There are a whole lot of issues you’ll be able to say about Royal Enfield in 2025, and one in every of them is that you just would possibly probably be capable to set your watch by its launches. OK, I may be exaggerating ever so barely. However my level is, if it has been a few months with out information of a brand new Enfield, simply wait a minute or two and it will arrive.
Working example: the all-new Royal Enfield Scram 440, which simply launched in India after months of rumors.
The earlier Scram 411 was constructed on the bones of the unique Himalayan, so I can already hear you asking if that is the case this time round. And the reply is, it would not seem like it from the specs.
Right here, have a look.
Discover something fascinating? Whereas the New Himalayan (the 450cc one which RideApart Government Editor Jonathon Klein can’t stop thinking about ever since he rode one in 2024) is liquid-cooled, the Scram 440 is not. That is the very first thing that stood out to me, after which I, in fact, seemed nearer.
The stroke on the Scram 440 is precisely the identical as the Scram 411, and is barely longer than the 81.5mm discovered on the Himalayan 450. The compression ratio additionally stays the identical, at 9.5 to at least one. The Scram 440 will get a six-speed gearbox as a substitute of the five-speed one discovered on the Scram 411, however the brakes seem like precisely the identical.
Different comparisons, now that now we have all of the official specs, are additionally fairly comparable between the Scram 440 and the Scram 411, no less than on paper. To be completely clear, we have not ridden the Scram 440 but, so we won’t supply any studies about driving experiences.
However the seat peak is similar; the torque and horsepower solely go up a really small quantity (and are not very near the Himmy 450’s numbers); the bottom clearance is similar; the wheelbase is simply longer by a grand complete of 5 total millimeters.
The Scram 440 will get some cool colours and graphics, in addition to a selection between spokes or alloy wheels (19-inch entrance and 17-inch rear, which is similar because the Scram 411). You do get LED lighting, which wasn’t commonplace on the Scram 411. The show is a digital-analogue spherical pod that Enfield makes use of on lots of its different present fashions, with the choice so as to add a Tripper Pod should you actually need.
In India, the Scram is obtainable in two variants: Pressure (alloy wheels) or Path (spoked wheels), each with tubeless tires. The Path pricing begins at ₹ 2,08,000 (about US $2,406 on the time of writing), whereas the Pressure pricing begins at ₹ 2,15,000 (about US $2,487) ex-showroom in Chennai. Pricing varies by area inside India, and it is under no circumstances clear how pricing could differ in different markets when it rolls out elsewhere.
Which brings me to a different good level to wrap your thoughts round. For these unfamiliar with how Royal Enfield does issues. Lately, most of its bikes are likely to launch in India first, after which roll out to different geographic areas over the approaching months. So, that often signifies that whereas there is not any official details about the Scram 440 for different markets proper now (together with the US), it is greater than doubtless that each one it’s good to do is wait a bit.
The practice will roll into your station ultimately!
