Royal Enfield Scram 440 vs Rivals

  1. Triumph Scrambler 400X (₹2.63 lakh):
    • More premium but ₹48,000 costlier.
    • Liquid-cooled engine, but lower torque (37.5 Nm).
  2. Yezdi Scrambler (₹2.12 lakh):
    • Competitive pricing but lacks 6th gear and modern LED lighting.
  3. Himalayan 450 (₹2.85 lakh):
    • Hardcore ADV with 452cc liquid-cooled engine but heavier (196kg).

Why Did Royal Enfield Discontinue the Scram 411?

The Scram 411 was phased out due to:

  • Outdated 411cc engine with 24.3 bhp.
  • 5-speed gearbox limiting highway performance.
  • Rising competition from modern scramblers.

The Scram 440 addresses these flaws with a 6-speed gearbox25% more torque, and switchable ABS, making it a worthy successor at just ₹2,000 extra.

Is the Scram 440 Worth It?

The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is a compelling upgrade for riders seeking a versatile scrambler under ₹2.5 lakh (on-road). With its modern engine, variant-specific hardware, and aggressive pricing, it outperforms the Scram 411 and challenges rivals like the Triumph Scrambler 400X. For urban riders, the Force variant is a value-for-money pick, while the Trail variant caters to weekend adventurers.
