I don't understand why RE is taking so much time to launch alloys for 650 , there has always been a constant debate between alloys and spoke users , i say lunch them , jinko lagana hoga vo lagaenge , rest it up to an individuals choice .
Same is with Himalayan; they should give 19" front and 17" rear alloys and introduce a pure tourer version. They might have to re-design the front end a bit; but there are many buyers out there who want tourer bikes with basic or mild adventure capability.
@@venurao8721 the fact that alloy wheels are about 40-70% weaker than spoke wheels won't get enough exposure. Also tubeless tires will get punctured significantly more often than you'd guess. Not only that in an off-road terrain the spoke wheels are better at absorbing some amount of jerks and feels more planted hence most adventure tourers come with spokes Outta the factory!
Man, this is the most subtle macho look I've seen on Interceptor yet. And that quilted seat looks fab quality I don't know if they are stock but if not, doesn't look after market.
Oo Bhai finally u did it we r waiting for it alloys are super stylish man any ways Good work bro with the alloys the bike looks stunning.superb man.cheers...
The bike looks nice with the alloys. Looking forward to see how the alloys would perform on a bike with 200 kg of weight. Hope the alloys have been tested well before launching.
When the wheels were not on the bike in the beginning of this video I thought they were pretty ugly. Reminded me of early locomotive wheels. But once on the bike I think they look fantastic! Too bad this bike is not made/offered this way. Great job.
RE should make a version of Interceptor like this. Blacked out alloys, handlebar and bar end mirrors, LED lights all round, single sided brushed metal finish exhaust, digital dials like the one on the Thunderbird or the new Meteor. Bump up the price a bit and I'll buy it right away.
hi can u pls share the technicals (while fixing the rear wheels) and would 120/70/18 front and 150/70/18 rear tyres fit in this alloys? kindly respond!
I've searched the whole internet for black alloys...erado is the best, couple of bikers painted it black but it comes off sooner or later but this look pleasing and promising
Yakuza looks epic. It looks more bulk while taking a look from the tires. The powder coating is looking so good that, am also thinking of coating some chrome parts of my motorcycle. I own a classic 500 & almost 5 years old. Rusting is a bit issue on motorcycles made more of metal. Waiting to see more videos. Stay safe Ride safe Break the chain for spreading COVID-19
Fixes the one issue I have with the Interceptor, spoked wheels. Oh, yes, they look lovely, but having a puncture? Nightmare to fix! Do they sell to the US?
One of the criticisms of the machine is the weight. Are the alloys lighter or heavier than the spoked wheels and by how much? IMHO the bike looks better with spokes but the advantage of tubeless is indisputable. V-strom has it both ways that would be the way to go
Spokes is the only thing thats stopping me from buying..this looks good and lets see if they hold on long rides. Last ride i went on my bullet to goa from hyd i broke 4 spokes and reached without even noticing ..
Go for engine coating as well, I am sure it would make the bike look even more beefier...Also it will go well with black spoke rims (in case you decide to go back to spokes)
So I’m not sure if this has been asked before or addressed before. I wanted to know if the 650 wheels and classic wheels were able to fit on the Himalayan? I haven’t been able to measure the hub width, and I know it’ll throw off my speedometer reading, but just wanted to know if anyone has tried. I know, the Himalayan can be rebuilt to a different rim, but I’ve been eying switching my Himalayan to a more road setup with a somewhat street tire and possibly tubeless. Since RE is still coming up in the states, I figured I’d go to people who have been working on them for years and have more knowledge than me.
The alloys look CLEAN!!! Nice pick. What happened to your drag type bars.? Just picked up a chrome int 650 here in Texas & I’m looking for a pair but hard to find. Maybe you mentioned it in a previous video and I missed it but looking for the manufacturer name etc. thanks,
Raj, great content man. Do you still ride with these and also how do they compare to the RE alloy wheels? I love the look of these and I worried about getting a flat with the spokes and I am really considering changing to alloy wheels. Thanks!!
These look Great! I have the Baker Express interceptor and now I'm wondering if I should try a set haha. Love the look now of the Silver bike. I do think the silver factory wheels are too much silver. Very nice and unique!
As you have already mentioned in the video, i was thinking of the same blacked out theme for yakuza, with the black drag handle bar blacked out engine. Tha would have looked awesome. But i respect your choice as anyway its just an experiment and its something out of the box as well. Good luck for your future rides and stay safe.
Are there any other design options for alloy wheels for Interceptor as I personally don’t like the design. Would personally like 7-8 spoke alloys. Can you advise please
I have seeen this alloy in most of the interceptors...but due to its silver colour it looked so awkward and dull...but the black coating is AWESOME and goes fine with the silver interceptor
I got flat tyre while I was getting back from work at 10pm. It was a big headache to push the bike for 3kms. And you know it’s quite heavy, I want alloy for my interceptor and I think I am gonna contact them but problem is that am in Delhi. I hope they have shops or service here.
@@RajeevAcharyaRidewithRaj Thanks for d reply bro. i m using a classic 350 since 2011 hope to upgrade to interceptor next year. i used to get my bike serviced from shamshu bhai
One question would be, how it performs on high speed cruising. As it was previously used on bullets. But bike definitely look classier, a different brat like look
What was the cost for the alloys ? How much for powder coating ? Dod they made any change from the stock setting, can we inter change with spoke without any adjustment
So..any maintenance required for this Powder coating Raj? Like there is a common thing I came across like these Rims need complete maintenance after Riding in Wet roads and should prevent it from Salty things!
Deserving alloy wheels, the bike looks more muscular now!!! Good job... I would like to know of they have alloy wheels for Himalayan, same design but as you know Himalayan has big front wheel
This is the 1st time I actually liked alloy wheels
Same
Seriolsy dude. I used hate this..... But now it's like wow
Me too
Alloy wheels are much better than spoke wheels
How are the alloys performing? I have heard somewhere that they can break with a bump. So not suitable for off track?
I don't understand why RE is taking so much time to launch alloys for 650 , there has always been a constant debate between alloys and spoke users , i say lunch them , jinko lagana hoga vo lagaenge , rest it up to an individuals choice .
Exactly
Chutia ha re kamsa kam alloys and led as an option to do
Same is with Himalayan; they should give 19" front and 17" rear alloys and introduce a pure tourer version. They might have to re-design the front end a bit; but there are many buyers out there who want tourer bikes with basic or mild adventure capability.
atlest as an optional

Only this black allow has suited the interceptor till now
True
Just got free from work and got the notification for your video.... Couldn't get any better than this.
One of the best looking Interceptor. These are decent mods along wid your new alloys lots of love to your YAKUZA!!!!
Cinematics were spot on 😍🔥 India needs more bike enthusiast like you sir 👍
My much waited video ... couldn't have asked for a precision video than this ... yazuka evolution rocks n u 2bhai keep up the good work...👍
It completely changed the look. Great work !! Loved it !!
Bike looks real fucking dope on black alloys
Man, this is the most subtle macho look I've seen on Interceptor yet. And that quilted seat looks fab quality I don't know if they are stock but if not, doesn't look after market.
One of the most beautiful INTs I have seen till now .
One of the most beautiful and stylish neo retro roadster on the world market at the moment, especially with this wheels mod !
Raj Sir Godhi thi Gaadi laga diya
Interceptor thi aapne Alloy laga kar Bhaukal bana diya.... 🔥🔥🔥👍👍🤩🤩..
Dual round headlights for a neo-retro look. Will look one of a kind!
Awesome ....
i was desperately waiting for this video
Awesome af man... Loved these black alloys.... Silver wale meko b thik thik hi lge the.. But these look dope😍😍
Oo Bhai finally u did it we r waiting for it alloys are super stylish man any ways Good work bro with the alloys the bike looks stunning.superb man.cheers...

I'm only 10000rs month
It's my dream bike
Good bless u my bro❤️
Monthly 60000, but still can't.
Congratulations raj bhai.now yakuza looks kick-ass.LOVE FROM SHIMLA
Raj bhai is tyre same which you are using with bike earlier?
I am really confused which action camera i should buy.
When the wheels were not on the bike in the beginning of this video I thought they were pretty ugly. Reminded me of early locomotive wheels. But once on the bike I think they look fantastic! Too bad this bike is not made/offered this way. Great job.
You've killed the classic charm of spokes
Is it your motorcycle? no eh? then stfu.
LoL 😅
Right
Harley Davidson, Triumph & Indian. Are mad na 😂 to give alloys
Convenience of alloys over the charm of spokes any day.
We all know how difficult it is to fix a rear wheel puncture spoke wheels with tubed tyres.
RE should make a version of Interceptor like this. Blacked out alloys, handlebar and bar end mirrors, LED lights all round, single sided brushed metal finish exhaust, digital dials like the one on the Thunderbird or the new Meteor. Bump up the price a bit and I'll buy it right away.
Black alloys looks awesome..It adds more substance ti the look of the bike..It looks much much premium..
Buying link please ?
looks awesome bro... you have a taste for modification and it shows on your words... Expecting a lots of exciting works ahead.. Keep it up.
That actually looks pretty sweet ❤️🏴
Bro superbbb😍 Now it looks like a Triumph's caferacer
hi can u pls share the technicals (while fixing the rear wheels) and would 120/70/18 front and 150/70/18 rear tyres fit in this alloys? kindly respond!

Best alloys on any interceptor till now 🙌
Fixes the one issue I have with the Interceptor, spoked wheels. Oh, yes, they look lovely, but having a puncture? Nightmare to fix! Do they sell to the US?
🥰😘😍🤩 planning to buy interceptor in future my all time favorite bike
I have just bought interceptor 650 silver specter... Please help me which seats have you installed its really cool
What to say..Bike looks🔥🔥🔥
Alloys enhance look... u r the best... 👍👍
hi would 120/70/18 front and 150/70/18 rear tyres would fit in this alloys without any modifications? kindly respond
alloys.. finallyy!!!. looks dope ! who says alloys don't go well with classic, you just need to know the right amount of black that goes in.
One of the criticisms of the machine is the weight. Are the alloys lighter or heavier than the spoked wheels and by how much? IMHO the bike looks better with spokes but the advantage of tubeless is indisputable. V-strom has it both ways that would be the way to go

Daam bro!!! The bike looks dope, with mat black alloy.👍
Superb transformation of bike.. it's looking more macho & bulky...
Good you opted for Full Black alloys...Beautiful cinematic shots 👌🏼
Good stuff bro, after putting alloys Tyres also looking big thick
my favorite version of this bike.. just need the touring seat - it looks super comfortable!
Hi bro your idea was very good my bike interceptor650 also same colour very useful thank you🤩🤩🤩
Powder coating idea, Superb 👍🏼. Man the bike if looking fab now. No need to buy street twin 😉...
The alloys look CLEAN!!! Nice pick.
What happened to your drag type bars.? Just picked up a chrome int 650 here in Texas & I’m looking for a pair but hard to find. Maybe you mentioned it in a previous video and I missed it but looking for the manufacturer name etc. thanks,
Bhai u killed it honestly 🥰🥰 dope look
Raj, great content man. Do you still ride with these and also how do they compare to the RE alloy wheels? I love the look of these and I worried about getting a flat with the spokes and I am really considering changing to alloy wheels. Thanks!!
Amazing video bruh! What is the size of this front tyre? 150/70/18?? my goodnessss it looks gorgeous!!!!
Jabarjast Bike Dikh Rahi h big Thumbs Up 👍👍
Look like a scrambler bike...Ek no🤩👌🏻
Headlights should need a slight..mod.. Put a DRL or something
Does wobbling of the bike at higher speed has reduced when changed to alloys
These look Great! I have the Baker Express interceptor and now I'm wondering if I should try a set haha. Love the look now of the Silver bike. I do think the silver factory wheels are too much silver. Very nice and unique!
nice-looking wheels. what happened to the drag bars ???
Well raajjj it seems like the experiment was a great success
As you have already mentioned in the video, i was thinking of the same blacked out theme for yakuza, with the black drag handle bar blacked out engine. Tha would have looked awesome. But i respect your choice as anyway its just an experiment and its something out of the box as well.
Good luck for your future rides and stay safe.
Why there is only left section show in the perticular video of concerning motorcycle......
Where is front disc?!
How are the alloys can you make an update video on this? Thank you
What's the feedback on the alloys ...seems they would have run some kms
You have a good job, congratulations!
What if we need to put 140 or 150 size rear tyre, can we put on these alloys or only stock rims spokes?
Are there any other design options for alloy wheels for Interceptor as I personally don’t like the design. Would personally like 7-8 spoke alloys. Can you advise please
Is that the stock handlebars with the cross bar removed? Looks really nice. Like the new wheels. Cheers from NZ
That's one bad-ass update on interceptor Bro .
It's looking so good. Can you please share what are the tyre sizes? They seem to raise the height a little and it favours the look more.
With the rear mudguard removed, does it spray water on your back?
The bike looks perfect finally some black alloys ❤️
First time seeing alloys that don't make the bike that ugly. But still can't beat the beauty of spokes.
Your handle bar is cool where did you get it from?
I have seeen this alloy in most of the interceptors...but due to its silver colour it looked so awkward and dull...but the black coating is AWESOME and goes fine with the silver interceptor
I got flat tyre while I was getting back from work at 10pm. It was a big headache to push the bike for 3kms. And you know it’s quite heavy, I want alloy for my interceptor and I think I am gonna contact them but problem is that am in Delhi. I hope they have shops or service here.
Brother how is the performance of alloys ..plz share your review ?
1st time seeing this alloys n honestly saying love at first sight 🥰
the alloys look lovely especially d powder coating, was it shamshu bhai who did the coating?
Shamshu bhai did fitting only
@@RajeevAcharyaRidewithRaj Thanks for d reply bro. i m using a classic 350 since 2011 hope to upgrade to interceptor next year. i used to get my bike serviced from shamshu bhai
The rear wheel have any spacers or washers for ABS BRAKE Settings ?
Looks great. Can wait to see how they perform over time.
Really the bike got nice overhaul with these alloy...looking forward how they perform...👍
They look great! Which weigh less, the original one with spokes or the alloy ones?
Somewhat same
Hey bro why have you removed the cafe racer fairing? Were there any issues?
Hey hi Raj,
Have you compared the weights ?
How heavy is the Alloys when compared to Spokes ?
Are the spoked wheels heavy or the alloys ???
Now check wobbling in top speed .. decrease or increase
The bike is looking superb...blacked out silencer would really enhance the look....
Hey, what about abs all the braking compatibility with these alloys?
9:55 waiting for that to happen , again 😁.
Re can make tubeless even in spokes like suzuki vstorm 650
One question would be, how it performs on high speed cruising. As it was previously used on bullets. But bike definitely look classier, a different brat like look
Bike looks beefy and badass gud decision sir loved it...
What was the cost for the alloys ?
How much for powder coating ?
Dod they made any change from the stock setting, can we inter change with spoke without any adjustment
Great video bike looks fantastic stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
So..any maintenance required for this Powder coating Raj? Like there is a common thing I came across like these Rims need complete maintenance after Riding in Wet roads and should prevent it from Salty things!
Deserving alloy wheels, the bike looks more muscular now!!! Good job...
I would like to know of they have alloy wheels for Himalayan, same design but as you know Himalayan has big front wheel
looks good :) what handlebar are you using ?
Are those stock 18 inchers or have you used 17 inchers while upgrading to alloys...??🤔🤔
How much is the weight saving switching from spoked to alloys??
Any change in steering geometry?
Bro is interceptor comfortable for a 6ft guy?plse lee know...
