Interceptor 650 Tubeless Rims Conversion For Only Rs 5,000: Way2Speed Kit Installation

For those watching a video of mine for the first time, I have a custom Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 that runs on 17 inch custom aluminium rims that are wider than stock.

And I have been wanting to convert them to tubeless from a very long time.

The safest, tried and tested option that I wanted to go for was an Outex kit. Outex does make a kit for the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, however, that kit was useless for me.

Since Outex kits are pre-cut according to the motorcycle's rim's width, and my rims are wider, I could not use the standard kit.

Outex also does not do custom kits.

So, if I were to still insist on Outex, I would have had to buy two separate kits from two different motorcycles to match my 3.5 inch front rim and 4.25 inch rear rims.

Now, an Outex kit in itself is Rs 13,500. And buying two kits to mix and match would have meant Rs 27,000 for just the kit and Rs 2,500 for installation.

That is steep. I am sure you would agree with that.

And so, I was stuck running tubes inside my custom rims.

Until, Melvin from Way2Speed decided to help me out.

Way2Speed has come up with their own way to convert the rims to tubeless and it essentially entails you applying a solution on the rims and letting it dry out, sealing the gaps between the spokes and the rims.

The video explains it better than my words here.

The kit costs Rs 5,000 for a regular Interceptor or Continental GT650 but since my rims are wider, Way2Speed sent me an extra bottle to cover the surface and I had to pay Rs 6,500 for the kit.

Still, nothing in comparison to the Rs 27,000 I would have had to pay for Outex.

I've been using this kit for over a month now and have even done a 190 kmph run with them. The tyres have not lose any pressure whatsoever.

So, the kit has been working brilliantly for me.

Melvin told me that he has installed this tubeless conversion kit in over 20 motorcycles and none have reported any failure so far.

The one drawback of using this kit that I can think of, it is applied by hand, manually.

And that means, it will never be spread as evenly as the Outex tape. Which means, the wheel will never be 100 per cent balanced. Even though we will probably never be able to tell the difference, which would be minimal, it is still something that I thought I should highlight.

The long term reliability of this kit is yet to be seen. Since it is such a critical component, I am only laying the facts in front on you.

I am neither asking you to buy it, nor am I asking you not to. I can tell you though that it is working for me.

The rest is your call.

Needless to say, this kit is not just restricted to the Interceptor 650 and can be used on any spoked rim.

I hope you found this video useful.

Thank you so much for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.

Cheers
