Royal Enfield Scram 450

Good news for scrambler lovers! In yet another recent test, we not only caught the Himalayan 450 out on a test run, but also, the first glimpse of the upcoming Scram 450.

The Scram 450 looks more compact and scrambler-styled than its ADV variant. The visual profile is viably more compact thanks to the new, and smaller, 17-inch alloy wheels, tucked headlight, braceless fuel tank, single seat design and a missing tail rack. Theoretically, the alloys alone should contribute to a shorter wheelbase, reduction in weight and offer a nimbler ride (much like the Scram 411’s proposition). Another change is the front fork. While the Himalayan 450 gets a USD fork, the Scram 450 was seen wearing a conventional telescopic unit. This suggests, this one will be built to a cost. That said, both prototypes feature a monoshock at the rear.

Differentiating factors aside, the two bikes share the same underpinnings. The Himalayan 450’s liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that’s likely to make around 40PS and 40Nm will also power the Scram 450, and likely be offered in a similar state of tune as well. That said, the weight difference should offer a different feel, just as we have seen on the Himalayan and Scram 411. 

Prices likely to be around Rs 2.6 Lakh (ex-showroom before taxes)
