2021 Triumph Rocket 3 R Black revealed

Triumph has introduced a blacked-out version of the Rocket 3 R. Named (unsurprisingly) the Rocket 3 R Black, production is being limited to 1,000 units for distribution around the world.

The bodywork, headlight bezels, radiator cowls and heat shields are all painted black. Continuing the dark theme, there’s a black anodised finish on various components including the brake and clutch levers, handlebar clamps, bar-end mirrors, brake and gear-shift pedals, heel guards, side stand, footrests, swing-arm guard and rear frame forging.

Furthermore, the mighty 2,458 cc three-cylinder engine gains an all-black exhaust system and a black powder-coated intake cover. Output remains rated at 167 PS (165 bhp / 123 kW) and peak torque is still 221 Nm (163 lb-ft).

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
