Amen!

Thank you Joe, happy to know you liked the content. Cheers!

Congratulations, Shivanshu, on the new alloys. They will save you a lot of trouble. The MRF tires are a good choice. Happy and safe riding.

Yes, they are good tyres. Used them across Ladakh and performed really well.

Hey Rajan, saw the lights. Its pure LED with projector kind if lenses. Found it to be too harsh for opposite traffic. Won't be able to switch off either. My currently Osram is good, got the Alpha to light in wherever required. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!

Hello Vinay, I wanted to express my gratitude for watching the video and taking the time to share your comment. I am eager to test the behavior of MRF Nylogrip Zapper on a wet surface and will definitely provide an update once I have firsthand experience. Regarding your question about why I reversed the front tire, the explanation is quite simple. Please consider the following points: Both Ralco nor MRF offered authentic front tires. (I am told, it was only recently that MRF has finally launched a genuine 18" tyre.) Nearly all front tires, regardless of the brand, have an inverted V tread pattern. The primary purpose of the tread is to prevent or delay "aquaplaning," which is when water accumulates between the tire rubber and the road surface. Inverted V tread patterns serve multiple functions: they enhance traction during steering and handling, reduce noise, and improve braking performance, as the front wheel is responsible for stopping the bike. Since the Ralco and MRF tires I possess are originally designed for the rear, which is 18" in profile, flipping them allows them to effectively achieve the inverted V pattern. I am considering creating a video on this topic soon, where I will provide a more detailed explanation. In the meantime, I hope my answer has sufficiently addressed your query. Cheers!

@@WanderingSom thanks for the awesome explanation.. will be trying this setup myself.. 😊

@@vinayacerejo glad to know that 😁

Thanks, it's very informative Som❤

@@rajkumar-in3mh Thank you👍🙏

Hi Ritwik, As I mentioned, the tyre sizes are exact that of stock. Unicorn rear profile is same as Int650 front. The MRF tyres I am using are P rated. I have already done 140+ to test, though I don't recommend doing that too. Incase you don't find them jn Bangalore, connect with DaMods, Gurgaon. They can have it sent to you.

I won't know whether is made any difference to the mileage or not, it didn't go down for sure.

Hello Debajyoti, I am glad to know that you found what you were looking for. Do share you experience of MRF. If you happen to ride on water, off-roads, etc. let all know about its performance. Thanks for writing in. Cheers!

Vredestine and ceat also have tubeless tyres made for the interceptor with stock spec.

@@diaryofawanderingboot4058 yes recently. Have you used yourself any ?

Thats a very cool observation. You could possibly be right too, even though I didn't have similar kind of an experience. After switching from Ralco block tyre to these track types, the handling became very nimble, smooth n agile. Initially, it was bit uneasy for me to handle. During curvy ride of Ladakh, I did push the tyres hard and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to lean nearly till the edge; never faced any sort of an issue. I suppose, you gotta get used to these tyres. Thanks for writing in. Cheers!

7:23 I too changed to MRF 110/90 for front and 130/70. Was running on stock ceats. Like how he mentioned these are more rounded than the stock, so if you don't keep it straight the rounded angle will give you a least resistance to turn the front weight of the bike. It is a case you get adjusted to it and man when you get adjusted the bike becomes very easy to corner... I'm just loving it.

​@@halleyboyyyhi sir one question will u recommend these mrf zapper tyres over ceat as im upgrading from spokes to alloys so need some decent tyre which tubeless too vredes... Those r expensive so looking for mrf whats ur opinion on these tyres and upgrade from ceat to mrf

Thank you, Ganesh. I genuinely appreciate your response and the experiences you've shared. Using the side stand trick is a clever old hack, and I can't take credit for its invention. I saw it in a video once and thought it was worth sharing. When trying it, just be cautious about the brake disc - it's a good point to remove it to avoid any dents. I'm curious, are you on the taller side for an Interceptor rider? The Himalayan might be a more comfortable fit for your height, as it's designed to offer a more accommodating riding posture. The CR windshield is a great accessory, but given your stature and riding position, it's uncertain how effective it'll be in reducing wind buffeting. Now, when it comes to tires, I've never personally used Ceat, and I've had some reservations about the brand, even for my cars. Ralco and MRF are solid options, and the choice largely depends on your typical riding terrain. Ralco tends to provide that extra grip and traction on loose or gravelly surfaces. Another tire worth considering is Vredestein; they offer profiles that match well with Interceptors. Wishing you joyful and secure rides ahead!

Really appreciate the long form reply. Ive ridden the Himalayan but Interceptors character and power delivery sold me on it, for my height I've increased the seat height and extended the rider and pillion pegs significantly forward But still looking forward to the 452 which my little brother will buy. I'll hold off on purchasing the wanderer till I do a bit more research, and check out vredestein. Keep rocking som 😁

Yup. Thats the sense I get too. Thanks for your advise. Cheers!

@@WanderingSom well i just change mine OEM Perelli tires to Ralco & now i m riding on offroads like a mad man

Indeed you made a good choice of tyres. It's tried and tested. Let's see how the MRF behaves 🤔

Good choice. Go for it.

That's a difficult question to answer. However, I would say that if I doing normal India ride on normal road, I would go for MRF, and when I am heading back to the Himalayas, it would be Ralco.

@@WanderingSom thanks for your help. Will go for ralco dn. 👍

Good choice. Ride safely.

I did try. The road was so bumpy, that the cam's position would get twisted. Sorry about it.

A better n updated review coming up post my Ladakh trip #LehDobara

Kya baat hai ... lage raho ...
