2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Triumph's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring utilizes a 2294 cc (140 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 105.9 HP (77.3 kW) at 5,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 46.2 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Rocket III Touring measures 395 kg (871 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.27 HP/kg (3.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 730 mm (28.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,705 mm (67.1 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.3-liter (5.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
