Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Alloy Wheels Upgrade Cost & Details

One of the consistent drawbacks with the Royal Enfield 650 twins since the 2018 launch was that you had to live with tubed tyres. After a much longer wait than expected, Royal Enfield has finally decided to offer both the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 with alloy wheels that support tubeless tyres.
This is wonderful news, but many people seem to find that the retro charm of the 650 twins is lost with the look of the alloy wheels. That's just a matter of personal preference, if you want a 650 twin but also want the peace of mind that comes with tubeless tyres.
What I meant peace of mind here is, every puncture will be a nightmare on this six fifty with spoke rims. In fact, I've faced the puncher. All of these were repaired with a new tube every time. Also, once you take out the rim, the bike goes out of alignment and hence you've to visit the RE workshop to get it balanced & aligned.
Spoke wheels have their own advantages, Traditionally, spoke wheels are more rugged. They're also easy to repair in case of bends and hence most ADV bikes & Rally bikes come with them as standard. By the bye the choice is yours.
You can order alloys as individual spare parts from Royal Enfield. The front alloy is priced at Rs 7,500 while the rear one costs Rs 9,000. The person would need to buy separate tubeless tyres with the alloys. I have brought tire also from Royal Enfield itself, tyre brand is VREDESTEIN, it cost front tyre 4080 and back tyre 4850, but for the tyre you have lot of choice.
After the alloy and tubeless tyre upgrade, so far i have done 3000 kilometer ride, like how the way I ride previous with spoke wheels, of course the ride comfort is increased, it feel handle bar very light, definitely worth upgrade.
