The Rocket 3 GT tips the scales at 294 kg while its roadster counterpart is 3 kg lighter. Compared to the Rocket 3 R, the Triumph Rocket 3 GT offers a relaxed riding position, all thanks to the forward set footpegs along with a slightly pulled-back handlebar. Also, the lower seat height of 750 mm makes it quite accessible despite its high kerb weight.

The Triumph Rocket 3 R that was launched in India in December last year is currently priced at Rs 18 lakh.
