Triumph Rocket TFC to launch in May

The Hinckley factory have also announced that the recently shared Rocket TFC, the replacement to the Rocket III, is going to be following a similar baptism to the Truxton TFC in May this year.

They said: “The concept for the next TFC model is an all-new Rocket TFC. The world’s biggest production engine transformed, the ultimate motorcycle. Full details and launch to follow on 1st May 2019.”

Given the Rocket TFC’s warm reception from all quarters when the bike broke cover, it’s a safe bet that a limited run of exclusive TFC versions of the Rocket will act as a precursor to a full production version.
