Just a quick update, I used your link to the Front tyre on eBay from M&P , the link has now been changed, I received a AX41S which is correct to there description but is not a knobbly tyre, they do also have the AX41 knobbly tyre just not from your link, I didn't want anyone else getting the wrong tyre like myself. keep up the good work I am loving the channel.
I do wish RE had chosen the common 17inch tubeless rims at both ends for their first model... Some TKC's would have been sweet for "scrambling" and some excellent sticky rubber options for the road. I think this is where they went a little too far towards the form over function. Maybe in their upcoming models they could just do what Triumph does. Change the rims and make completely different models. Roadsters with 17 alloys, classics with 18 wires and a off road 17/19 wire model. Different lick of paint, handlebars, pegs, suspension, seats and names. They'd clean up the market! A bike for just about everyone.
Hi! Could you please tell me the size of this off road tyres for Interceptor 650? What size is being used for both the tyres? I would like to know its height and wide. Thanks!
Finally got to watch the video👍...tyres look awesome👌👌👌...bike looks cool...pls share the tyre specifications, size and model as I'm looking for knobbies for my interceptor too.
Good tires for off road, definitely looks good but for good paved roads them only add noise and vibrations, and if you’re planning to do a lot of off road riding you’ll need different suspension (my thought)
Hi @Dorman,,just wanted to know if you faced any issues post using this tyres..m planning to get same tyres but slightly concerned on if there are any cons
I own myself a Continental GT 650 and I am considering changing the tired to something knobbier like this. Ive read that you can reach up to 150 on the rear and 120 up front, but i dont have any information on the width, was wondering if you could give me a hand on that. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Pal, they tend to have a range of sizes on the box. I think 130/80-18. Main thing I would recommend is going for a heavy duty one. The rear was a real pain to seat the first time. Do it whilst the tyre is nice and warm and plenty of lube!
@@DormanDiaries I know but they said they are going to add those techs because of the BS6 norms ( just like euro 4,5) The price of these machines will go up in India so they want to give customer something more .
Did you find any similar options? I’m in Brazil, love this tyre but impossible to get hold of over here. Were there any other brands/tyre models that came up with the correct fitment?
Hi, Check out Chris Konings on Instagram he has just fitted 130/80/18 on the rear Heidenau K60 (not the scout version) and 110 Heidenau K60 scout on the front 110/80/18
You haven't got much room for changing on the interceptor without changing other items, I wouldn't want to go any bigger than this on the rear but all tyre manufacturers have slight differences. On the bridgestone website they tell you what width rim each tyre is recommended for and they give you actual diameters etc.
Not had an issue yet, I've changed wheel sizes on previous bikes as well. Just check with your insurer on a case by case basis. Putting a rear fitment on the back may become an issue but I know people do it and still get insurance an accident investigator may think different though.
Those don't look like tubeless compatible rims, (not in terms of air seal but the flange shape for hooking tire onto)???? Even though the bike come on with tubeless tires
Yep standard rims are not tubeless. Your fine with a tube in TL tyres though. I'd always defer to what the tyre manufacturer says though, think there are a few wild cards. I did a lot of research before taking the punt on these. Love them though.
Yea pal, fine I chuck it about on them, predictable. Only had one close shave so far where I lent a little too far on a cold damp corner, but even a street tyre would have probably slipped.
@@DormanDiaries Thx but I meant if the rims of the interceptor are fit for tubeless on what concerns its internal structure: the bead flange /seat / hump of a tube fitted rim is different from a tubeless rim so that my concern whether a tubeless tire will fit safely on a tube rim.
@@PMVasconcellos My tyres are tubeless but say if fitted to non tubeless rims then fit a tube. Not all give this option. Its more tyre related than rim.
@@DormanDiaries Understood. RE store said the rims would fit for tubeless but I needed to make sure, don't want to take the risk. Thanks for your help.
Isn't the Battlax speed rating too low for the Interceptor? The top speed is about 112mph, which means it should use an 'S' rated tyre, but the Battlax are 'P' and 'Q' rated.
Yea i researched carefully on size and speed speed rating before purchase. I think mine are rated at 94 from memory. Thats more than fast enough for me.
Don't know yet mate, dry here for a change and on lock-down so not taking it out on the street. I'm used to knobbly tyres though so not expecting anything unexpected.
The best video I've seen BY MILES on a DIY tyre change. Well done and thanks!
Thank you sir!
Every time I look at this bike I wish to own one
Thank you sir

Nice video, the knobbly tyres suit the bike well. Can't wait till we can get riding again! Cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve, I know, all this perfect riding weather after a winter of rain and we can’t go anywhere!
You could use some heavy duty tubes perhaps. Those tires are really good looking 👍
Man I love your bike.👍👍👍🏍🏍🏍
Super . Well done!

Agree a 17/19 combo would be ideal for tyre choices, Im sure they will get there
They look great 👍
Thank you for your Interceptor videos, I'm really learning a lot from you.
Could you please tell me what headlight grill you have on your bike?
Hi! Could you please tell me the size of this off road tyres for Interceptor 650? What size is being used for both the tyres? I would like to know its height and wide. Thanks!

Looks great and lots of fun!
Thanks for watching!
Great work pal.

Hi DrM, Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross AX41. The front is 100/90 - 18 the rear is 130/80 - 18. Thanks for watching!

I’m deffo on the look out for some longer travel front springs!
Looks great
Thanks Superfan!
Dude your brave using acf50 as wheel lube!!
Used silicone grease more recently! Even slippier !!
I am just wondering if these tires have a grip while cornering ? cause the company tires Do
Hi there how have you found these tyres on roads and in the wet in particular? thanks Mike
looks great mate
Thanks Kevin, much appreciated!
The rear link purchase link says the tyre is tubeless.. does this matter? Thanks
Hi, what tyres are these exactly? Im thinking of buying them for my interceptor but I would like to know exact sizes. Thank you!
Le me : sky is blue today..
Dorman: don't know yet mate.. Lockdown.. tell you after
Hi @Dorman,,just wanted to know if you faced any issues post using this tyres..m planning to get same tyres but slightly concerned on if there are any cons
Where did you get the number plate above the headlight from please
How did you turn off the ABS?
Nice modified bike,, ( love from india)
Suits the Interceptor really well!
Yea they do, thanks for watching!
looks great !

Dan Matos keep as close as you can to original size on the rear or it will catch.
do you using the same size tire for front and rear? great video, already watch all, and need moree :)
Hello, thanks for watching, different sizes front and rear
@@DormanDiaries do you mind to share what size precisly?
@@enduroadventureid7565 130/80 -18 on the rear. 100/90 -18 on the front 👍
Hey brother love the build, just ordered me some tires, any chance you recall what tube size you used on the rear? Thank you very much
Hi Pal, they tend to have a range of sizes on the box. I think 130/80-18. Main thing I would recommend is going for a heavy duty one. The rear was a real pain to seat the first time. Do it whilst the tyre is nice and warm and plenty of lube!
@@DormanDiaries thanks mate!!!
love that exhaust which brand and coast?
West coast
Can we put the rear tire on front rim?
What pipes have you mounted?
Royal Enfield is going to launch the scrambler with that engine with more tech
Be great when they launch one, don’t want more tech though, I’d rather not even have abs!
@@DormanDiaries I know but they said they are going to add those techs because of the BS6 norms ( just like euro 4,5)
The price of these machines will go up in India so they want to give customer something more .
SAMUDRA KUMAR BARMAN - less is more! Simplicity is king 🤴
@@DormanDiaries that's also true , that's why people prefer classic 350 rather than Thunderbird 350 (new name - meteor 350)
Name of the exhaust and price please? Sounds awesome

Don't you have problems with motorcycle insurance because you have a tire outside the standard size?

Will it's effect the milage?

Hi. Love how these look! One question, are they ok just for city riding? I just adore the look, would never go off-road to be honest :)
Yea pal, fine I chuck it about on them, predictable. Only had one close shave so far where I lent a little too far on a cold damp corner, but even a street tyre would have probably slipped.
Tell me about ur tyre - braking in road....
On road what advantages than perali pls explain

Not without converting with a tubeless kit.

What's your opinion of the Battlax having run them for a year.. would you buy them again?
Definitely, very predictable, not loud, quite similar to the tkc80s if you’ve ever had them
Any issues with insurance when not using tyres specifically approved by Royal Enfield for this model?
Mark Bright no they don’t give a hoot
You need a sump cover on it now...
High rise pipes.
What are the sizes on those tires for the INT?
Hello, standard front size, rear is a 130/80
Hey will these tyres fit harley davidson Street 750?
No mate. They don’t do the sizes to suit.

@@DormanDiaries Just don't go on the track with them!
@@soulrebelno1 only a dirt one!
@@DormanDiaries What are they like on wet tarmac when it comes to stopping and cornering?
I changed the rim or stock rim. is it a tubeless
My rims are stock. The tyre can run with or without tube, its labelled for both.
How much the tyre cost you ??
I paid £165 for the pair. (15,500 Inr)
Have you notified your insurance as they are not specified for your bike. If in an accident they may refuse insurance.
Paul Messenger yea, they aren’t bothered
What about corning on that tyre
Gt650 wala shivam bo fine che
nice
How do they fare on wet tarmac?
Don't know yet mate, dry here for a change and on lock-down so not taking it out on the street. I'm used to knobbly tyres though so not expecting anything unexpected.
Which company is this tyre?
In the title 😉
Stability at higher speeds ??
I don’t know yet matey, lockdown. But the big adventure bikes rip on them well enough.
@@DormanDiaries thanks .....do share experience post lockdown
Great video mate. Hows the ABS after the change? Any issues?
Not noticed anything yet but can’t give it a proper test yet with the lockdown situation. Thanks for watching!
Just clears the front fender underside 😂
See later videos 😉
Really like these, i'm also changing my bike into a bit of a scrambler. Just wondering what MX helmets do you have? DO you have a Bell Moto 3?
Thanks Tom, yes I have a bell mx9 and a bell moto 3. Will be doing a vid shortly!
@@DormanDiaries Excellent, I look forward to it!
Tyre name?
Its in the Title my friend
Ok. But are you sure that tyre is it worth for off road.
@@sagarbule2690 yes they are fantastic
Glad to see you've removed the ugly tail light housing - did you have a video for that?
You should have involved your lovely girlfriend 👍
Yes mate, check out my playlist, I've done a couple of different ones as I re-positioned the indicators twice. Thanks for watching!
I'm confused it's a road bike.only my opinion why not buy the Himalayan stay safe.
Because I love the interceptor and the old school scrambler look! Take care
Colour of the bike is not original, fuel tank is also seems different,
