• New for 2024, the Rocket 3 Storm R and GT
• Explosive performance with 15PS power increase (182PS) and even more record-breaking torque, up by 4Nm (225Nm)
• Superior handling with new, lighter cast aluminium wheels

Triumph Motorcycles proudly unveils its latest engineering masterpieces, the Rocket 3 Storm R and GT. More than mere motorcycles, these models stand as symbols of power, elegance, and cutting-edge technology, designed for those who settle for nothing less than the exceptional.

A Legacy Reinvented
Twenty years ago, the original Rocket III made waves as the ultimate muscle roadster. Today, the legacy evolves with the Rocket 3 Storm, boasting the world’s largest production motorcycle engine at 2,458cc. This engine is not just about size—it’s about performance, with a significant boost to 182PS at 7,000rpm and torque increased to a ground-shaking 225Nm at 4,000rpm. These enhancements ensure that the Rocket 3 Storm models deliver explosive acceleration and a flat, rich torque curve that riders will appreciate in every gear.

Designed for Dominance
The design ethos of the Rocket 3 Storm is clear—imposing and dark. With new, lighter ten-spoke cast aluminium wheels, handling becomes more responsive, enhancing the bike’s agility. The colour schemes are equally impressive, with options like Carnival Red with Sapphire Black, and Satin Pacific Blue with Matt Sapphire Black, each complementing the blacked-out components and anodised finishes that give the Rocket 3 Storm a menacing look.

Unparalleled Riding Experience
Triumph’s focus on rider experience is evident in every detail of the Rocket 3 Storm. The bike features an adjustable Showa mono-shock RSU and piggyback reservoir, allowing for a tailored ride that handles smoothly under any conditions. The braking system, equipped with Brembo Stylema calipers, ensures powerful and responsive stopping power, essential for a bike with this much thrust.

Ergonomics and Comfort
Every rider is unique, and the Rocket 3 Storm models cater to this diversity through thoughtful ergonomic design. The Rocket R offers a roadster rider position for those who crave control and power, while the GT variant provides a more relaxed, upright position with a luxuriously padded pillion seat and backrest. Both models feature keyless ignition, multiple riding modes, and intuitive controls that make the Rocket 3 Storm not just powerful but also a pleasure to ride.

Technology at the Forefront
With rider-focused technology such as lean-angle sensitive ABS, traction control, and a high-performance gearbox, the Rocket 3 Storm is built to maximize both safety and enjoyment. The addition of a full-colour TFT display and the option for Triumph’s connectivity system further enhance the user experience, allowing for navigation and easy control of entertainment options.

Make It Yours
Triumph encourages personalization with over 50 genuine accessories. Whether it’s adjusting foot controls, enhancing comfort, or adding a bit of personal flair, the customization options are designed to ensure every Rocket 3 Storm can be tailored to its rider.

Availability
The new Rocket 3 Storm models are set to hit Australian roads with the R model starting at AUD$38,890 ride away and the GT at AUD$39,890 ride away. Eager enthusiasts can expect these stunning models to be available from April 2024.

The Triumph Rocket 3 Storm models promise a blend of raw power, exquisite design, and cutting-edge technology, set to dominate the road and captivate the hearts of motorcycle enthusiasts across the country.
