Thanks for the update
No problem 👍
gud one Mr Som !!
Thank you AP.
Good one Dada.. I am planning for interceptor
Thank you Alok. Happy to know you liked it.
Cheers!
Bhessst sarrrr
Thanku sirji
Another amazing video sir! Want to ride with you one day. 👍😃
Sure Ashish. Are you also from Delhi?
@@WanderingSom no sir I am from Rajasthan Bhilwara.
Sir congrats on your 2.0. Even I am looking to change tyres on my Int 650. Your experience is very valuable indeed. Can u please comment on which is a better windscreen based on your riding experience
As you know I have used all four possible windshield. Started with original one for Int, moved onto the Himalayan. They had the Carbon Racing and not using the one from InScape.
So far, I liked the Carbon Racing the most, however the rods that were attached to the handlebar made me uncomfortable.
The InScape which I am using currently, I would know more about it once I have completed my trip.
I will update on the same.
Thank you for reaching out Chakrapani.
Cheers!
All the best for your trip. Ride safe and have a great time.
Would you please comment on the wet grip on these tyres? Thanks!
Hello Lancy, just like any other dual-purpose tires, Ralco also performs satisfactorily. I have ridden thru slush, knee-deep streams, puddles, etc. I have had no loss of control.
Hence, I would like to assume that they also have a decent grip over wet surfaces.
Tyres are looking dope 👌 👌
Which mobile mount you use big brother? It was looking sturdy.
Bobo
Thank you Namit
Hello Mr. Som. I have a BS6 Interceptor with the Ceats. I have faced many punctures on them and I’m pretty much tired. Are the Ralcos better in terms of puncture resistance?
Regards
Hello Samiran,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Ceat, especially if they are the stock tires. The stock ones often have a lower thickness than aftermarket ones of the same brand. Ralco, being a hard compound tire, tends to be less susceptible to punctures.
It might be worth considering a switch to alloys or, at the very least, getting tubeless conversion done. In January, I opted for the Way2Speed conversion and found it beneficial.
I hope these insights are helpful. Ride safe!
Have these tyres 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 again,
I shared my response to the previous comment.
Cheers!
Sir...thank you for Ralco suggestion.. now using same tyre and full satisfy....pls suggest me to upgrade rear brake system...
Hello there,
Happy to be of some help.
As for the brakes, stick to stock. They are good and last long as well.
I am also using stock.
Cheers!
Hi Som After looking at your convincing videos on Ralco tyres , i am now convinced that these are best for my Blaster too. I could not figure out whether the front and rear tire are the same ( i.e.. Speed Blaster) Btw i could make out in the video that you are using PRELOAD ADJUSTERS , want to know which ones are they and how's their performance. Do preload adjusters make the difference in the front suspension and how does it effect cornering etc. TIA.
Hello Sanjay,
Both are F&R are Speed Blaster and of different profile ... as per the stock. The funny part is that the tire that goes onto the front, is actually a Rear tire for some other bike. Just that the profile is an exact match for the Int and hence it is used.
Yes, I have been using the pre-loader and I have been not so happy with the performance. If you were to use a slightly heavier fork oil, there is would be a significant enhancement in the performance. You could go for 15W and it's good.
Hope I am able to answer you queries.
Happy & safe riding.
Cheers!
Sir how much air pressure are you maintaining in these Ralco tyres ?
@@sanjay3736 30 & 34
Bro your videos are very helpful and informative. one doubt can put other model from ralcho for the front tyre and speed blaster for the rear kindly clarify
Helo Janaharajan,
Happy to note that you found the content useful.
There is only one option available from Ralco in 130/18" profile. Hence the probability of going wrong is ZERO.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom thank you bro
Which tyre would u recommend for city ride.. not much mountains.. almost no off roading .. mine is still the stock and i feel the wobble at time, i lose my confidence and the speeding up becomes almost impossible after that.
Hey there,
Thanks for the message.
These days, you've got some great options. You can choose between MRF and Reise. Reise is a bit more expensive, but MRF is really good.
I used MRF tires for my last trip to Ladakh. They're dual-purpose tires.
When you change the tires, make sure to get the spoke alignments checked. I'm sure you won't have any more wobbling issues after that.
Ride safe and have fun!
@@WanderingSom thank you so much for your kind response.. i m sure it would help
I'm 5'4 and almost tip toeing when I put my feet down. I can't afford to have Ralco on my int 650. 😅 Amazing video, nevertheless!
Hi Aswin, with Ralco tires, the height of the bike won't increase as the profile is exactly that of the stock. Hence, I don't think it would be a problem for you.
You should try out a bike which as Ralco and make your final decision.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom I understand the technical aspect Som, but the knobs do add around a few mm to the overall height (makes a difference when one is as short as I am 😅), I had the opportunity to ride one in the recent past, and I was thankful for my choice to go with ceat zoom
@@AswinJP Thanks for sharing Aswin, never released this aspect of the tires. Makes sense. Thank you once again. Happy & safe riding.
Did u do wheel balancing when you installed ralco 1.0.?
Balancing - no, Alignment - yes.
@@WanderingSom spokes alignment your mean?
Hello, is there any mileage drop, Iam thinking of moving to speed blaster from stock Ceat zoom cruze ??
Not at all. The highest I got was 33+ and was on Ralco. Believe its mostly about how you ride, not much about the tyres. Moreover, the Ralco is a dual purpose tyre. So neednt worry. Go for it.
I am planning for ralco for my interceptor . I have changed my bike to alloys. For pirelli stock I was using front 36 and rear 40 air pressure which was prefect. Any idea on how much would it suit for ralco on alloys ?
Hi Adarsh, I am very keen to know which alloys are you using? Please share more details.
I maintain 30PSI for front and 34PSI for rear. When with load, I increase the rear to 36PSI.
@@WanderingSom I am using royal erado alloys for my interceptor 650. It's 1.5 years already. I brought from Amazon
@@adarshlife1635 thank you for sharing the details.
These tyres are so bad in rain I felt like back tyre was sliding from side to side like on ice! I have lost a lot of confidence in driving the bike in just a week after I put them on
I couldn't have agreed more with you on that. Kranthi, you are right.
Could you tell me which is the best tyre for rains? And whichever that is, how good would that be on tarmac, or on gravel, or mud or slush, etc.
There is no perfect tyre that suites all riding conditions.
However, after having ridden for little over 20k on Ralco, it is relatively the most viable option that we have currently in India.
There are really good branded high-end tyres that come at cost in access of 30K. And it will last you the same length of 8-10K kms.
Hence, to me it didn't make any sense.
Me too waiting for more viable and better options to choose from.
yea its true 0% wet grip bike 40 ki speed pe bhe traction wheel slip
karti hai
Yea bhai the worst tyre 🛞 cannot use it in rain even on 40-50 the tyre gets slip. And also you can’t enjoy the bike with this tyre feels like uncomfortable
yo Som vai just install these tires can u tell me what Tire Pressure i can go with Ralco front & back ???
Hey Sourav. 30 & 34 should be good. That's what I used to keep.
@@WanderingSom thanku really enjoying the tires
I am planning on getting the same...any wobbling issue?
Nope. None.
Whats the rim size of yours on both tyres..
Mine is 19 in front and 18 in back can i install it!
Mine are stock rims, both of 18". While I am not sure, I guess you can install 19" front. Won't it disturb the basis ergonomics of the bike?
Sir, is the uneven wear because of the inverted position of the tyre?
Nope, it coz of the block tyre patterns. Someday if I get a chance I will explain with a demo. There's a scientific reason behind it.
@@WanderingSom thanks, appreciate it.
Is it good tyer..
I have stock peril in tyer
I am worrying about puncher
So what is the permanent solution
Nothing is permanent my friend. Nothing!
Ralco is the best amongst the options available currently for Interceptor & GT.
I have clocked about 15k on Ralco and I am quite satisfied.
Unlike the current stock (Ceat), Ralco is a tubeless tyre and it gives you the option to have the Tubeless Conversion done. You may use Outex or Way2Speed, whichever fits your budget.
Most importantly, if you are into touring, you must learn to fix basic problems of the bike ... including punctures.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom thanks for the reply ...I am happy about your suggestion
Once again thank you so much
Sir ralco or stock ceat or perilli which is best in your opinion
I want to change my int tyre
Plz suggest me sir for my future 15000 km....!
Hello Aman,
Pirelli is not available, and even if you get it, it's likely to be quite expensive.
Ceat is a stock and good for track. Depending upon what kind of riding you do, you should select your next set of tyres.
I have used Ralco extensively, across all kinds of terrains and over 14500 kms.
Hence, I am happy with it and that's the reason I got my second round of Ralco as well.
Hope you are able to make a work decision for yourself.
Happy and safe riding.
Cheers!
Hi Sir How is Ralco speed Blaster at Cornering ? & At High Speeds
U running tube or tubeless?
I wasn't then. Finally got the conversation done couple of weeks back.
Price u bought bro
Hi,
It costed me about Rs. 5.5K
You are a Ralco fan
Yes and no.
I Ralco as it has proven its functionality, cheap and available. No coz recently I got a MRF tyre. Now I hope it lives upto my expectations.
Hello. Can you please mention the tyre pressure you're maintaining on Ralcos? I've recently installed them and keeping front 30psi and rear 32 psi
That's a good pressure to maintain. I just keep two points higher in the rear - 34 ... and 36 when I have pillion.
Somnath ji Do they also produce 150/70 r 18
Hello Ambrish, Ralco does have 150 profile but not in 18".
@@WanderingSom This is the classic problem, all are maintaining in 17" but hardly anyone for 18" :-( have been in touch with Dismotech for rim conversion to 17", cannot say how wise is this idea, but pick is going to be fast definitely.

Sir what is the cost of the set. I also want to change my bike's tyre and where I get it. I m from C. P.
Hello Arun. Ralco is available for about 5k - 5.2K. The price fluctuates a bit. Best is to call the dealer and get the price. Just be aware that it should be more than what I just mentioned.
