Royal Enfield Scram 440: Engine

The most notable change on the successor to the Scram 440 is the bigger 443 cc engine. With this new LS 440 powertrain, the Scram 440 now produces more power and torque as compared to the Scram 411. 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.

Besides the bump in engine size, the transmission 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.

Royal Enfield Scram 440: Specs

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 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 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 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 wheels on offer with the bike are spoked but can be upgraded to alloys as well. The front gets a 19-inch wheel and at the rear is a 17-inch wheel with dual-purpose tyres. The seat height measures 200 mm which is the same as before. The Scram 440's feature list will include a Type-A USB charger and the same digital-analogue cluster seen on the older model. A Tripper Pod for navigation is available as an optional add-on as well.
