Chennai, India – Royal Enfield has officially launched its much-anticipated Scram 440 motorcycle in India, priced at ₹2.08 lakh (ex-showroom). The motorcycle is the latest addition to Royal Enfield’s adventure-tourer lineup, catering to urban riders and enthusiasts who seek both style and performance.
Key Features and Specifications
The Scram 440 builds on the company’s successful Scram platform, combining off-road capability with everyday usability. According to BikeWale, the bike is designed for riders who enjoy exploring city streets as well as light trails, offering a versatile and robust riding experience.
The Scram 440 is powered by a 440cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, delivering approximately 30 bhp and 38 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox, ensuring smooth power delivery both on and off the road. The bike features long-travel suspension, dual-purpose tires, and a high ground clearance, making it well-suited for varied terrains.
The design retains Royal Enfield’s signature retro styling, with a minimalist approach that includes a raised front fender, round headlamp, and dual-tone fuel tank options. As reported by Financial Express, the Scram 440 also comes equipped with a semi-digital instrument cluster, dual-channel ABS, and LED lighting, ensuring both functionality and safety.
