Triumph launches the Rocket 3 GT Triple Black

As its name suggests, the new 2021 Rocket 3 GT Triple Black limited edition motorcycle gets a unique dark look.

A predominantly black colour scheme is complemented by a black painted finish on numerous components. Among them are the headlight bezels, radiator cowls and seat finishers.
