The Triumph Rocket III initially began as a project back in 1998. At that time, Triumph was trying to find a way to break into the American big cruiser market that was dominated by Harley-Davidson. After years of development, the Rocket III was launched in 2004, signifying a move by Triumph to become a major player in a segment that featured big bikes with big engines.
Well, it doesn’t get any bigger than the Rocket III, thanks in large part to having a 2.3-liter, three-cylinder engine lying inside of it. In case you didn’t know, that’s the biggest engine of any production motorcycle in the business today.
Despite initially struggling to find its own niche, the Rocket III eventually settled in as a street fighter with the Rocket III Roadster eventually becoming the most powerful bike in the entire lineup.
For what it’s worth, the Rocket III will continue to hold this title until a bigger bike comes into the scene. That’s a future that likely won’t arrive anytime soon.
