-The cylinders operate with one piston at the top of a stroke, another in mid-stroke, while the third is at the bottom of a stroke whether in a two stroke or four stroke engine thus creating a engine balance.
-Triple cylinder motorcycles can have dual or a triple exhaust system. The exhaust pipes can merge just after exiting the cylinder head as in [[Triumph |Triumph motorcycles]] or can be three independent pipes as in [[Kawasaki|Kawasaki motorcycles]].
-Motorcycles using a triple cylinder configuration can come in longitudinal and Transverse variants, the longitudinal variants are often used in shaft drive motorcycles.
