I tried modifying my bike to give it some off-road capabilities but eventually, I ended up buying the Triumph Scrambler 400 X.
Bhpian nasirkaka recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
I love the 650 engine and wanted my Interceptor to have some off-road capabilities. Something like a Scrambler, and that is what I tried modifying my Interceptor into. Altered front and rear suspension, handlebar, foot pegs, raised GC, modified the seat, reduced weight with lightweight pipes. I even got my bike converted to tubeless.
But we can do only so much with the modifications. The bike is a beast to manage offroad with our limited skills and strength.
Eventually, I got the Triumph Scrambler 400X and this is much better suited for such rides. Now the Interceptor is sitting in the garage and will soon be put up for sale.
I would be very much interested in the Bear 650, but not anymore as I have the 400X and am pretty happy with it.
