Features

Chassis

  • WHEELS / TIRES: The rear wheel diameter on the Rocket III is 16 inches to emphasize the fatness of the back tire but to give you a more agile bike too.
  • BRAKES: A bike like this needs a pair of vice-like, four-piston calipers. Gripping the 320mm discs and backed up by our advanced ABS system and a huge 316mm disc at the rear.
  • FRAME: We developed the big, tubular steel twin spine design to be strong and rigid enough to contain this powerhouse of a motor. But we focused on giving you an improbable level of agility too.
  • HANDLING: The Rocket III gives you low speed balance and beautifully neutral steering so when you’re faced with a twisty road you can be filled with anticipation and confidence.
  • SUSPENSION: We gave the front end sports-bike-style upside down forks 43mm in diameter so they’re strong enough to cope with all the forces a bike like this can deal out.

Engine

  • SHAFT DRIVE: With a shaft drive that needs no maintenance outside the scheduled service intervals, you have a roadster that’s so reliable, durable and engaging that you could even go touring on it.
  • CONFIGURATION: The three big cylinders are arranged lengthways along the bike to keep it manageably narrow and align the crankshaft with the shaft final drive, but to tame the reaction of the massive torque, the crankshaft counter-rotates so the bike stays steady when the throttle’s blipped.
  • ENGINE: With the world’s biggest production motorcycle engine the latest Rocket III Roadster builds on the huge performance of the original Rocket III but now with even more torque.
  • POWER AND PERFORMANCE: With a shaft drive that needs no maintenance outside the scheduled service intervals, you have a roadster that’s so reliable, durable and engaging that you could even go touring on it.

Standard Features

  • TECHNOLOGY: This is a premium flagship motorcycle so we equipped it accordingly. All the instruments are all there for you, fuel gauge, gear indicator, dual trip and clock in addition to the basic functions. Then there’s the signature massive twin headlights making a powerful style statement and lighting up the road ahead at night for safer riding. The advanced ABS brakes on the Rocket III Roaster are fitted as standard. This is a massive bike that comes with huge amounts of control.
