0-62 time?

[Mighty Mouse]

Anyone know why Triumph per their website uses a 0-62 mph time? I thought it has always been 0-60. The time for the new Rocket is 2.89 seconds from 0-62. Am I missing something or is it just a misprint. Never heard of this.

62mph = 100kph

Got it. Live and learn. It seems strange to have that number on the Triumph USA site.

Maybe they only did a 0-62 test and not a 0-100 as well???

Nigel Tufnell is their new marketing director.

62mph = 100kph

Yep 1.6093 km per mile so 62.1388 mph.

62mph = 100kph

2.89 is screaming fast for a bike it's size and the best part is.,.

You can do it consistently, over and over until the tire or clutch are toast.

Launch control....smexy. Probably my favorite feature of all this new fangled technology.

Cutting a 3.0 on my bike is quite challenging since launch control isn't there to help, and the bike wants to wheelie or spin.

Triumph initially claimed a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds when the Rocket first came out.

Sadly, no launch control.......

Traction control, O.K......
