Ducati Diavel V4 vs Triumph Rocket 3 R comparison 

I just purchased the Diavel. It's an amazing ride! And sex appeal galore! This is one sweet ride!

Both masterpieces. But I just got my Diavel V4 on Sunday (my third Diavel), and it's top notch. Hope I can add a Rocket 3 to the lineup someday!

Just bought a 2023 Rocket 3R last Friday. Hummed and hawed about both… both fascinated me.. but the Rocket spoke to me. The look, the finish, the ride. All subjective of course but, To me the Rocket is an absolute masterpiece. The Diavel is wicked… but not for me. What a great time to be alive when we have these two bikes to choose between!

I have a 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 GT with a quickshifter and man its a beast a real muscle bike (the Diavel is more of a cross sportnaked and cruiser motorcycle) and the shaft drive no maintenance was a big factor of why i bought the Rocket.

The Rocket 3 is my dream bike. The wheelbase alone is crazy. Both are amazingly powerful, but not very nimble. I will stick with my MT07 for now.

GREAT VIDEO !!!! I'll watch your other VIDEO"S thanks

Good job keep up the good work ❤

Triumph Rocket 3R- Quick Shifter not available????? I’ll have to tell my triumph dealer to take my quick shifter off my Rocket- a quick shifter isn’t available

A difficult choice! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Rocket has available quick shifter.

I'm not sure how many people would cross-shop these. I've owned both the earlier gen Rocket and just bought a Rocket 3. I had several Diavels since there inception and just sold my xDiavel S. Once rolling and up in the RPM band the Diavel is quicker. OTOH a serious amount of pull is just a twist of the throttle away regardless of what gear you are in, or what speed you are going once above about 20 mph. I can ride for hours and be comfortable on the Rocket. Not so much on the Diavel. If you want to rip up the back roads like a sport bike, the Diavel is your ride. If you want to go out, ride for hours, enjoy the sights, grab a big handful of throttle from time to time, the Rocket 3 is your ride. Looks are subjective but I think they blew it with the new Diavel. There is no cohesive look to it. I think the xDiavel looks much better. The Rocket looks amazing in person. The advice I'd give anyone buying a Rocket is to get TuneECU, download a good tune, add a slip-on exhaust, and go with a 240/50 R16 (slightly taller) rear tire . For about a $1,000 investment, you'll increase rear wheel HP by about 20% (so about 180 at the wheel), increase top speed, save 20 pounds, and sharpen up the handling quite a bit. I paid a small fortune for the exhaust on my Ducati V4S streetfighter and didn't get near the gains I did just from the Penner map. Triumph limits the stock throttle opening to a max of 60% no matter what mode you are in. Just the tune alone can add 25hp or more to the Rocket. The slip-on is more about weight savings than power but you'll get a few HP. Oh yeah, don't forget the unavailable quick shifter. Even if you do nothing else, buy it.

changing frequently tires? easy 13t kms, sporty ride, TC always off. have 33t km on mine, no catal, werkes sound, tuned. just enjoyment🤩👌

Rocket just TOO HEAVY to compete with Diavel, unless heavy is what you want (some guys do).

Those footages are from spain isn't it?

This tells us nothing beyond the obvious or what can be read in the spec sheet

I heard "Quick shifter not available" for the R3. Nonsense! My 2021 has a beautiful quick shifter which is smooth as silk! Get your facts straight please!

Where you getting the quick shifter ( not available ) information from for the rocket ?? 😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ if anyone wants to see an actual real world review of these two with all of the relevant correct information watch the lamb chops rides review.... far better & more comprehensive than this ..
