apart from advantages, i... Read moret also has disadvantages.
Advantages of the Triumph Rocket 3:
- Very nice, unique ,modern and premium looks.
- The driving position in the GT version is comfortable
- It is well guided even by a short motorcyclist - each feet can reach the gear lever and the foot brake.
- Heated grips in GT.
-Rocket 3 has adaptive cruise control which is very practical and can be quickly adjusted with two clicks while riding
- Has several driving modes (sport also)
- The graphic design on the tachograph changes automatically to day and night and the whole clock can be set up-down
- Great working BREMBO brakes.
- The front-rear suspension is adjustable and can be customized according to your needs
- The double eyepiece of the front lighting is LED and also can be adjusted slightly.
- There is an optional "quick shifter" for an extra charge. This is a very practical option to change gears without using the clutch.
- The center of gravity is placed closer to the rear of the engine, so the rear tire does not wear out as quickly as the weight of the motorcycle would indicate.
Disadvantages of the Triumph Rocket 3.
-Quite expensive motorcycle even as standard plus expensive extras.
- Fuel-hungry - unfortunately, 3 cylinders and this power are constantly thirsty.
- Settings on the "clock" are hardly visible and cannot be done
while driving - they require concentration and attention.
- The rear suspension is difficult to adjust despite adjustments
- Perceptible vibration and volume from the cardan shaft transmitting drive and power to the rear wheel.
- Lack of good protection on the right side of the engine on the exhaust pipes. In shorts in QLD, after driving 30 km, extremely hot air escapes and it is easy to burn your leg.
- The worst negative thing I noticed and feel every time I brake harder with the rear wheel - the bike tends to slide to the left side. YES, YES to the side where there is a single suspension and drive arm at the same time. I checked it on a completely flat asphalt and unfortunately it pulls to the side where it is a suspension arm.
- ABS is not a very practical addition to BREMBO brakes because they are reliable and perfect.
