Still the Torque King, Now in Fresh War Paint

Just when you thought the Rocket 3 Storm had maxed out on attitude, Triumph cranks it up again. The 2026 update doesn’t mess with the formula under the tank, but it does turn heads with some serious new paint.

You’ve still got the beastly Rocket 3 R Storm and the long-haul friendly GT Storm, only now they come with attitude.

Design and New Colors

The design hasn’t changed much – and it didn’t need to. What’s new is the character:

• Rocket 3 R Storm gets a fresh Satin Baja Orange and Matt Sapphire Black look, with silver coachlines.
• The GT Storm version tones it down with classier shades like Matt Sapphire Black and Satin Granite, with Korosi Red accents.

These new colors make the already massive road presence even bigger. Whether you’re parked or cruising, this bike demands a double-take.

Power Like No Other

At the heart is the 2,458cc inline 3-cylinder engine – still the biggest on any production bike in the world. That’s not just on paper:

• Max Power: 182 PS at 7,000 rpm
• Max Torque: A crazy 225 Nm at 4,000 rpm

Crack open the throttle and the Rocket surges ahead with brute force. No matter the gear, it delivers relentless, effortless power.

Ride and Handling

For something this powerful, it’s surprisingly tame when you need it to be. Here’s why:

• All-aluminum frame is lighter than you’d expect.
• Showa adjustable suspension smooths out the ride.
• Brembo Stylema brakes and Cornering ABS keep that power in check.

The Rocket 3 Storm handles sharp turns better than some smaller bikes.

Tech That Works With You

This isn’t just brute power. The Rocket 3 Storm also has useful tech:

• Full-color TFT dash with Bluetooth
• Four riding modes including one you can customize
• You get smart rider aids like lean-sensitive braking, grip management in corners, hill-start assist, and cruise-friendly features.
• All-LED lighting, USB port, keyless ignition

Everything’s designed to help you ride longer and smarter.

R vs GT: Which One’s For You?

Both models have the same engine, but they ride very differently:

• Rocket 3 R Storm is more upright and aggressive. Seat height: 773mm.
• GT Storm is for touring. Lower 750mm seat, backrest and heated grips.

Choose your vibe: muscle roadster or laid-back cruiser.

Prices in India

Pricing remains the same as last year:

• Rocket 3 R Storm: ₹22.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
• Rocket 3 GT Storm: ₹23.09 lakh (ex-showroom)

The 2026 colors will hit Indian showrooms soon.
