Fancy a particularly special accessory for the Triumph Rocket TFC? How about a pair of 500hp jet engines?
The British bike manufacturer received a lot of interest when the TFC concept first appeared. But in case the standard model wasn’t quite powerful enough, you can order a pair of jet engines, fitted in place of the standard exhausts, and engaged by the switchgear-operated Rocket mode.
The jet engines are designed and constructed at the Triumph headquarter in Hinckley, Leicestershire. And they will require a bespoke fuel tank on the bike to separate the standard and jet fuel reserves.
S.P. Aceman, Chief Project Engineer for Triumph Motorcycles, said: “The Rocket TFC is an exceptional model and with the new Rocket Mode Thrusters will beat just about anything in a straight line, including up. It’s very exciting to bring powerful hybrid technology to the forefront of the motorcycle industry in the form of a bike as iconic as the Rocket. Product development continues at pace for this very special motorcycle with an optional re-entry fairing due to be tested shortly.
If you want a jet-powered Triumph Rocket using the official jet engine accessories, you’ll need to be quick. They’re available as a special order for just 24 hours during April 1st, 2019.
