- A demure ability to provide all that #power and torque without scaring the living daylights out of the rider with engineering brilliance and such refined attention to detail, the character of the motor, chassis and electronics combine to create such an enveloping ride. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 2020 #Triumph #Rocket3.
Hear what Bennetts BikeSocial's Michael Mann has to say after his first ride on the new machine at the press launch in Tenerife.

I really, really, really am in love with Triumph. and this piece is out of this world. Triumph Rocket 3GT. Wao!
AWESOME WE love the sound of the engine... we can't wait for summer time... we love traveling on motorcycles...
It's bonkers and beautiful. I want ONE !
Great looking bike especially the exhaust and single sided swing arm
another great review. thanks
Great video, pity about the audio quality in parts. My R is arriving in about 10 days’ time. Can’t wait😎
Bar steward 😉
RocketMan We saw your video. You hate Rocket 3 so much.
With the revised frame and swingarm setup on this model, would a sidecar attachment be out of the question ? And how do you think it would handle unsealed roads ?
Amazing review...location super
What's it like for the passenger? My Thunderbird LT is great for the missus's comfort but the new Rocket 3 looks a bit cramped?
My ScramblerXE 1200 has the exact same TFT and I’ve been waiting for the GoPro/Nav option for mooooonths! Is it officially activated on the R3? The module was supposed to release last spring, then early fall but I still haven’t heard anything? That’s good news if the R3 has it then my ScramblerXE can be updated!
I'm more to like sporty rider so which rocket 3 is comfortable and suits for my daily commute Bennetts Bike
Fantastic bike great video 🇬🇧👍
Is the windshield really effective on the GT model?
Is it hot (or very hot) on right leg near the exhaust pipe ?
Great review.
What r the differences in mode operation,??
Own a Triumph Daytona 675R and Kawasaki Vulcan s. Will it be very heavy to push? I am 5'6".
Great review thanks!
kramerdm Thanks very much, glad you liked it. Cheers, Michael
You're above the clouds ... on a Rocket , was that such a surprise ? :-D
Great style of review
colin pirie Thanks Colin, I’ll try to do more like this. Cheers, Michael
How does it feel in the corner???
Kardan shaft to the rear wheel?
เยี่ยมครับ👍 good
I have been waiting for this review for a while now. The rocket is one of those motorcycles that you buy because you want to enjoy something special.
I always enjoy your reviews and this one is not the exception. I have just one question. The wind screen on the GT is it any good? It seems a bit small.
Thanks for the comment! The screen does look small but it works really well - at least it did for me at 6ft and 14st wearing an AGV Pista GPR.It's been designed by someone who knows what a screen needs to do!

GT or R?? Which one did you like?
@@jj-bu6cq I thought I'd prefer the R being a little more sporty but the GT is the one I'd have given its comfort and flexibility with use. Cheers, Michael
Where were you riding?
Country/state/highway???
Bennetts Bike, Which color would you pick for the rocket 3 r red or black
The red looks best to me. It stands out.
Thank you Bennetts Bike I had a hard choice in deciding the color for the rocket 3 r now I'm satisfied
Same controls as on the Scrambler 1200, and wasn't a fan either, feels cheap and its easy to hit the menu button when going for the indicators and vice-versa. With that said, can't wait to demo one.
I've got a Rocket ordered and wasn't sure about the TFT Dash, but I tried it on the Scrambler and it was pretty cool.
What a road !!
pauly680 When the mountain-photographing tourists aren’t pulling onto/off it with zero indication then Tenerife has some of the finest roads.
This is the opposite of what I admire about a motorcycle, and yet, I can’t look away.
yes please..
Is it faster then the Yamaha V-max
Cracking bike. I just wonder why the bike is priced almost £4k less for each model in the US than it is in the UK?
In Norway it’s £30.000.. Even though we only have 6 months of summer at best, I still want one.
Love the look. Very unique and powerful. These big bikes are Huge. Perhaps too big.
Lol. A lot of the old Rocket owners don't like it because it's not 'big enough'.
Probably like a woman who get huge and ridiculous Breast Implants and then complains they are too small. That is a mental disorder.
Nice road
is it electric? Cant hear it...
I feel like this should have a reverse assist, cause the turning radius must be horrible and not to mention the weight
Sat nav?
Did they do anything to reduce the intense heat on your legs?
Good Times after a day swapping between R and GT, I didn’t notice anything like that.
I've heard you can feel it a bit on the GT sometimes, but the R seems fine.
No heat, I rode one for a week
LED’s, color TFT and electric windscreen for the beast please.
Z900 is half the price with the same experience. For a bike over $20k, I'd get the Goldwing or Electra glide. I've already owned a super cruiser, the 1983 V65 Magna. I'm guessing the Rocket 0 to 60 is slower than my Bandit 1200S which was on sale for $5500 new.
All I need to know now is, when is mine at the dealers to collect.......
Should be dealers by early Feb
@@bennettsbikesocial Is that to walk in and purchase - we have had orders in for month and deposits down....
Mines due next week fingers crossed 🤞🏽
This Bike is not available in India Brother🙄
The exhaust note is the only bad thing on this bike.
Great review! I just don’t like the headlights, it makes it look dorky.
Love the headlights. It looks like a Speed Triple on mega-steroids.
How have they managed to get so little hp from such a big engine?
165 hp and 165 torque are not bad stock numbers. A costly modification $3,700, bumps engine output to over 240 hp and 195 torque
15 days or less till I get my TFC!!
Omni Law Handsome😎😎😎😎
You are a lucky man!
No joy boys, still not here. I'll update with my bike number when I get it haha.
221 Nm is 163 Lbs/ foot torque
I feel sorry for any passenger when it's raining and they get all the mud and road oil flung from that rear tire to the back of their helmet and jacket....lol....
Looks freaking nuts.
I bet it's a gas guzzler.
221NM is equal to 163 ft.lbs
Right, lm selling the house, buying the new rocket move to Tenerife, and live in a tent, l will just check it out with the wife see what she thinks!!
I will stick with my 2017 Rocket Roadster, it does have a bit less horsepower and a few extra kilo's..... but the torque (221nm) is the same as the new model and believe me.........torque is what these things are all about!! Im not such a big fan of the look of the new one either.....looks a bit out of proportion to me. As for electronic gadgetry......meh......on my bike it has ABS....the rest is up to you and your throttle hand!!! 😈 👋 🇦🇺
So... Triumph has taken you to Tenerife , to review there Bike .....
What does that say about your review. ..!
It's an international press launch with journalists from around the world converging on a location selected by the manufacturer to show their new product to its best ability. This has been a tried, tested and familiar format for decades.
And there in lies the problem...
Having said said that enjoyed your review, one of the best ..

@@bennettsbikesocial
Yup, as you said,
"tried and tested ".
By the manufacturers that is, works great for them...
There they're their
Don't like to speedo looks like a bicycle radio.
Awesome bike very nice but biking is about freedom not about spending that much ..
I think buyers will have this bike for a short time and then the novelty will wear and get tired of it. In two or three years there will be loads of used rockets for sale
My father's bike meter has reached its limits
Though it's not a sports bike
no one can prove the top speed of the all new Triumph 2500cc
Fuck! 294kg? It’s lighter than my Raider 1900 which is 334kg but I’ll stick to mine. I’m from the old school, on side wheel shaft not for me. I don’t trust that for lasting. And the sound is not that great. I don’t like it much.
210 miles on a full tank.
Really? How u get to know?
Yeah...where did you get that from?
18 Liter fuel tank is 4.75 Gallons at 41mpg equals 194.75 miles per tank..
Dam i need a better job🤦♂️
Too much of too much means too much too much, or too too much for short.
So, it's perfect?
Yet another motorbike review with no engine roaring sounds...
What a ridiculous bike lol. You would be better off with a pick-up truck, you could carry lots of stuff & it would stand up on its own :)))
Too big ,too ugly ,too expensive, a pointless exercise by triumph just for the US market ,they like big fat ugly motorcycles, why don’t Triumph make a retro 500cc Daytona on similar lines to the T 100 Bonneville for the U K and European markets ,as small motorcycle are fun to ride in the Real world road conditions where the National speed limit is 70 mph, or as Triumph forgot this. Triumph look how well the Royal Enfield 650 is doing.
It looks gorgeous. Have you heard of punctuation? You know, the odd comma?
20k 🤣🤣🤣, yeah ok Triumph.
Compared to Harleys good value.
The bike isn't expensive, you're just poor. 😂😂
Bargain!
Look at the price of all high end bikes, it's priced about right.
30k in Norway.. Still a bargain.
