Get, Set, Scram: Royal Enfield unveils more powerful Scram 440

Hold on to your helmets. The Scram is back, and it’s ready to rumble. Royal Enfield just pulled the covers off the all-new Scram 440, and it’s packing more tweaks and adjustments than ever before. Based on feedback from the loyal fans of the previous-gen Scram, the company’s taken a good hard look at what worked, what didn’t, and what needed a little extra grunt.

As for the big question — how much will it cost? Well, the price reveal is set for January 2025. Here’s all you need to know about the new Scram 440. 

Royal Enfield Scram 440: What’s new?

The Scram 440 keeps the same chassis but is now powered by a 443 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, delivering 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Royal Enfield claims that, compared to the Scram 411, power is up by 4.5 per cent and peak torque by 6.5 per cent. With a 3 mm bore increase, torque should be more accessible at low revs, making initial acceleration more responsive. The new 6-speed gearbox replaces the 5-speed unit and features a lighter clutch.

Another significant update is the larger piston for the 300 mm front disc brake, which greatly enhances its stopping power and overall brake system. Adventure seekers will be pleased to know that the Scram 440 now comes with tubeless tyres and alloy wheels, a feature not available in the 411 version. For the purists, the Scram 440 still offers traditional tube tyres with spoke wheels. The motorcycle is available in two variants: Trail and Force, with the latter featuring tubeless alloy wheels.

Say goodbye to the old halogen headlight — Royal Enfield has swapped it for a much brighter, much more modern LED light for better illumination. The tail lamp? Yep, that’s also LED now, but the indicators are still bulbs.

As for the dashboard, the Scram 440 sports a semi-analogue instrument cluster, but if you’re all about tech, you can add the Google Maps-based Tripper pod for turn-by-turn navigation. As we are all attached to our devices, it comes with a USB charging port.
