Triumph Motorcycles has announced the launch of the new Rocket 3 GT in the Indian market. The touring-spec power cruiser has been priced at Rs 18.40 lakh. Here we list the alternatives that you can consider in a similar price range.
Triumph Rocket 3 R (Rs 18 lakh)
The R variant of the Triumph Rocket 3 series is available at Rs 18 lakh. The R variant features a relatively sportier riding position than the GT model. It uses a flat handlebar, shorter fly screen and centre-set footpegs. The styling cues include LED headlamps, a peanut-shaped fuel tank, a floating tail, chunky wheels, and a twin slash-cut exhaust. The motorcycle is powered by a 2,500cc, inline three-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 165bhp at 6,000rpm and 221Nm of peak torque at 4,000rpm.
Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (Rs 18.25 lakh)
The American cruiser motorcycle is available at Rs 18.25 lakh, which makes it Rs 15,000 cheaper than the Triumph power cruiser. The motorcycle features a rear-swept handlebar, forward-set footpegs, an LED headlight, and split-style seats. The Fat Boy is powered by a 1,746cc, V-twin engine that produces 145Nm of peak torque at 3,000rpm. The twin-cylinder motor is linked to a six-speed gearbox.
Ducati Panigale V2 (Rs 16.99 lakh)
Buyers looking for a sportier motorcycle can check the newly launched Ducati Panigale V2. The new V2 variant of the Panigale series is powered by a 955cc, twin-cylinder motor that produces 152.8bhp of peak power at 10,750rpm and 104Nm of maximum torque at 9,000rpm. The engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox, and it benefits from a bi-directional quick shifter. The Panigale V2 draws styling cues from the litre-class Panigale V4 superbike.
