Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Alloy Wheel TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extreme Tyres Review: Track Test

24 March 2021

Vikrant Singh

We switched the aluminium spoke wheels on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 with a set of alloys. We went down a size on the rims to 17 inches. And got ourselves a set of lighter, sportier, gripper, and good looking tyres in the form of the TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extremes.
