NEW DELHI: British premium motorcycle brand Triumph Motorcycles on Thursday launched its tourer model, the all-new Rocket 3 GT in India priced at Rs 18.40 lakh (ex-showroom) as it looks to create 'excitement' in the market which has been reeling under the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Rocket 3 GT is the touring variant of the Rocket 3R which was launched in December 2019 and is powered by an all-new 2,500 cc engine, which the company claims is "the world's biggest production motorcycle engine".
"We are focussing greatly on how to continue to create excitement in this industry. We all know we are stressed in the industry right now. The focus from our side is to continuously give reason for customers to come to our showroom and buy our products," Triumph Motorcycles India Business Head Shoeb Farooq told .
He said the company is focussing on bringing new products with 'aggressive pricing' in each segment in order to overcome the current headwinds faced by the industry, specially in the premium motorcycle segment.
"We have launched the Rocket 3 GT at a very very aggressive pricing of Rs 18.40 lakh, which is Rs 40,000 more from the Rocket 3R that we already have. I am sure this is going to go very well with the current context of the situation in the industry," Farooq said.
The all-new Rocket 3 GT is more than 13 per cent lighter than the previous generation.

Globally, the price difference between Rocket 3 GT and the Rocket 3R could range between Rs 1-2 lakh depending on variant, he added.
Stating that the Rocket 3 GT completes the Rocket range which has the roadster and touring variants, Farooq said,"This is another addition to our already robust BS-VI line-up. We are having the biggest line-up of BS-VI in the premium space. This is the 13th BS-VI motorcycle model we have launched in India."
The company had started launching its BS-VI compliant models from January onwards though the last four-five months were turbulent.
"That is really helping us as a brand and we are seeing some recovery for the brand from June onwards," Farooq added.

It’s usually the rider who defines a bike. But these superbikes from movies stretch our imagination from being conventional to unreal and beyond.

This monstrous two-wheeler stands out with its unconventional architecture. It requires it to be piloted partly in a ‘Superman position’ and steered by the shoulders instead of hands. Actually driven in the movie The Dark Knight (2008), it was conceptualised by Nathan Crowley, who also created the Batmobile. The bike has 20-inch front and rear tyres, and the engines are in the hubs of the wheels. Crowley never revealed the power of its engine.
