Triumph Reveals Four New Special Edition Motorcycles

British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph has revealed four new special edition motorcycles - 221 Rocket 3 R, 221 Rocket 3 GT, Thruxton RS Ton Up Edition and the Street Twin EC1. All four bikes are mechanically unchanged compared to their regular models but feature a few cosmetic changes.

The Triumph 221 Rocket 3 R and 221 Rocket 3 GT celebrate the regular Rocket 3's world-leading torque output of 221Nm. The 221 special editions of the Rocket 3 are available in both GT and R configurations of the powerful British motorcycle.

The 221 Edition of the Rocket 3 sports a unique Red Hopper paint scheme for the fuel tank and front mudguard. The rear section of the bike along with the headlight surrounds, flyscreen, radiator cowls and side panels are painted Sapphire black.

There are also unique '221' graphics on various sections of the bike to remind you of the torque figure of the new Rocket 3's 2.45-litre 3-cylinder engine which is the largest engine ever fitted to a production bike. The engine produces 164bhp which is sent to the rear wheel via a 6-speed manual gearbox with a slipper clutch.

The Thruxton RS Ton Up Edition celebrates the 1960s which was a period of time when the Thruxton became the first-ever motorcycle to complete a lap of the Isle of Man TT circuit at 100miles/hour (161km/h).

To celebrate this the Thruxton RS Ton Up Edition sports a rather unique livery which includes an 'Aegean Blue' paint scheme for the fuel tank with black knee guards and silver coach lines. The rear cowl is done up in white and features '100 Special Edition' graphics in red.

The Thruxton RS Ton Up Edition retains the Thruxton RS's 1200cc twin-cylinder engine that produces 103.5bhp and 112Nm of peak torque. Power is sent to the rear wheel via a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The fourth and final special edition bike revealed by Triumph is the Bonneville Street Twin EC1. Triumph claims that the Street Twin EC1 will remind people of the custom-classic motorcycle culture of London's East End. The bike draws its name from the EC1 Postal Code district in East Central London which incorporates the areas of Clerkenwell, Farringdon, Hatton Garden, Finsbury Estate (west), Finsbury, Moorfields Eye Hospital, St Luke's, St Bartholomew's Hospital and Bunhill Fields.

The Street Twin EC1 also sports a rather unique silver livery which consists of two different paints - Matt Aluminium Silver and Matt Silver. The dual silver paint job is offset by EC1 and special edition graphics which can be found on multiple panels of the bike.

The Street Twin EC1 retains the regular bike's 900cc 270-degree parallel-twin engine that produces 64bhp and 80Nm of torque. The other mechanical bits are also unchanged on the special edition bike.

Triumph hasn't revealed the pricing for these special edition bikes which will be on sale for a period of 12 months.
