Triumph’s Rocket X from the iconic British motorcycle manufacturer is a unique motorcycle with the most unmistakable presence on two wheels. There is nothing else like it on the road, and no other motorcycling experience even gets close to the sense of the awesome potency of a Rocket III Roadster making progress.
With its 2,294cc three cylinder engine sitting inline with the chassis, the Rocket X is home to the world’s largest production motorcycle engine. Delivering a 221Nm sledgehammer of torque at just 2,750rpm, the Rocket X delivers extraordinary acceleration in any gear at any revs. The very limited edition Rocket X has a stunning, premium custom paint scheme created by leading custom paint specialists 8 Ball. The sheer depth of the gloss Jet Black paint contrasting with the ‘grinded’ polished metal stripe, Triumph logo, and Rocket X emblems offer an incredible quality and sense of solidity.
The tank and mudguards are stripped completely back and then undergo a ‘grind’ effect that provides unique shapes into the bare metal. The tank stripes and logo are carefully lined, and then follows the painting process when craftsmen apply a Jet Black base layer, followed by a clear coat layer. After leaving two days for the paint to rest and cure, six layers of lacquer are applied using ultra high solid paint.
Vying for attention with the custom paint and 2.3 litre engine is the black exhaust system. A black fly screen shrouds the chrome ringed instruments to add even more visual presence. The mean look has also been further enhanced with the addition of black finishing to the handlebars, mirrors, gear, and brake levers.
The oil tank is machined from a billet of solid aluminium using a CNC milling machine. Price: `22.21 lakh (ex-showroom) New Delhi.
