Build or refresh your 650 Twin’s front wheel the factory way with this genuine Royal Enfield Spoke & Nipple KIT. The kit includes 40x OE spokes (PN 148640) + 40x OE nipples (PN 585179)—exact hardware used on the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 front wheel. Royal Enfield’s front rim uses 36 spokes, so you’ll have 4 spares ready for future truing or roadside replacements.
Because it’s OEM, the spoke bend, length, thread, and head form match the RE hub and rim drilling; nipples are the correct taper and thread to tension cleanly without galling. Result: a wheel that builds straight, holds tension, and stays true—no guesswork or mixed metallurgy. Use this kit when rebuilding a damaged rim, replacing corroded hardware, or converting a tired wheel back to stock reliability. (Rear wheels and other models use different part numbers—see fitment table.)

FAQs:
Q1. Why does the kit have 40 when my wheel uses 36?
Royal Enfield front wheel uses 36 spokes. We include 4 spare spokes & 4 spare nipples for future service.
Q2. Will this fit the rear wheel or other RE models?
No—rear and other models use different lengths/threads. Match by VIN fiche for each wheel.
Q3. Are the nipples stainless or plated steel?
They are OE plated steel nipples with the correct taper/thread for RE 650 front rims.
Q4. Can I mix these with aftermarket spokes?
Avoid mixing—different metallurgy/thread tolerances can cause uneven tension and rim damage.
Q5. Do I need anything else for the rebuild?
We recommend new rim tape and checking bearings/seals; torque and true to spec.
