Engine and Performance
The Scram 440 is powered by the new LS440 engine, which boasts a displacement of 443 cc—achieved through a 3 mm increase in bore size. This single-cylinder, air-and-oil-cooled engine delivers an impressive 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, marking a 4.5% increase in power and a 6.5% rise in torque compared to its predecessor.
A six-speed gearbox with a revised final gear ratio ensures smoother highway cruising and better traction. The addition of a pull-type clutch reduces lever effort by 0.75 kg, making it ideal for long journeys or challenging terrains.
Design and Build
While staying true to its Himalayan 411-inspired roots, the Scram 440 introduces several modern features. It retains the robust half-duplex split cradle frame, providing excellent stability and durability.
A new LED headlamp enhances visibility, and the semi-digital instrument cluster offers the option for Royal Enfield’s Tripper navigation system, catering to tech-savvy riders.
Weighing in at 196 kg, with a 1,460 mm wheelbase and a seat height of 795 mm, the Scram 440 is both sturdy and rider-friendly. Additionally, the 200 mm ground clearance ensures it can tackle rough trails with ease.
Suspension and Wheels
Built for adventure, the Scram 440 features 41 mm telescopic front forks offering 190 mm of travel and a link-type monoshock at the rear with 180 mm travel, ensuring a smooth ride even on bumpy roads.
The Force variant includes 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres for added durability, while the Trail variant opts for spoked wheels with tubed tyres, catering to off-road enthusiasts.

Royal Enfield has made the Scram 440 highly practical for long journeys and everyday use. It includes a USB Type-A charging port to keep your devices powered and a robust braking system with 300 mm hydraulic front discs and 240 mm rear discs, complemented by dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety.
The motorcycle also offers switchable ABS, making it versatile for on-road and off-road conditions. With a payload capacity of 179 kg, compatibility with a top box, and a host of thoughtful features, the Scram 440 is a dependable companion for adventure seekers.
