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.

We built a pressure gauge we wanted to use ourselves
After years of using tyre pressure gauges that were inaccurate, poorly made or awkward to fit without losing pressure, we decided enough was enough.
We worked with a manufacturer to produce a motorcycle tyre pressure gauge that met our own workshop standards. The result is a gauge that’s accurate. It’s even been featured in RiDE magazine.
We’re so confident in its quality that every gauge comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense money-back guarantee.
Whether you prefer the instant accuracy of a digital tyre pressure gauge or the simplicity of a traditional analogue gauge, we’ve got the perfect tool for the job.
Correct tyre pressures are the cheapest performance upgrade you can make. They improve grip, handling, tyre life and fuel economy—and they take less than a minute to check.
