The new Royal Enfield Scram 440 features several upgrades and features over the 411.
Royal Enfield has pulled the wraps off its latest urban adventurer, the Scram 440, marking a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Scram 411. While maintaining its rugged DNA, the new model brings substantial improvements that customers have been yearning for.
At the heart of this transformation lies a more muscular 443 cc powerplant. This air and oil-cooled single-cylinder engine flexes its muscles with 25.4 bhp at 6,250rpm and a meaty 34 Nm of torque at 4,000rpm – a modest but welcome boost of 1.1 bhp and 2 Nm over its predecessor.
But added power isn't the main story here. The addition of a 6th gear will further help the Scram 440 to become a better tourer, which felt a bit compromised with the Scram 411 with its 5-speed gearbox. The clutch action is also said to be lighter than before but we'll verify that once we get to ride it earlier next year.
The braking department receives a noteworthy upgrade with an improved front caliper, promising sharper response and reduced stopping distances. This enhancement addresses one of the key areas where riders felt the 411 could improve.
Perhaps the most celebrated addition is the switchable ABS feature – a capability that was mysteriously absent in the 411 despite being available on its cousin, the Himalayan 411. This new feature transforms the Scram 440 into a more capable dirt-friendly machine, allowing controlled slides and better off-road manoeuvrability.
In a nod to practical urban riding, Royal Enfield has equipped the Scram 440 with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. This modern touch eliminates one of the biggest headaches faced by 411 owners – the dreaded roadside tube changes that came with the spoke wheels.
Keeping that old-school vibe intact is the same semi-digital analogue instrument cluster. However, the Scram 440 is now available with an LED headlight and tail light, along with a USB Type-A charger, as standard. The Tripper Pod navigation is also there in the mix but as an option.
Lastly, the new RE Scram 440 is available in two variants Force and Trail. The former gets the alloy wheel set up and three colour options — Blue, Grey and Teal. The latter gets the spoke wheel setup wrapped around tube wheels and with just two colour options — Green and Blue.
Royal Enfield's careful evolution of the Scram series shows a keen understanding of rider feedback, resulting in a motorcycle that's better equipped for both urban jungles and weekend escapades. Furthermore, we think that it is the perfect versatile and affordable alternative option for anybody who is still not ready to commit to the bigger Himalayan 450. Head to the link here to know how.
