Royal Enfield unveils the Scram 440. Here's all you need to know about the new scrambler
Royal Enfield has unveiled its updated Scram 440, the successor to the Scram 411 motorbike. The new bike has gotten a chunky upgrade with the addition of a new engine along with modern features. The Scram 440 was displayed at Royal Enfield's annual motorcycling festival called Motoverse. Key highlights from what else was revealed about the Scram 440 are as given below:
The most important change on the successor to the Scram 411 is the bigger 443 cc engine. The Scram 440 gets a power and torque increase all thanks to this new LS 440 powertrain. The new engine gets a 4.5 per cent power increase and now makes 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm. The peak torque has also increased by 6.5 per cent and is now 34 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The new unit also features a more refined valvetrain which according to RE will reduce noise from the engine.
Not just this, the transmission now also gets a 6th gear to drop the revs lower on the highways leading to lesser vibrations and better fuel efficiency. The final drive ratio has been increased for better traceability as well. There is also a new pull-type clutch for improved durability and reduction of lever effort by a claimed 0.75 kg.
The Scram 440, as highlighted by Royal Enfield is derived from an adventure bike and not a roadster. This means the bike has a better off-roadability. The ground clearance of the two-wheeler is 200 mm. The front suspension duties are fulfilled by 43 mm telescopic forks with 190 mm travel and at the rear is a monoshock with linkage allowing 180 mm of travel. It gets a ‘Half-Duplex Split Cradle’ frame with a wheelbase of 1,460 mm.
The new Royal Enfield Scram 440 retains the chassis borrowed from the Himalayan 411 in the predecessor Scram 411. The rear subframe has been updated and is now made of new steel for improved rigidity and more load-bearing properties.
The brakes have also been improved with an upgraded 300 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc. The motorbike also gets switchable ABS as part of the package. The Scram 440 weighs in at 187 kg without fuel which is a 2 kg increase over its predecessor. A centre stand is now provided as a fixture.
The RE Scram 440 is being offered in a number of new colours including a Force Blue, a Force Teal, a Force Grey, a Trail Green and a Trail Blue. The new colours add a touch of freshness and style to the overall bike. The styling of the Scram 440 remains the same except for the upgrades in the form of the new LED headlamp and indicators for improved visibility.
