Royal Enfield is
displaying two custom models at the 2019 Bangkok International Motor Show. The
first, which we brought to you earlier this week, was the Continental GT 650
based Vayu. The second motorcycle is a custom Interceptor INT 650 called 'The
Prime Project', from Zeus Custom. It features a cafe racer persona.
The custom Royal
Enfield Interceptor INT 650 features a dual tone finish that comprises black
base paint with golden stripes across the length. The front of the bike retains
the round headlight shape, but the mask gets a golden finish while the housing
has been blacked out to match the paint theme of the body.
The fascia is
followed by a single-pod instrument console that carries the dual tone theme of
the motorcycle. The dial shows only the speedometer. The revised cockpit gets a
clip-on style handlebar for sportier ergonomics. The standard bike, as regular
readers would know, comes with a relatively tall set unit for an upright riding
position. The switchgear has been replaced with aftermarket buttons.
The fuel tank gets
Zeus Custom’s logo along with the standard motorcycle’s name. The top of the
tank comes with chrome filler cap that adds a nice contrast to the package. The
entire top body of the custom Interceptor INT 650 is formed by a single-piece
structure. The tank is followed by a rider-only seat while the rear gets a cowl
style finish that adds to the cafe racer look of the motorcycle.
On the sides, there
are custom-made exhaust that, like the standard motorcycle, feature twin
outlets – one placed on either side. The exhaust pipes feature a matte silver
finish with golden tips. As in the case of the custom Continental GT 650, the
wheels of the custom Interceptor INT 650 are wrapped in fatter tyres. Hardware
specifications have been retained from the standard Interceptor INT 650, and
the motorcycle from Zeus Custom rides on wire-spoke wheels. Shock absorption
tasks are performed by telescopic front forks and twin-sided springs at the
rear. Anchoring department is handled by disc brakes on both ends, and the
motorcycle features the safety net of dual-channel ABS.
Changes to the
engine specifications, if any, have not been revealed. In the factory state of
tune, the 648 cc parallel-twin, air-cooled engine delivers 47 bhp at 7,250 rpm
and 52 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm.
