Casarva Triumph Rocket 3 Classic Trike
The “Classic” Rocket 111 version of the bike was the donor and as they feature 3 silencers we changed them out for the more IRS friendly Roadster end cans rerouting the exhausts to exit either side under the bottom wishbones with mirror polished stainless steel heat shields.
This time we fitted custom made raked triple trees made by Roy at Billet Bike Bits in Norfolk and they look the part.
As with all our Rockets we fitted the Casarva Elite Reverse gearbox to make moving around a breeze for such a big trike.
Wheels are 17″ 5 Spoke Alloys with polished rims and 275 tyres covered by Casarva Rocket wings which feature the Triumph OEM rear stop tail light.
The Casarva rack made for the trike is in 1″ steel tube with a 600 x 300 bed and powder coated with a demountable Givi top case and leather panniers raised above the top wishbone.
What is Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) on a trike?
Casarva IRS (independent Rear Suspension) trikes handle better and and are more comfortable to ride than those with a solid axles. The tyres stay planted in the road surface giving you maximum control if the road gets a little tricky because each side has its own suspension system which are connected by an anti-roll bar made in spring steel. This assists the shock absorbers in keeping the rear end planted, reduces rider shock and assists with steering.
The drive line irrespective of being chain, belt or shaft, has a differential which allows the wheels to turn independently of each other via half shafts which have been tailor made to each trike and there are options on the track width and wheelbase length to make sure that the trike is set up to be the best it can be. Tyres and wheel size are selected to works best with each trike – one size definitively does not fit all not fit all.
