The Royal Enfield Scram 440 came as a welcome surprise when it made its debut at the company’s annual riding festival - MotoVerse 2024. While the Scram 440 is based on the outgoing Scram 411, there are some noticeable differences between the two.

Scram 411 vs 440 engine, chassis differences

The biggest change on the Scram 440 is its bigger 443cc motor, achieved by a 3mm larger bore. Peak output figures have risen to 25.4hp and 34Nm (up by 1hp and 2Nm). Royal Enfield has also bestowed this motor with an additional cog in its gearbox, which is now a 6-speed unit. 

Strengthening the frame is another thing that Royal Enfield has done on the Scram 440, which is why the bike can be equipped with a top box, unlike the outgoing 411. Another change, which has stemmed from customer feedback, is the usage of larger pistons in the front brake, which RE says increases the stopping power on offer. 

 

The rest of the Scram 440 is pretty similar to the 411, which is no bad thing as the bike can trace its roots to the original Himalayan 411 - a very capable ADV. 

Scram 411 vs 440 additional features

With the mechanical overhaul that the Scram 411 has experienced to morph into the Scram 440, Royal Enfield has also offered more features on the new bike. The most noticeable one of those comes in the form of alloy wheels permitting the use of tubeless tyres, available only on the top Force variant (the base Trail variant still runs on spoke rims shod with tubed tyres). 

 

The other visual change comes in the form of an LED headlight on the Scram 440, which is the same unit as seen on almost all other Royal Enfields on sale today. The final visual change on the Scram 440 comes in the form of five new colour schemes. RE has also equipped the Scram 440 with switchable ABS, which was something customers have been asking for on the 411. 

Scram 411 vs 440 price difference

Priced between Rs 2.06 lakh and Rs 2.12 lakh, we expect the Scram 440 to be priced in the same ballpark, perhaps with a small increase to account for all the changes. January 2025 is when Royal Enfield will launch the Scram 440 will be launched, which is around the same time as the new Classic 650 Twin.
