Triumph Motorcycles has revealed the 2024 Storm iterations: the Rocket 3 R and GT Storm. The models come with new blacked-out bodywork that enhances their visual appeal. The Rocket 3 R and GT get enhancements in engine performance, which is already phenomenal on the standard trims.
The R and GT are powered by the same 2,485-cc 3-cylinder engine. However, the engine gets a performance bump over the previous models. The unit’s power output has now increased to 180 bhp from 165 bhp. Additionally, the torque output has also been increased, which now stands at an astounding 220 Nm. Notably, the base R and GT variants will still be available for purchase with the same output of torque and power.

An additional change in the new models is the updated bodywork, which is more blacked-out than any previous Rocket 3 model made. Triumph is offering the Rocket 3 R and GT with three color options: Satin Pacific Blue, Carnival Red, and Sapphire Black. Additionally, a few components get a black anodized finish, including the footrest, handlebar clamps, rear frame forging, swingarm guard, and risers.
The Rocket R and GT Storm retain several features from the standard models, such as hill hold control, cruise control, four riding modes, and a keyless ignition system. The Triumph GT trim comes as a laidback trim of the two, and as standard, it gets heated grips, which are also equipped in the R model. By paying a premium, customers can also get a tyre pressure monitoring system, a phone connectivity module for the TFT dash, and a quick shifter.
The Rocket 3 R and GT Storm trims will reach the brand’s dealerships in the international market on April 24, 2024. The Standard Rocket 3 model is also available in the Indian market. The new variants are also expected to be launched in the Indian market. However, the auto giant has not confirmed anything yet.
