We're back on the runway for some straightline fun. This time we've got a couple of heavyweights, the Triumph Rocket III R and the Ducati Diavel 1260 S. We want to find out which one will get you to your cruising destination quickest, as long as it's straight down a runway! 😂

The Rocket from the factory will only give you approximately 60% throttle when you are wide open throttle! The ecu also restricts throttle positions throughout the rev range. Fortunately, we are now able to access the ecu and remove the throttle restrictions which moves our engine hp from 165 to around 200. The thing is so powerful, it spins the tire on hard accelerations and gear changes. It becomes scary quick, thus the phrase "awakening the sleeping giant"!

It's interesting to see the shootout between manufacturers, but in the real world the likelihood in getting two identical people in weight and talent to face off in a real world environment is going to be very rare. So the determining factor between bikes in the real world is mostly down to rider talent (between similar classes of bikes, that is).

@@thefuture8173 It is a reasonable supposition, based on the fact that the previous models of the Rocket was restricted in first and second gear. Logically this has continued. However without returning the Rocket to full tune we don't know exactly how well it would perform. Ergo I "think" that the extra weight of the Triumph would be more than negated by removing the restriction.

That was great, looked like a load of fun, both bikes. Be interesting to see if short shifting the R3 like you do a hot Harley when drag racing made much difference. Every time you hit the limiter you lose off your ET, and I could hear a fair bit of that going on. Short Shift may be the key!

I think you're right. Technically the rocket is the quickest thing you can currently buy for 0-62 speed (2.7 seconds) so if it wasn't constantly bouncing off the limiter it might have a slightly easier time of things. There is an optional assisted quick shifter for it I believe.

It wouldn't be a bad bike to commute on or a chill ride through some sweepers...I was surprised.

@@johnnyblaze1372 oh I personally love a bike that you can dip real deep into turns. I just think if that's what you want why not just buy a powerful naked bike instead. To me the diavel feels less like a cruiser and more like a compromised sport bike so I personally don't see the point. The triumph knows it's not a sport bike and just gives you pure muscle grunt. It's like the turbo diesel pick up truck of motorcycles. Not exactly meant to whip around turns and really isn't actually that fast, but still satisfying getting all the torque. I can't afford either though so it doesn't really matter lol. If I had that sort of money I'd probably be on a super duke anyways. 😆

FYI, the Triumph has a torque limiter in 1st - 3rd gear and a horsepower limiter in 5th and 6th built into the ECU out of the factory. This needs to be bypassed with a Power Commander and ECU flash to get the Rocket 3 to actually ride to spec. I'd be interested in seeing this re-done after an ECU flash.

Interesting matchup. I had an original Diavel, a 2014 Rocket III, 1260 Diavel with a quickshifter, 2022 Rocket 3 R, and a lot more bikes with 12 still in the garage. In pure acceleration stock, I agree with the results here but only the roll on race really helps tell the story. A quick shifter on the R3 would help it a fair amount. What I love about the Rocket is the incredible grunt it has regardless of RPM. To actually have the Diavel pull on the R3, the revs have to be pretty high. The R3 is so much smoother than the Diavel. The motor always feels like it is loafing along. I rode an R3 with just a tune, and it was amazing how much quicker it was. Supposedly an easy 25HP gain at the wheel and it felt like it. It revved out higher and it apparently you actually got full throttle in all gears. For less than a grand, you can transform the R3 and it was easily quicker than my XDiavel. The are both fun bikes but I'll keep the Rocket over the Diavel. I like it better for 95% of the riding I do. Running costs are far lower. None of the horrendous Ducati maintenance costs. It doesn't car what gear you are in. Add a passenger, it doesn't really seem to care. It impacts the performance far less, which is also true if you are a bigger rider as well. The R3 that came out in 2020 is so much better than the previous one that I'd never consider the earlier models but appreciate what they started. I did keep a 1260 Multi for whenever I have an itch to ride a fast v-twin.

I recently turned 59 and the riding posture of these aggressive race bikes has become very uncomfortable for my neck. The H2 being the hardest on these aging bones.

I own a 2019 Diavel 1260S & a 2011 Multistrada. The Diavel is a great bike and fun to ride. It handles well and is reasonably comfortable on a 3 hour ride. It needs the Ducati windscreen on it though. It really cuts down on the wind blast over 90 mph. Now the Multistrada to me is probably the best motorcycle I've ever ridden. All day comfort and crazy good in the twistys. Plus stupid fast on a roll on. I have a short V-Stream windscreen on it and it's all usable power. The Diavel not so much. For a drag race absolutely. High speed point A to B for a few hours, not so much.

While I am a genuine fan of the Triumph Speed I will always be a loyal big 4 Rice Burners rider. They just make the most reliable and reasonably priced Sport bikes and sports touring motorcycles. Either of the two bikes that I mentioned will smoke those paper weights your racing. But what I drive will too, Kawasakis Z H-2 !

What sucks about the Rocket is that Triumph neutered the top end from the factory. If you look at the throttle mapping on the bike, at wide open (after a 3rd gear I believe) the throttle only opens to 65% and you can feel the sudden loss of power that comes with it. Luckily there’s a tune available for free online that really wakes the bike up but voids the factory warranty. Bumps up the power up by about 23-24 horsepower up top and removes the torque and horsepower restrictions for the lower gears as well. I still think though however the Diavel would still barley carve out a win even with un restricted Rocket. I gotta try a drag race with mine after I restrict it.

Should have known that the quicker reving Diavel would win the drag race no matter the weight or cc difference roll ons would be different.....someone did mention later about the retune of the rocket and that the true beast was awaken without restrictions. both are awesome bikes...good stuff guys

Great review, I like the approach you used. Have you ever run any of these against the VMAX 1700? Interesting results there, surely.

Looked to me like there was too much time spent at the rev limiter on the Rocket. Shift earlier and it would be a closer race.

As the owner of a 2020 X Diavel S, with the Termi and upmap, as well as a few other bikes, I can tell you that the Duc is a fire breathing dragon. It’s light, snappy, fast as all out and gets looks and compliments everywhere I ride her.

Looking at the dyno chart, shifting the Rocket III at around 5000rpm would probably have helped a bit. None the less, both very quick bikes :)

The Duca is a Sprinter and Rocket a line backer with good speed. But Ducati snuck in a super bike performance in there. Best of both worlds.I had a Diavel for many years, and in that time frame I always got in trouble with it. Now considering the Rocket a Gents performance beast.

Pretty sure the last Rocket 3 I rode the redline was only 5,000rpm. What is the redline on this Triumph?

The Diavel is lighter, doesn't have a shaft drive and has an engine that loves to rev to high rpm's, so not that surprising it mostly won!

So is the Rocket still limited electronically? It sounds like it on the basis of the roll on performance. Removing the limiting would be interesting.

The Rocket is limited in both throttle and top speed electronically. Even in Sport Mode the Rocket only opens throttle to 70% with a full twist.

I never really thought of the Rocket III as anything but kind of a comedy bike... like "OMG look at this thing! It's hilarious!" and I love it for that. I wouldn't care if it was slow and cumbersome.. it's still a laugh.
