The Triumph Rocket 3 R Black Edition is based on the standard model. Although as its name suggests, it gets a complete blacked-out look.
The motorcycle sports a matte black paint scheme, to begin with. The black theme also features on the badging, wheels, headlamp bezel, and the massive 2500cc engine and exhausts.
Paying attention to details, Triumph Motorcycle has even adorned the mirror, handlebar clamps, brake and gear levers and pedals in black to complete the theme. Moreover, the Rocket 3 R Black also gets a carbon fibre fender.
Apart from the unique, blacked-out look, the Triumph Rocket 3 R Black Edition is limited to just 1000 units worldwide to add to its exclusivity. However, the rest of the motorcycle remains the same.
It comes with a 2500cc, inline-three engine that is good for 167bhp and 221Nm. The suspension hardware comes from Showa while Brembo calipers perform braking duties.
The electronics equipment on the Triumph Rocket 3 R consists of a Bluetooth-enabled TFT screen, six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, cornering traction control, four riding modes- Road, Rain, Sport and Rider configurable, a cruise control system, hill hold control, as well as keyless ignition.
