Royal Enfield Scram 411
Today Royal Enfield revealed the Scram 411 and despite them calling it an all-new model, it is essentially a Scrambler version of the Himalayan.
Royal Enfield are dubbing it an ‘Adventure-Crossover’, but, it’s a Scrambler… Actually, let’s not put it in a box, it will be whatever you make of it….
The two models share the same engine and similar under-pinnings but the Scram runs a 19-inch front in place of the Himalayan’s seriously off-road friendly 21-inch hoop at the pointy end.
With only 10 mm less suspension travel than the Himalayan, and only 20 mm less ground clearance, the Scram should still be a willing performer off road. 200 mm of ground clearance and 180-190 mm of suspension travel is still very generous and should ensure the Scram is plenty capable on the rough stuff.
Scram 411 share the Himalayan’s 15-litre fuel capacity and 24 horsepower engine. The brakes appear to be the same also.
So what we have in the Scram 411 is a more street-modern styled version of the Himalayan, that trades a small amount of the Himalayan’s off-road performance for better on-road handling thanks to that smaller front rim.
The new Scram 411 is available in seven colourways across three variants. The Scram 411 in Graphite Yellow, Graphite Red and Graphite Blue, come with grey tanks and distinct tank badges and matching tyre rim tapes. The Skyline Blue and Blazing Black have distinct colour tanks with the identifiable Royal Enfield stripes and matching mud guards. The top-end variant, in two colourways – White Flame and Silver Spirit – runs dual tank colours, with unique and fun graphics.
If judged against the success of the Himalayan you have to expect this to be another winner for Royal Enfield in our market. The first examples of the Scram 411 arrive in Australia from mid-June 2022. The Himalayan sells from $8390, but the Scram undercuts that to come in at $7090 for the base variant, $7190 for the mid and $7290 for the premium model. Royal Enfield are inviting interested customers to book their test rides now.
