Mr. Perfect!

1,2. Royal Enfield has done good job in shaping the bike and servicing. it will provide an uncommon riding experience. this is my first ever Motorcycle. I use it for daily commute, tours, traveling and weekend rides. I'm 163cm 65kg and little freak about speed. I ride the bike flawlessly it will always amaze me. All you need is better Practice and good Skills. 3. Cool retro looks. Smooth engine and very good pickup. it will not hardly push till 170-180kmph, but it can keep you stay in 140-160kmph without any stress. Best sounding with Parellal twin. I have installed myself an aftermarket exhaust, sounds amazing. 4. Like any other motorcycle, this also need maintenance. rather than your money it needs your care. checking chain, brakes, clutch and reaching service center whenever you find a glitch. these days you can learn all the servicing tips from the internet if you are interested. that's all it needs. 5. It's heavy but maneuverable. hard to take back from parking, but thrills to pull the throttle (Bruiimmm...). It heats a lot in traffic. overall this bike is not best for something, but whatever your job - it does cleverly.

Good powerful bike with great macho look. Replica of triumph street twin, but smooth and nimble. Gear changes is frequent as you can travel 40km/h in 3rd gear Cons- mileage 20km in city, heavy 210 kg with fuel. Stock ceat tyre's are tube type ( not tubeless like earlier firelli) so alloy wheel upgrade is more expensive. Seat is very narrow. You need 25000 rupees more to make it a better' bike.

The riding experience is one of the best. I had decided to buy a KTM 390 and took the test ride and loved KTM. But since I am not a bullet person (for its weight), I had not considered interceptor. Since the re showroom was on the same road as KTM (Indiranagar, Bangalore), thought will give interceptor also a try. Once I sat on the bike and the sound of the engine from the exhausts was alluring enough. I immediately bought it which was delivered in 2 days. And since then, have loved the beast. It throws its weight around and thrills every bone in the body with its utter power. No wonder the bikes are being sold like hot cakes and people are forming interceptor communities on social media. For highway riding also up to a speed of 130kmph, its a delight to ride. And in city riding, which I bought it for, its hot. Literally hot. After we clock 1000kms, the engine feels lot cooler and manageable since its a 650cc bike. To ride this bike, one must be an expert at riding 2 wheelers. This cant be your first bike. But one of the last ones in your collection of bikes over lifetime

Positives: The bike has a good retro look. The headlamps have sufficient throw when dark. The engine is eager to move and is versatile - you can ride it both in a relaxed manner as well as in a sporty manner. The ride height is comfortable and getting on and off the bike is easy. The service interval is 1 year and charges are reasonable. Fit and finish is good. Minor negatives: the instrument cluster is very basic - it should have had a clock and gear position indicator. The bike is heavy to move around in a parking spot. The foot pegs come in way while maneuverings the bike at low speeds or in slow moving traffic. The bike is wide with exhaust on both sides and care needs to be taken in traffic. Seat is good for short rides - not so good for long rides. Overall, it is a very balanced and well made bike. One will enjoy the ownership experience. Royal Enfield can make this bike better by bringing small upgrades such as a clock, gear shift indicator and better seats

I bought this bike 2 months back. Since then I am fixing one thing or the other. It has stayed dead or in service center for half of the time. I should have bought a Honda. If you want a reliable bike royal Enfield is the last brand you should look at. Battery issue (charged it twice then bought a new Exide battery from company then that also died), twitchy throttle response, clicking noise from rear shocker, problem with instrument cluster, turning off on high rpm. But I am happy to say this bike is the only problem in my life.

It is the best in its segment while we talk about its price and its riding position. Its so easy to ride in city for daily use. And if we talk about its looks then it looks something that yeah something is coming. Look bigger than vulcan and harley. It looks 650cc bike. Enfield always have a low maintenance as I am riding it since i am in 12th standard means 2006. I don't think that anyone has any need to change anything in it. Yeah but you can like its handle and add some accessories while on tour. I love it.

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.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Motowings Performance Air Filter Review

Vikrant Singh

Motowings Performance - the same guys who ake the Trident exhaust for the Interceptor which we absolutely love - have a performance air filter for the motorcycle as well. Called the Hyper Flow Air Filter, it costs Rs 3,500. And one can buy it online from a number of sites.
