Royal Enfield Interceptor 650Â History
A retro-middleweight with classic British-big-bike looks, an A2 licence-friendly engine and a launch price of under £6,000 – what’s not to like? It’s no wonder the Royal Enfield is a popular seller and it’s hugely popular with the under 30s, so by some master stroke, Royal Enfield have managed to sell a bike that represents biking of yesteryear to the future of biking.
It’s a great base bike for customisation or a cool bit of kit for the daily commute.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650Â Stock Tyres
The Interceptor 650 came fitted with Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres as standard. These are top quality tyres and while many manufacturers skimp on the OEM tyres, these are beauties.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650Â Best Tyres
The stock Pirellis are decent but not exceptional – they’re a different tyre to the Sportscomp you’d buy from a tyre dealer. Not everyone loves them.
Road tyre picks:
Rugged / Custom Look:
Bridgestone AX41 – 100/90-18 and 130/80-18 rear
Heidenau K60 Scout 100/90-18 front and K60 (not Scout) 130/80-18 rear.
Racing / Trackdays:
If – and it’s a big if – you’re taking this bike on track, you can fit the Conti RoadAttack3 CR 100/90-18 and 130/80-18 for maximum grip.

Are your tyre pressures letting you down?
We couldn’t find a tyre pressure gauge that was well-built, easy to get on-and-off the valve without pressure loss and could stand up to day-to-day abuse in our workshop. So we found a manufacturer to build one to our exacting standards.
We’re confident this is the best motorcycle pressure gauge out there. That’s why it comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense, money back guarantee.
Whether you want a digital tyre pressure gauge or a good old-fashioned analogue pressure gauge, we’ve got a gauge for you. Now you can quickly and easily check your pressures, to keep your bike handling well and to ensure you stay safe.
