Royal enfield scram

Just a few days ago, Eicher Motors Limited is pursuing worldwide dominance in the middleweight motorcycle segment. The Indian parent company of Royal Enfield sells more than 600,000 motorcycles a year. To put this in perspective, the entire U.S. motorcycle market moved around 550,000 units last year, for all brands combined. Royal Enfield commands a whopping 94 percent market share in 250cc to 750cc motorcycles in India, and the new Scram 411 fits solidly right in the middle.

It then identified a gap in market availability of middleweight dual-sport bikes, so it decided to jump into the scrambler game. Maintaining the lightweight, easy to work on, low seat height, and ample ground clearance and suspension travel first introduced on the Himalayan, the Scram trims all pretensions of ADV and fires a bullseye shot at Scrambler styling. TL: DR — We really dig it. Royal Enfield North America (RENA) is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The location gives the company a better understanding of the American consumer, and is where we started our two-day, 400-mile roundtrip ride to the scenic, hilly and unpopulated Driftless region of Southwest Wisconsin.

It also has t...

1 of 4 Spy shots have emerged from southern Europe showing a new liquid-cooled 450 scrambler in the works from Royal Enfield. Believed to be called the Scram 450, the back to basics naked follows Although a 450 single won’t be setting any speed records and is unlikely to produce any more than 44bhp, it would be the only liquid-cooled engine in the range – slotting in nicely between the current Exactly when we might see the Scram in dealers remains to be seen, but from the shots seen here it looks to be a while away – fitted with no clocks and bulky handlebar clamps that appear to be far from a final design. In fact, the final position of the upright bars could still yet to be determined. Sticking with the front end, the mystery naked also gets a set of non-adjustable conventional front forks with a single LED headlight wedged between the two blacked-out legs – something first seen on an Enfield with the With modest power on tap, there’s only a single front disc and two-piston caliper up front, and the new engine is held in place by a blacked-out tubular chassis – with a small bash plate at the base and chunky tyres to help with the scrambler aesthetic. Much like the rally machine seen before it, the rear shock protrudes from the front of the slim swingarm and is mounted up beneath the slim one-piece rider and pillion seat. This looks to be narrow and should give even shorter riders a comfortable flat footing. Elsewhere, the swing arm is partially covered on the right-hand ...

Royal Enfield Welcomes SCRAM 411 to North America Adventure tourer meets street scrambler with the fun and versatile all-new 2023 Royal Enfield Scram 411 Milwaukee, WI – Royal Enfield, the global leader in midsize motorcycles (250-750cc), is proud to welcome the all-new 2023 Scram 411 to North America. Adventure-touring meets the accessibility and playfulness of a classic scrambler with Royal Enfield’s first ADV crossover. Based on the globally popular Himalayan motorcycle, the Scram 411 brings a modern, urban twist to this proven platform, while maintaining its adventure DNA. The Scram 411 is an engaging, accessible and capable street scrambler, ideal for city riding, but its competent rough-roading capabilities mean the fun doesn’t stop when the pavement ends. From the city scape to a rural escape, the Royal Enfield Scram 411 can take you there. Photo courtesy Royal Enfield North America. Built upon Royal Enfield’s venerable 411cc single-cylinder engine platform and the Harris Performance-developed chassis, the Scram 411 combines spirited agility on the street with the capability to tackle rugged roads. A 19-inch front wheel and streamlined styling characterize the appearance of the all-new Scram 411 motorcycle, which delivers a lighter, nimbler, and more street-smart package tuned for urban life. With a 19-inch front wheel, one-piece seat and distinctive styling, the Scram 411 (pictured here in White Flame) is the latest addition to Royal Enfield’s North American family...

If you want an exciting but inexpensive motorcycle with a warranty these days, your first and best bet is to head over to your local Royal Enfield dealer. The Indian-built lineup is scant, and the bikes don’t offer top-of-the-market options, but they are really good bikes for the money, and that’s what’s important. To keep its bikes inexpensive, the company has to do as much parts bin engineering as it can, and the new Scram 411 is perfect evidence of that. Based on the company’s Himalayan adventure bike, which has been on the market since 2016, the new Scram uses the same steel tube frame and engine. That engine is a solid single-cylinder 411cc unit that makes 24.3 horsepower and 23.6 lb-ft of torque, which is funneled through a simple five-speed gearbox. It’s a cheap and cheerful combo that should run a good long while if you take care of it. The fuel tank, rear wheel, brakes, most of the suspension, and exhaust are also common between Himalayan and Scram. So what is different? Well, for starters, the Scram ditches the tall dorky windscreen in favor of a little headlight fairing, and downsizes to a 19-inch front wheel for street riding favor. Gone are the Himalayan’s tank protection bars-slash-jerry can holders, which have been replaced by small aero blades that RE is calling simply “side panels”. Similarly the fenders and the seat have been redesigned for a more classically urban scrambler look. The Scram still gets a dual sport tire, so it’s not ready to ditch the dirt...

Royal Enfield is bringing the Himalayan’s street-oriented sibling to the United States. It’s called the Scram 411, and this stripped-down variation of Royal Enfield’s small ADV is $200 cheaper than the $5,299 Himalayan. This "ADV crossover" has a more streetable wheelset, but retains decent ground clearance from the Himalayan. Royal Enfield photo. Royal Enfield describes the Scram 411 as “adventure tourer meets street scrambler” or “an ADV crossover… with an urban twist.” Fans of the Himalayan will notice that this is basically the same bike with different bodywork and a smaller front wheel. Creating new models by making a few changes to existing models is one way Royal Enfield is keeping its promise to introduce multiple new motorcycles over the next year as part of its ambition to become the world leader in the 350cc to 750 cc range. Three of the color options are Graphite with yellow, red, or blue side panels. Royal Enfield photo. The Scram 411 gets Royal Enfield’s foot in the door of the popular scrambler segment, and it is aimed at riders seeking a simple, affordable all-rounder with enough versatility to tackle the occasional fire road or weekend trip. “Most scrambler motorcycles focus only on aesthetics and looks,” says Mark Wells, Chief of Design at Royal Enfield. “When we began work on the Scram 411, we were determined to create a motorcycle that would be distinct in design and purpose, and bring the best of rough-road capability to urban riding… the Scram 411 is ...
