The first deliveries have begun across Delhi, Pune, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Kochi, and all 40 motorcycles in the first batch are now sold out. The second batch of the Rocket 3R motorcycles will be delivered in February and March. The Rocket 3R is priced at ₹ 18 lakh (ex-showroom) and was launched in India in December 2019, and the power cruiser is widely regarded as a statement boasting of the world's largest motorcycle production engine.

"We're glad to kick start the deliveries of the Rocket 3R. We've had an astounding demand to bring the product into the country, and an even amplified response to the bookings. I'm glad to say that the first batch of 40 Rocket 3Rs that are coming to India have been sold out. Keeping in mind the enthusiastic response we are receiving for our flagship motorcycle, our next action is to carry out the deliveries well within time," said Shoeb Farooq, General Manager, Triumph Motorcycles India.
