Royal Enfield will be launching the Scram 440 Motorbike in India early next year with better enhancements over the Scram 411
Royal Enfield unveiled the Scram 440 at the 2024 Motoverse event in Vagator, Goa, introducing a host of significant updates aimed at enhancing both performance and aesthetics. Here’s what you need to know about the latest in Royal Enfield’s lineup:
Design
Although the Scram 440 keeps a silhouette similar to the Scram 411, it includes modern touches like an LED headlight and a switchable ABS system for off-road adventures. The motorcycle maintains the half-duplex split cradle frame from the Himalayan 411, ensuring robustness and versatility for various terrains. It rolls on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, with options for wire-spoked wheels for those seeking a classic look. Tubeless tires enhance convenience in case of punctures.
Engine and Performance
The Scram 440 is powered by a newly designed 443 cc SOHC air-cooled engine, which brings improvements in power output, torque, and fuel efficiency. This engine delivers 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm and a peak torque of 34 Nm at 4,000 rpm, marking a notable increase from its predecessor, the Scram 411. To enhance the riding experience on highways, the bike now features a sixth gear along with an optimized final gear ratio for better traction and drivability. A new pull-type clutch has been introduced, reducing lever effort by 0.75 kg, which translates to less fatigue over long rides and better control.
Comfort and Practicality
With a seat height of 795 mm, the Scram 440 is designed to be accessible to a wide range of riders. An increased payload capacity of 179 kg means you can carry more without compromising on bike handling, with compatibility for a top box. The bike offers 200 mm of ground clearance, ideal for tackling rough patches or light off-road paths. The bike comes with a 15L fuel tank, promising a good range for extended trips. Its overall dimensions include a wheelbase of 1,460 mm and a length of 2,165 mm, contributing to stable handling.
Suspension and Braking, & Convenience
Suspension duties are handled by 41 mm telescopic front forks with 190 mm travel and a rear link-type monoshock with 180 mm travel, providing a balanced ride. Braking is managed by a 300 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc, both equipped with a dual-channel ABS for safety across different riding conditions.
A semi-digital instrument cluster is standard, with the option to add a Tripper navigation pod for those who crave more tech-savvy features. A USB Type-A charger is onboard, ensuring your devices stay powered up during your journeys.
Launch Details
Although Royal Enfield unveiled the Scram 440 at Motoverse 2024, the official launch of the Scram 440 is scheduled for early next year, bringing these exciting updates to riders eager for a refreshed take on the classic scrambler.
With these upgrades, the Royal Enfield Scram 440 is set to offer an enhanced riding experience while maintaining the brand’s iconic style, expected to slightly increase in price over the Scram 411. It’s poised to be a compelling choice for riders looking for a versatile and modern scrambler.
