Royal Enfield Scram 440 sales temporarily suspended over faulty engine component

Royal Enfield has temporary stopped sales for its new Scram 440 motorcycle, just a few weeks after launch. The Royal Enfield Scram 440 was launched in November last year, priced from ₹2.08 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards. But sales only began in January this year. However, the bike has now been pulled off the shelves after what appears to be a faulty component in the engine.

The Royal Enfield Scram 440 was one of the major new launches from the brand at Motoverse 2024, its annual motorcycle festival. The bike is an evolved version of the Scram 411, using the same long-stroke motor, albeit in a bored-out avatar. The new 443 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled mill churns out 24.6 bhp and 34 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike is also available with alloy wheels this time, apart from the new colour options. The Scram 440 was seen as the brand’s entry tool into the adventure space, especially with the Himalayan moving up in displacement and pricing.
