The unveiling of the Royal Enfield Scram 440 at MotoVerse 2024 added a fresh twist to the Scram lineup. While it draws inspiration from the outgoing Scram 411, the 440 introduces a host of updates, both mechanical and feature-oriented, to enhance its capabilities and appeal. Here’s a detailed comparison between the two models.
Engine and Chassis Upgrades
The most significant change lies in the Scram 440’s new 443cc engine, featuring a 3mm larger bore compared to the Scram 411. This upgrade results in a slight boost in performance, delivering 25.4hp and 34Nm of torque—up by 1hp and 2Nm respectively. Additionally, the Scram 440 comes equipped with a 6-speed gearbox, an improvement over the 5-speed unit in its predecessor.
Royal Enfield has also reinforced the Scram 440’s chassis, enabling the bike to support accessories like a top box—a feature missing on the 411. Enhancements to the braking system include larger pistons in the front brake caliper, offering improved stopping power, a response to user feedback.
Added Features and Design Updates
With the introduction of the Scram 440, Royal Enfield has packed in a range of modern features. One standout addition is the availability of alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, offered exclusively on the premium Force variant. Meanwhile, the base Trail variant retains the spoke wheels and tubed tyres.
Another notable upgrade is the LED headlight, now a common feature across Royal Enfield’s latest models. The Scram 440 also introduces five new color schemes, giving it a refreshed aesthetic appeal. To further enhance its off-road credentials, the bike now comes with switchable ABS—a feature absent in the 411.
Pricing and Launch Timeline
The Scram 440 is expected to carry a marginal price increase over the Scram 411, which is currently priced between ₹2.06 lakh and ₹2.12 lakh (ex-showroom). With its launch set for January 2025, it will join Royal Enfield’s expanding portfolio, including the much-anticipated Classic 650 Twin.
Verdict
While the Scram 411 remains a solid option rooted in the capable Himalayan platform, the Scram 440 takes things a step further with enhanced performance, added features, and improved practicality. These updates make it a compelling choice for riders seeking a versatile and feature-rich machine for both city rides and adventurous trails.
