Triumph Motorcycles is likely to launch a new version of the 2.3-litre three-cylinder cruiser in 2019 and if we were to believe the pictures and information from a Triumph dealer conference, an updated model may already be underway.
In a dealer conference in October, a design sketch of a possible new model of the Triumph Rocket III was briefly flashed on the screen. Though there is no solid information about the launch, the bike is speculated to be an updated model of the Triumph Rocket III, whose production was ceased since it did not meet the latest emission regulations.
The 2019 Triumph Rocket is likely to get a Euro-IV-compliant version of the 2,294 cc three-cylinder engine. The last generation of Triumph Rocket churned about 148 bhp and the 2019 model is expected to get a power- up. New riding modes, traction control and maybe even wheelie control are expected in the new model.

From the design sketches, it is likely that the 2019 Triumph Rocket will get a single-sided swingarm, upside down forks with radial Brembo calipers gripping the twin discs. The new model will most likely retain the round twin headlights from the previous model. While, the suspension can be changed to a monoshock rear from the twin shocks.
The 2019 Triumph Rocket III is estimated to be unveiled in the second half of the next year.
