Triumph teases '20 Rocket III in TFC reveal
British firm announces premium range, releasing sneak peak at new Rocket III in the process ...Triumph will offer a limited-edition line-up of ultra-premium motorcycles from this year onwards called Triumph Factory Custom (TFC) models. It has kicked off proceedings with the release of 750 examples of the Triumph Thruxton TFC and, just to ensure it has your attention, has released images of what it's calling the Concept Rocket TFC, a model set to be officially released on May 1.
As well as the Thruxton TFC boasting gold-coloured TFC badges, it's likely to gain around 10 more horsepower than the standard 1200cc version, plus top-shelf Öhlins and Brembo componentry and a dual titanium Vance & Hines exhaust system with carbon-fibre end caps.
The model is finished off with a billet machined top yoke which has been individually numbered and a signed letter of authentication.
