Thank you, sir!
Good,helpful,genuine content ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🙂
Honest review....Despite the fact that I have been riding (city rides - commutes and short rides up to 400 kms) for more than 20 years I have never done "cornering" - Never understood what it meant till I saw your video...Thanks for sharing the review/feedback...Will keep in my mind when my boy wants a new pair of shoes to run :)
Ha ha ha ... you might be surprised to know, that it was during my Spiti Calling Tour, I also did proper cornering for the first time ... that too on the twisties of Manali.
Thanks for writing.
Cheers!
Awesome video sir
Cheers
Very informative video sir, thank you ❤️
Thank you Yusuf. Happy to know that you found it useful.
Yes, I subscribe Chanel , see all your video, I will plan to buy bike, so watching your video & inspired, like you as age of 43 year plan to ride india throughout with bike.
Thats really great Ronak.
I too plan to ride across the length n width of our country.
Which bike are you considering?
All the best 👍
Well done and informative.
Thank you Satya.
Thanks for sharing this very informative article about tyres.
Happy to know you found the content to be relevant. Thank you
Hi, nicely put video, I have been using ralco set on my inty since 4000kms now, and they have been performing like a gem, I have used it for cornering, have been to trails, and this tyre has not broken sweat, it just performs really well, on smooth roads for cornering it needs to heat up to perform well, it takes time to heat up but once it does it just grips so well, 2nd thing there is a feedback at slow speeds coz of the block pattern and since ifs flipped in front, but as speed increases it goes away, and at City crawling speeds you can feel the transition of tyre trying to go straight and when you turn the handle bar, but that happens only at very very slow crawling city speeds coz of the wear, I know my next set will be ralco as they are fantastic value and they are the best for me coz I love to go off road with them.
Absolutely Vishal. To my surprise as well, Ralco turned out to be a very decent set of tires.
Regarding the feedback, it gets prominent as the tires wear out.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I hope Ralson guys are also reading the comments of faithful n happy customers like us and work on developing newer tires.
What about in rainy season on tarmac road? How it performs & braking experience in same condition?
Thanks for the feedback. Hoping to ride with you in any of the breakfast ride..
Surely, look forward to it.
One of the very best video on tyres
Thank you Prabhu ji
@@WanderingSom humble and honest sir keep growing
definitely, advantage came due to centre of gravity added up with weight and pillion
Hmmm ... thought as much
Age is just a number, you guys proved it.
Age???
We are very young ... just with little bit of an experience. That's it.
Very informative video Som. I am also grappling with mid life boredom and am returning to motorcycling soon.....have booked an Interceptor. Will lean on your advices and inputs as i grow with the hobby and the bike.
Welcome to the Saddle ... happy living 😁
Good message Sir thanks
Thank you.
Very nice sir.... Too informative for me.... For my int650👌👌👍
I will surely go for ralco....

@@WanderingSom is it good for both off road and on road ?

Wow, good review
Thank you Manish. Happy to know you found it useful.
I got these tyres for my streettwin... Really happy with the performance viz a viz the cost.. 😊
Thats amazing 👏 😍
Seat,backrest,top rack, handle bar
Grip is dependent on weight, it is directly proportional to the normal response (N) from the ground. So a pillion would be better for cornering in terms of grip, as long as weight distribution is regular and does not make CoG too high.
Thank you Abhishek. I had a sense of the same, but could never so logically as you did it. Really appreciate for sharing the details. I stand enlightened. Thank you!
Cheers!
Weight and the rubber both matter !
Science behind Cornering is the Center of Gravity and the inertia produced by the tyrre. Weight doesn't matter at all. See motocross bikes doing cornering

Whatever you actual name is, I lover the term Motouber ... really good.
And thank you for the compliment ☺ 😊
really liked your ride to Laddakh ride sir je, & ya even i ll go for a Ralco
Thank you Sourav.
I didnt get the Ladakh part ... this was about riding to Spiti.
Ralco is a good option. Go for it.
@@WanderingSom ya the Spiti ride, dude my clutch plates r gone now mereko 7k ka fatka lag raha hai ave lol
@@SouravAcharya9444 how many kms have clocked?
@@WanderingSom not even 8k & ya I know how to use my clutch but still my clutch plates r gone black very bad quality parts, u can even see in my video where I am changing my defective gear shaft that the clutch plates condition 😭😭
Sir plz review about the accessories
How to or where to get these windshields for interceptor are they customised or ready available in market??
No, they are not customisable. You can reachout to Carbon Racing directly.
Very useful! Thank you.
Btw. How do you maintain your bike so clean? Looks brand new :D
Hey, thank you, glad to know you liked it.
I engage the OLA Washers once a month for deep cleaning of the bike. They come home and do the needful. Effective and economical.
Good video Sir. Subscribed! I am also going to Spiti next month and was confused in buying Ralco. Still I have a question, I currently have Apollo Alpha H1 and was thinking to carry Ralco's speed blaster till Narkanda and then get it changed there. Is it wise? Or am I thinking too much. What do you suggest?
WAY TOO MUCH!
Bhai, simply get the Ralco installed and you won't experience any difference what so ever. And changing the Interceptor tyres is a nightmare in itself. Hence, I wont recommend. Either you continue with what you already have or change it beforehand.
Very informative! What about the handlebar you’ve installed?
Thank you.
The handle bar is from AOM - Art Of Motorcycle.
Nice l narration
Thank you Raja Saheb. Did you find the narration relevant and useful?
Yes,very nice@@WanderingSom
Hi, I watched your video and learnt that I'm not the only mad one at the age of 44, to own and ride an Interceptor. I watch many videos but, you video is crisp, addresses the needs of a buyer aptly. Kudos to the work you do..
My stock Pirelli tyres have run for close to 16K kms and the rear tyre is ready for a replacement now. It'd be great if you could help me with the following answers:
1. Which model and specs of Ralco tyres do you recommend for rear wheel?
2. My front tyre should run fine for another 2000 kms. Would you suggest buying both the front and back tyres together?
And, keep those videos coming our way.. I will be watching them. :-)
Thank you Shreejith for writing. I am happy to note that you liked the video.
Btw I am 44 ... actually 50 ... does that make me crazier ;-)
Coming to your questions, change both the tires at the same time, same brand n same pattern so that they work in tandem. Else the bike will be unbalanced.
Secondly, there is one model from Ralco which is a 100% specs match with stock. Refer to the Ralco Videos for more details.
Just remember, what I say about the front tire ... again ref to my video for details.
Thank you for sharing your appreciation 🙏.
Hope you have subscribed the channel as well.
Happy n safe riding.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom
Thank you Som for a quick reply. I will take your recommendation and go for a change of both tyres at the same time. I guess, it's Ralco time. Let me see if I will get them here in Trivandrum.
Yes, people like us are crazy and we must remain that way. Some people reach the age of 50 without much notice and some, with a bang..
I've subscribed to your channel and notifications are set to on.
Safe riding and keep posting more videos... Will reach out if I reach somewhere close to Delhi.
@@shreejithg9354 No problem.

I got the ceat zoom cruise. they are good too. also no age limits please, enjoy what you do as long as you like it. age is just a number. ride safe
@@bpgrmds Hello there, glad to know that you are using Ceat Zoom Cruise. Please do share your feedback on the tires. Very little information is available.
You are right, age is just another number.
Happy and safe riding ... and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Cheers!
Sir which windseld u have in ur bike
Its the older version of Carbon Racing. Recently got the new version.
Very nicely put video, are you riding tubeless or with tube?
No Navin, I am get to convert to Tubeless.
RALCO was winning and 'P' Rating pissed it for it... it should have had 'S' rating.. that would have shat on the comptetion..
Hello sir. Can we select 150 section tyres for rear from ralco ?
Hello Rakesh,
Question is, does Ralco have 150 section tyre for 18" rim? To my knowledge, no. Whatever it has is for 17".
Incase there is one, please do update me on the same.
Cheers!
Hi..Nice video...I see none of you have considered Ceat Tyre...Any specific reason...
Ha ha ha 😂 🤣 😆 😄 😀
Good observation. Was wondering why didn't anyone mentioned about it.
Ranjit, I do know couple of guys who got Ceat. One of the reasons I know is that they are not into touring.
Ceat doesn't give the option for Tubeless conversion ... it's a Tube tyre.
It's not a dual purpose tire ... when we tours, we need something that can tackle all kind of roads.
Ceat is known for good tires ... even in the Car segment.
Guess, there are more reason riders aren't choosing Ceat.
Where did u get this seat?
My seat was made by Khajachi at Karol Bagh. Got a new seat and will soon be sharing that video. Watch out.
Ralco really a good Tyres
Indeed it is. Thank you for sharing your feedback. Cheers!
Hi, Thanks for the video. Can you please make a video on Brakepads of Interceptor.
Here you go ...

Som bhai, what about the issue of wobbling? People say ki it's related to the Pirelli tires! If it is the case then is your Ralco clad bike n Timsun clad bike wobble free now?
100%.
The day I changed to Ralco, the wobbling was completely gone. The bike used to wobble between 75-85kmph. Which is also a sweet speed to let go of my hands from the handlebar. With Pirelli I could never do it, now I can do it at any speed. ZERO wobbling.
Rachit tells me that his bike is completely wobble-free after he got the Timsun.
The issue was with Pirelli as these days with the Ceat tires, you don't hear this complaint anymore.
Thank you Rohith for reaching our asking this question. I believe a lot of our fellow riders are still dealing with this issue.
Happy and safe riding.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom thank you Som bhai. Such a saviour you are. Ride safe bhai .
@@y2j132 not at all ... just a enthu rider like you.
Puncture ka daar nahi laga sir? Tube tyres in touring is nightmare. Ur views sir?
That's the biggest worry I carry when I ride. But then, I have equipment myself to deal with it. I carry all the spares and know how to fix a puncture as well.
I know Rachit from Sunny's video...
Rachitt is a very popular person.
Hello, do you have any info about what type of engine oil is best for this 650 cc engine apart from royal enfield's liquid gun . Also what grade of oil should I use . I am thinking to do my own oil change but hard to decide which one should I pick.
Hello
I don't have an immediate answer for you. Is there any challenge you are facing with the RE Oil?
In the the meantime, you can always consider the Polytron ... Engine Oil Additive.
I have not used it personally, heard it to be good.
You could go for the following options
1) Motul 7100 10W50 + 120ML of Polytron MTC
2) Liquid Gun + 150ML of Polytron MTC
@@WanderingSom I don't have any challenge yet , because I am 200 km away from my first service Still. But someone told me that liquid gun is not full synthetic oil. So I was wondering may be I can use something better to keep the engine cool . When I got the bike week ago and ran it for 30 minutes , it started heating up too much . I mean I owned cbr 1000 rr and even that bike don't heat up that much . So I was reading on forum and someone told me using full synthetic oil will bring engine heat down . So still researching. But thanks for the polytron info , I will try that and see what diffrence does it make .
@@shantanuchikara7342 Before responding to you, I also checked with few people. The most recommended option is Motul+Poly ... i am told the performance is amaging
@@WanderingSom ok 👍 thanks !
Hi Som, informative video. I noticed Rachit has fitted a different type of seat on his bike. Could you please provide some details regarding seat comfort, price and where to buy it from.
Hi Mathew, thank you for writing.
Rachitt got the seat from Sahara Seats Hyderabad and it costed him about Rs. 5500. Pl be aware the seat soaks in water in rains.
I hope you have subscribed the channel as well.
Happy n safe riding.

@@WanderingSom Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I am subscribed to your channel.
@@mathewk8010 Thank you so very much.
Sir no offense but your riding style is very different, you're calm and safe on the roads, while others like me aren't. We maybe safe but calm.. nope. So ability to endure high speed for the tyres is a very important characteristic, I have taken my interceptor to 175kmph and it could have gone more. We don't do it often but those sometimes that we do.. it matters a lot.
Ur comments have all the positive opinions then why would he be offended or were you being all sarcastic??
Hi sir, can you please share the purchase link of your aux lamp clamp near the headlight. Its really cool.
Hey Adrain,
Yes, it's a solid one made of Aluminium. I got it from Karol Bagh, in Delhi.
I don't think it's available online.
Incase you need any further details, lemme know.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom I'm from South India. I won't be able to travel all the way up to Delhi to purchase it. It would be of great help if I get the contact number of that store so that I can ask them to send one for me. Btw, your videos are really awesome and really useful to me as I own an Interceptor too. ❤️
@@adriansamuel58 share your mail address over a mail ... wandering.som@gmail.com and lemme see what best can be done
@@WanderingSom Sure sir, thank you so much. 😊
Sir can i go for brod tyre in interceptor ?
Like 150 back 120 front ?
Hi Jai,
The front is 100 and stock rear is 130. However you do get 150 for the rear. Just be aware that with 150, there is hardly any space left between the swing arms ... but does add to the stability.
Lastly if you but 120 in the front the handling goes for a toss.
@@WanderingSom ok tnq sir
Interceptor ka tyre replacement interval kya hona chahiye agar bohot nahi chalti ho toh?
Hello Sajid,
Tyres char wajahe se change hote hai:
1] agar treads ghis jaye,
2] agar rubber dry ho kar crack ho jaye,
3] agar tyres kat jaye,
4] agar tyres ke expiry date aa jaye.
Interceptor ke Pirelli aam tor pe 10 - 15 hazar km chalte hai. Mere wale 15000 chale the.
Ceat bhi shayad utna hi chalte hai ... main sure nahi huin. 10,000 toh chal hi jane chahiye agar aap teekh se chalao to.
@@WanderingSom Thanks sir for replying.. 🙏
So here is my review.
I used my stock for almost 15k around.
My tyres were completely worn and wobbled during rainy Mangalore ride .
Gave bike for service due to puncture and they suggested to change tyres. Due to non availability of tyres in the Mangalore 2020 Oct I had to settle for Ralco . Changed only rear .
Now my bike is at 22k . I still have my front Pirelli and rear Ralco . I'm more confident using Ralco in rainy conditions and bad roads . In terms of speed I touch 160 even now . I guess with stock I used to do 165/170. Over period of time I have learnt engine breaking and cornering and I feel it's mostly the rider skill . I think Pirelli is only good for a track and cornering and sexy highways but in Karnataka road are shitty and Ralco is fine for these roads. Puncture was a major problem for me and I had 3 punctures in stock and only one with Ralco.
The negativity was only given by fellow riders in biking group and friends who mocked cheap Ralco against stock Pirelli but I don't care .
Now it's time to change front tyre. I only know to ride fast . I may go for Ceat or Ralco .
Hello Vaishakh,
Thank you for sharing your experience of Ralco. Really happy to read it. Finally a long standing query regarding the top speed of Ralco.
I would have actually recommended you to change both F&R tyres are the same time. It is recommended to have similar pattern tyres.
If you are about high speeds, maybe Ceat is a better option for you as it provides a better track grip.
Happy and safe riding.
Cheers!
Hi sir, this is Deepak from kanpur, i have interceptor 650 BS4 2019 model and I have ridden around 28000km and during this 28000 kms,bike didn't get punctured even once, so I'm very much impressed with the performance of Pirelli phantom but now I want to change tyres, but I can't find Pirelli anywhere in kanpur so I'm confused as to which one to go ?? While I also consulted to RE authorised technician and he suggested me for Ceat.
Hello Deepak,
The credit should be about the fact that you rode on P/Phantom for 28K ... and not just about not having a puncture. I wonder how did you managed it.
You will not find Pirelli through any legitimate channels as the import of tyres are banned for GOI. Ceat as an option I will not go for. Doesn't fulfil my kind of riding.
Once the ban is lifted or manufacturing begins in India, possibly you will have more options to choose from.
Till then, gotto use whatever available.
Cheers!
Bike ko tubeless banane ke liye aapne kya Kiya?
Nothing so far. Wonder if I would ever do it or not.
If I ever do, will certainly post a video.

What is the price of both tyres?
Hello Chandan,
Watch the complete video and you would know. I have mentioned it in the video.
@@WanderingSom sorry I think I have forwarded video. Let me watch it again
@@chandanlaxmeshwar553 no problem ... enjoy 😉
Ralco is 'P' rated tyre. Which can carry speed upto 150 km/hr. But wht company suggest is H rated tyres
Good question. Not that I have an accurate answer myself, the guess I could make is that the bike is designed to go beyond 175kmph at least that's the impression the company wanted people to have. With Ralco block tyres, it could be dicy. Pirelli with its lineage, it can sure do that. Moreover, I also guess, RE would have cracked a good biz deal with Pirelli hence the specific tyre.
Thank you Chethan for putting up your question.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom sir please don't mind, it took 5 mins to understand your reply. Dicey meaning is dangerous and unpredictable..
P.S- Please try to avoid using ralco tyres for high speed interceptors ...
@@chethanas2821My sincere apology for being able to simplify my response.
It is not recommended to do 150+ with Ralco. It's not about the tyre holding up, rather the roads & conditions not being adequately conducive for such speeds.
My top speed with Ralco is 140 and it performed just fine. It was just once, as an experiment.
Furthermore, even with the best of tyres, how long can you hold on a high speed on Indian roads?
Hence, relax and ride safely.
Sir Pirelli aur Timsun ka price apne nahi bataya
Pirelli aur Timsum aaj kal nahi milta hai. Milta hai toh khali black mein ya phir purani tyres hote hai. Is liye cost nahi bataya.
Ralcos are doing ✌✌✌✌
Yo!
Time to change to a new set.
@Ralco are you watching???
Bhaiyya abhi humara toh chalega aur.... Hopefully naya model nikale RALCO.... my respect to India companies... 🙌
@@siddharthsinghvirdi7881 Mera Bharat Mahaan
Ralco is best tyre
They are indeed a very good option to consider.
Have the Ralcos on my interceptor at the moment, front and rear .
My honest review below:
1. They lack grip and are skidding on loose sand and even good roads
2. They make cornering effort harder, but grip is okay during conering
3. They wobble beyond 120/130kmph and feel uncomfortable doing higher speeds.
4. Vibration and bumps are felt a lot during rides.
Honestly waiting for them to wear out, so that I can switch back to stock Ceats. The ceats feel so planted and grippy after riding on these ralcos.
Only pros I can think of is looks and prices
Hello there,
Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback on Ralco.
Please have the wheel alignment and cone set checked for the wobbling issue. The tire could be responsible, but the other components are often found to be the bigger culprits.
There are multiple offers available these days. Please review them before purchasing Ceat.
Have a safe and enjoyable ride.
Best regards,
@@WanderingSom hello... Thanks for the reply. Yes it might be the cone set or the wheels, but they seemed fine before the tyre swap.
I think these issues rise when we push our interceptor, upto about 5k rpm they seem fine, post that I think the hard compound rubber in the tyre meets it's limit...
