The Royal Enfield Scram 440 stands out as a true game-changer. Launched in January 2025 as the successor to the beloved Scram 411, this 443cc beast has quickly captured the hearts of riders seeking versatility without compromise.
As we dive into 2025, with its updated pricing and real-world performance data, discover why this scrambler is the go-to choice for adventure enthusiasts in India and beyond.
Royal Enfield’s commitment to evolving its lineup shines through in the Scram 440. Unveiled at the Motoverse 2024 event, it hit showrooms on January 22, 2025, replacing the Scram 411 with meaningful upgrades.
Priced competitively at an ex-showroom starting point of Rs 2.08 lakh for the Trail variant, it offers exceptional value in the sub-250cc adventure segment. By October 2025, following a GST adjustment, prices have seen a modest hike now ranging from Rs 2.23 lakh to Rs 2.31 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi yet it remains an accessible entry into premium scrambler territory.
This strategic pricing keeps it ahead of rivals like the Triumph Scrambler 400X and Yezdi Scrambler, appealing to both new riders and seasoned explorers.
Power and Performance
At the core of the Royal Enfield Scram 440 is its all-new Long Stroke 443cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine. An upgrade from the 411cc unit, it achieves this displacement via a 3mm bore increase, delivering 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm and a torquey 34 Nm at 4,000 rpm. That’s a noticeable bump from the 411’s 24.3 bhp and 32 Nm, translating to smoother acceleration and better mid-range punch.
Paired with a slick six-speed gearbox up from five gears, the Scram 440 cruises effortlessly at highway speeds of 100-110 km/h. The slip-and-assist clutch reduces lever effort by 20%, making city shifts less fatiguing. Real-world testing in 2025 reveals a top speed of around 130 km/h, with 0-60 km/h in under 5 seconds, ideal for overtaking on NH48 or blasting through Mumbai traffic.
Fuel efficiency hovers at 29-30 kmpl in mixed conditions, thanks to optimized mapping and a 15-litre tank that promises 400+ km between fills. Riders report minimal vibrations post-4,000 rpm, a refinement over the 411’s buzzier nature. In off-road scenarios, the low-end torque shines, crawling up gravel paths with ease.
Design and Features
The Royal Enfield Scram 440’s design is a masterclass in neo-retro aesthetics minimalist yet purposeful. Its upright stance, with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, exudes scrambler swagger. The round LED headlamp, new for 2025, casts a bright beam for night rides, flanked by a removable cowl for that classic look. The boxy 15-litre fuel tank, emblazoned with the RE logo, flows into a stepped seat that’s supportive for solo or pillion use.
Choose from five colors: Trail Green and Blue for the base Trail variant (spoked wheels with tube tyres), or the upscale Force Teal, Grey, and Blue on alloys with tubeless tyres for puncture-proof convenience. The Force variant, at Rs 2.15 lakh pre-hike (now Rs 2.31 lakh), adds practicality without fluff.
Features are thoughtfully curated for 2025 riders. Switchable dual-channel ABS lets you disable the rear for dirt drifts, a long-requested upgrade. Braking duties fall to a 300mm front disc and 240mm rear, with larger pistons for progressive bite. Suspension a 41mm telescopic fork with 190mm travel upfront and monoshock rear (180mm) handles urban bumps and light trails adeptly.
The semi-digital console, borrowed from the Hunter 350, displays speed, fuel, and odometer at a glance. Add the optional Tripper Pod for Bluetooth navigation, call alerts, and RE app integration seamless for Google Maps junkies. Halogen indicators and a USB charger round out the essentials, keeping things analog where it counts.
Build quality has leaped forward, with premium paint finishes and tighter panel gaps. Ground clearance of 200mm and dual-purpose CEAT or MRF tyres ensure it scrambles over obstacles up to 150mm deep. In essence, the Scram 440 is designed for discovery ready for spontaneous detours or planned expeditions.
