Royal Enfield scram 440 : Hey there, adventure enthusiasts! Royal Enfield has officially launched the Royal Enfield Scram 440 in India, marking its entry into the competitive ADV crossover motorcycle segment. With two variants—Trail and Force—the Scram 440 replaces the Scram 411 in Royal Enfield’s portfolio, promising enhanced performance, a more powerful engine, and a plethora of adventure-ready features.
Design and Pricing
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 retains much of its styling cues from the Scram 411 while incorporating key upgrades. Built on the same chassis, it sees slight increases in dimensions and weight, offering a more robust build. The Trail variant is available in Blue and Green, while the Force variant adds a Teal shade to its lineup.
Pricing:
- Trail Variant: Rs 2,08,000 (ex-showroom)
- Force Variant: Rs 2,15,000 (ex-showroom)
These prices are marginally higher—by Rs 2,000-3,000—compared to the outgoing Scram 411.
Feature Upgrades
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is packed with adventure-specific features to enhance its all-terrain capabilities. Some key highlights include:
- New LED Headlamp: Improved visibility for night rides.
- Digital-Analogue Cluster: Optional Tripper navigation for seamless travel.
- 15-Liter Fuel Tank: Extended rides without frequent refueling.
- Wheels:
- Trail Variant: Tubed spoke wheels with tube tires.
- Force Variant: 19/17-inch tubeless alloy wheels.
- Switchable ABS: Balanced ergonomics for better control.
With a seat height of 795mm and 200mm ground clearance, the Scram 440 offers a rider-friendly setup for both off-road and urban environments. It also includes a 10 kg payload capacity for top boxes, making it practical for touring.
Upgraded 443cc Engine
At its heart, the Royal Enfield Scram 440 is powered by a 443cc air-and-oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, delivering 25.4 hp at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, a significant improvement over the 5-speed unit on the Scram 411. This new setup ensures better performance, improved NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) levels, and smoother highway cruising.
Enhanced Braking and Suspension
Braking duties are handled by a 300mm front disc with a larger piston caliper for improved responsiveness and a 240mm rear disc, complemented by switchable ABS. The suspension system, borrowed from the Scram 411, features:
- Telescopic Front Shocks: 190mm travel for tackling rough terrain.
- Rear Monoshock: 180mm travel for balanced handling.
