THE ULTIMATE ROCKET... TRIUMPH'ANT!

The story of our Triumph Rocket 3 R, powered by Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE, undergoing another makeover in an epic tribute.

- SUNDEEP GAJJAR

THE Triumph Rocket 3 R has been with us for a while now, and what a journey it has been.

Few motorcycles manage to surprise you long after the novelty wears off, but the Rocket still does. One of the centrepieces of the thrilling experience that we have every time we swing a leg over it is the engine, the 2.5-litre colossal that puts out 221 Nm of wholesome torque.

Every time you fire up that engine, it comes to life with a roar and a jolt. Every time you put it into first gear, the CLANK wakes you up. As you gingerly let go of the clutch lever, it moves ahead effortlessly. And every time you are careless enough to crack open the throttle, the acceleration is otherworldly. Imagine the inertia of this 300-kilo goliath moving gathering speed like it has unlimited power and torque!

Simply put, it is more than an engine to us. It is an experience... and a statement of humankind's engineering prowess. And through all of the years we have spent with this motorcycle, Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE has been the one constant that enables the continued excitement. It is the silent enabler that keeps our Rocket 3 R running cool and smooth. This new avatar of our Rocket 3 R is a tribute to Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE and its Full-Synthetic 5-in-1 Formula, which makes sure that the thrill endures no matter what we do with our Rocket or where it goes! We are going to take you through some of our most epic experiences with the Rocket 3 R and how Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE was there, enabling us to make the most of it. The Rocket 3 R is an alive and rumbling homage to the adage 'There is no replacement for displacement.' Just as there is no replacement for a good engine oil. In our Rocket 3 R's case, it has always been the Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE 15W-50.
