Regular readers here know how much we love TTS Performance's supercharged creations and its mastery of supercharging Harley-Davidsons and Suzuki Hayabusas. As TTS founder Richard Albans loves new challenges, the company has supercharged an already-rampant Triumph Rocket 3, which now produces over 340 horsepower.
In addition to the supercharger, there's a lot going on here. CNC'ed from billet, the bespoke case blends perfectly behind the motorcycle's radiator, so much so that you might even think it's a normal Rocket 3.
Although the ear-deafening exhaust note will eventually reveal the supercharged nature, the point is how tightly wound everything looks. Through trick-looking carbon fiber ducts, the cover supplies air to the stock air filter. Since there is no intercooler here, the supercharger cycle is considerably shorter.
The engine internals, such as pistons, camshafts, and throttle bodies, have been left as-is, so more power can be extracted. With the supercharger kit, the Rocket 3 now delivers 342 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque.
The stock motorcycle produces 165 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque. In a straight line, TTS Performance predicts it will exceed 180mph - if you're brave enough to hold on. According to TTS, the Rocket 3 already achieved 165mph in fifth gear (on the dyno).
What’s The Price Of The Triumph Rocket 3 Supercharger Kit?
You'll be happy to know TTS' supercharger kit for the Rocket 3 is available if you like what you see (don't forget to check out the full video). Pricing has not yet been announced, but you can place an order on TTS' website now.
We have already sold ten Rocket 3s, and only five more will be commissioned, so hurry up! If you're reading this from the States, however, you'll need to source the kit from the UK, buy yourself a Rocket 3 (new ones sell for $23,400), and have it installed by a mechanic. It may be a tedious task, but we guarantee it'll be worth it!
