    • All Storm models (R, GT, and Evel Knievel editions) share the upgraded 182 PS / 225 Nm engine, a step up from the MY24 models’ 164 HP / 221 Nm. This makes the Storm range the pinnacle of Rocket 3 performance.
  2. Ergonomics & Purpose:
    • Storm R & R Evel Knievel LE: Focus on roadster agility with mid-mount controls, ideal for spirited riding.
    • Storm GT & GT Evel Knievel LE: Prioritize comfort with forward controls, heated grips, and a backrest, catering to long-distance riders.
    • MY24 R & GT: Similar ergonomics to their Storm counterparts but lack the enhanced styling and features.
  3. Styling & Exclusivity:
    • Storm R & GT: Feature blacked-out finishes and 10-spoke wheels, offering a modern, aggressive look.
    • Evel Knievel Editions: Stand out with chrome tanks, Knievel graphics, and limited production (250 units each), appealing to collectors.
    • MY24 Models: More subdued styling, lacking the Storm’s blacked-out attitude.
  4. Price:
    • The MY24 models are the most affordable, followed by the Storm R and GT. The Evel Knievel editions command a premium due to their exclusivity and unique design.
  5. Features:
    • All models share core tech (ABS, traction control, TFT display), but the GT variants add touring amenities. The Evel Knievel editions enhance aesthetics without altering core functionality.
