Triumph Motorcycles has launched limited Rocket X to mark the 10th year of its production and will be priced at Rs. 22.21,200 Lakh ex-showroom New Delhi. The company had earlier launched the Rocket III way back in 2004. With its 2,294cc three cylinder engine sitting inline with the chassis, the Rocket X is the world’s largest production motorcycle engine. Delivering a 221Nm torque at 2750rpm, the Rocket X delivers extraordinary acceleration in any gear.
Firstly the tank and mudguards are stripped completely back and then undergo a ‘grind’ effect that provides unique shapes into the bare metal. The tank stripes and logo are carefully lined, and then follows the painting process when craftsmen apply a Jet Black base layer, followed by a clear coat layer. After leaving 2 days for the paint to rest and cure, a total of 6 layers of lacquer are applied using ultra high solid paint. The paintwork is then highly polished and again left for 2 days to cure. Second polishing is then applied to provide an incredible smooth finish with amazing depth. The twin-skinned full exhaust system is coated with high temperature resistance paint. Black finishing is implemented to the handlebars, mirrors, gear, and brake levers. The Rocket’s signature 5-spoke aluminium alloy wheels have also received the black treatment and are skilfully finished off with a hand painted pinstripe.
Vimal Sumbly, Managing Director, Triumph Motorcycles India, said "In continuation to our celebration of achieving 1600+ customers in India, we are elated to offer this Limited Edition Rocket X to the passionate motorcyclists in the country. One in a million, with a personalized numbered side panel and a billet aluminium "Rocket X" name badge, the Rocket X is as exclusive as it can get."
There will be limited 500 Rocket X sold which will feature side panel badging and unique numbering. Finally the oil tank mounted Rocket X badge is machined from a billet of solid aluminium using a CNC milling machine adding an exquisite premium finish.
