TRIUMPH have officially confirmed the new Rocket 3 TFC specs and power output this week, and the final numbers make it one of the most exciting bikes of 2019.
After homologating the machine, the Hinckley factory has confirmed that the Triumph Factory Custom (TFC) version of the machine will lay down a tyre shredding 182PS (179bhp) and 225Nm (165lb-ft) of torque.
They also confirm that the bike's weight has been trimmed down to 290kg, a massive 44.5kg weight saving over the original incarnation of the machine. The limited run machine (only 750 will be made) has already sold out in the UK too – so if you wanted one and hadn’t put in an order; tough luck!
The numbers confirmed today far outdo the original estimates given by the factory, we were originally told the power output to be 167bhp and 221Nm – still exciting numbers for a bike of this size and spec.
Triumph Rocket 3 TFC key features:
- 2,500cc triple engine
- The highest torque of any production motorcycle

- Twin LED headlights
- Single sided swingarm
