| Overview Manual | — | The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is a practical, road-friendly scrambler built to blend everyday usability with light off-road capability. At its core is a refined 443 cc long-stroke single-cylinder engine that produces about **25–25.7 bhp** and **34 Nm of torque**, routed through a six-speed gearbox that improves highway manners and keeps city commuting relaxed. These mechanical updates give the Scram 440 stronger mid-range performance and smoother NVH compared with the older 411-series engine. Royal Enfield has kept the bike’s riding position upright and confidence-inspiring, with a chassis and suspension setup tuned for mixed-surface use rather than hardcore trail work. The Scram’s 15-litre tank, manageable ergonomics and 196 kg kerb weight make it easy to live with daily while still comfortable for weekend rides. It uses a six-speed gearbox and, depending on the variant, offers features such as tubeless alloy wheels, switchable ABS and improved brakes that lift real-world usability. On the tech front, the Scram 440 is positioned as a modern, rider-friendly machine: Royal Enfield says it benefits from improved refinement and convenience features compared with earlier small-capacity models, and some variants include a semi-digital / circular display and smartphone connectivity. The model also benefits from better clutch feel and reduced heat, addressing common user complaints of earlier small-capacity REs. For navigation and connectivity lovers, Royal Enfield’s recent product communications highlight improved instrumentation and rider aids on its 440-series models. Price and market positioning make the Scram 440 attractive to buyers seeking characterful, affordable scrambler style without the complexity or cost of premium rivals. When launched it undercut many European competitors on price, with base variants starting around **₹2.08–2.23 lakh (ex-showroom)** in India depending on the source and trim — making it a strong value pick in the mid-capacity segment. In short, the Scram 440 is best for riders who want a versatile everyday motorcycle with enough capability for gravel roads and weekend escapes, combined with Royal Enfield’s signature character and simpler maintenance. It isn’t the most powerful or the lightest option in the segment, nor does it offer advanced electronics like traction control, but it wins on personality, practicality and price — a sensible choice if you want a comfortable, easygoing scrambler that’s built for real-world use rather than lap-time performance. |
