Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 by Antazo Custom: Less Noise, More Character
Some motorcycles shout for attention.
This Interceptor 650 doesn’t.
The build from Antazo Custom Motorcycles from Philippines is the kind you notice slowly—first the stance, then the exhaust, then the tiny details that make you walk around it one more time. It’s not trying to become something else. It’s still an Interceptor, just the version many of us wish Royal Enfield sold from the showroom.
Built With Restraint
Most custom jobs on the 650 twins fall into two extremes—either loud café racers with clip-ons and rearsets, or heavy scramblers with too much metal hanging everywhere. Antazo chose the middle path.
The frame is untouched.
The engine is stock.
Even the riding position stays friendly. What changes is the attitude.
The Parts That Matter
The first thing you see is the twin high-mounted exhaust. The wrapped headers and brushed heat shields give it that purposeful, rally-style look without looking like a catalogue build. More importantly, the bike now has a deeper, calmer note—grown-up, not noisy.
At the back sit Öhlins shocks, probably the most sensible upgrade on any Interceptor. Anyone who has lived with the stock suspension knows why. The bike now sits tighter through corners and feels planted even on broken city roads.
The rear end has been cleaned with a small LED lamp and a tidy plate mount. No bulky tail, no extra brackets—just enough to keep it legal and neat.
And then there’s the seat: a simple ribbed unit that looks period-correct and actually works for real rides. No thin showpiece foam here.
Still a Motorcycle, Not a Project
What I like most about this build is what it doesn’t try to be.
You could commute on it Monday morning.
Ride to the hills on Saturday.
Park it outside a café on Sunday. It’s not a trailer queen. It’s an everyday Interceptor with better manners and better style.
Who Is Antazo Custom?
Philippines based Antazo isn’t one of those workshops chasing internet fame with wild concepts. Their builds usually follow a quiet logic—improve the ride, clean the lines, keep the soul. This Interceptor fits that philosophy perfectly.
No crazy paint, no unnecessary fabrication, no drama, Just good taste.
Quick Look at the Changes
- Custom twin exhaust with wrapped headers
- Öhlins rear suspension
- Clean LED tail setup
- Custom ribbed seat
- Subtle tank graphics
- Minor detail finishing across the bike
Why This Build Works
Because it respects the Interceptor.
The 650 already has a lovely motor, a relaxed character and timeless proportions. Antazo didn’t fight that. They simply turned the volume knob a little higher on the good parts and a little lower on the clutter.
That’s real customization.
