Overview
The Triumph Rocket 3 R is a cruiser from the 2020–2024 Rocket 3 R model family. For 2024, its naturally aspirated, liquid-cooled 2,458 cm³ inline three-cylinder engine produces 180 hp (134 kW) and 225 Nm at 4,000 rpm; wet weight is 317 kg.
That torque is available at 4,000 rpm, giving the engine strong pull without needing high revs. The 773 mm seat height helps indicate how far you will need to reach to the ground, while the 317 kg wet weight takes effort to maneuver at low speed. An 18 L tank gives a calculated range of about 265 km, with fuel consumption of 6.8 L/100 km. Shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment; adjustable Showa suspension allows setup changes, and Cornering ABS supports braking while leaned over. Power increased for 2024, reaching 134 kW from 120.4 kW in 2023.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Strong low-rev pull
The 225 Nm peak at 4,000 rpm gives the engine substantial pulling force without requiring high revs.
Shaft final drive
Shaft drive removes the need to clean and adjust a drive chain.
Adjustable suspension
Compression and rebound adjustment up front, plus adjustable rear suspension with remote hydraulic preload, let riders tailor the setup.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 317 kg wet, the Rocket 3 R can take considerable effort to maneuver in tight spaces or while parking.
Limited distance between fuel stops
The 18 L tank gives a calculated full-tank range of about 265 km, so longer rides involve regular fuel stops.
