Royal Enfield has officially launched its latest scrambler bike, the Royal Enfield Scram 440, in January 2025. This new model replaces the older Scram 411 and brings a host of improvements in engine capacity, suspension, features, and design. It’s built for those who want a capable bike for both daily city rides and weekend off-road getaways.
More Power and Better Ride
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is powered by a new 443 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It produces 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. With this bump in engine size, the Scram 440 now offers 4.5% more power and 6.5% more torque than its predecessor, making it more capable on highways and rough terrains.
Upgraded Gearbox and Suspension
One of the biggest updates is the addition of a new 6-speed gearbox, replacing the older 5-speed unit. This offers smoother gear transitions and better performance during long-distance riding. The suspension has also been reworked, with 41 mm telescopic forks at the front offering 190 mm of travel, and a rear monoshock providing 180 mm of travel, ensuring a comfortable ride across various terrains.
Built for Versatility
The bike is built on a half-duplex split cradle frame that adds strength and stability. It offers a ground clearance of 200 mm, making it suitable for mild off-roading. With a kerb weight of 196 kg and a seat height of 795 mm, the Royal Enfield Scram 440 remains accessible for most riders while still offering a commanding road presence.
Braking and Safety
The braking system includes a 300 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear. It comes with dual-channel ABS as standard, with the added feature of switchable rear ABS for improved control during off-road riding. This makes the bike a strong performer in both city traffic and rugged landscapes.
Variants and Colours
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is offered in two variants—Trail and Force. The Trail variant features spoked wheels with tube tyres and comes in Blue and Green shades. The Force variant gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres and is available in Blue, Grey, and Teal colours. Both variants cater to different rider preferences without compromising performance.
Modern Features with Classic Design
While the Scram 440 continues the retro scrambler design theme, it now includes modern updates like an LED headlamp, LED taillight, and a semi-digital instrument console. Riders can also opt for the Tripper navigation pod for turn-by-turn directions. Other practical additions include a USB charging port and Bluetooth connectivity.
Fuel Capacity and Mileage
The bike comes with a 15-liter fuel tank and offers a claimed mileage of 29.5 kmpl. This makes the Royal Enfield Scram 440 a practical choice for both urban use and longer rides, reducing the need for frequent fuel stops.
Pricing and Availability
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is priced between ₹2.08 lakh and ₹2.15 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant. Given the features and upgrades on offer, the pricing is competitive in the scrambler segment and adds good value for money for Royal Enfield fans.
Final Thoughts
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is clearly designed to bridge the gap between everyday commuting and light adventure touring. With a stronger engine, better suspension, modern features, and a bold design, it offers something for every kind of rider. Royal Enfield has taken a solid step forward with this launch, making the Scram 440 one of the most exciting new motorcycles in its lineup.
