Motorcycle specifications Royal-Enfield411 Scram 2023 He comes down from the mountain...

The trail world has evolved so much over the last 10 years that the range is overwhelming. From the most modest to the totally unreasonable, there's something for everyone: trail GT, sport trail, hyper-sport trail, urban, vintage, adventurous, fashion, light, heavy, from 15 to 170 hp. It's wild! With Ducati, BMW or KTM, you can have some crazy machines with the Multistrada V4, the S 1000 XR or the Super Adventure 1290 S.

And then there's the much more discreet Royal-Enfield. Until now, its range has been limited to a single model, theHimalayan. A motorcycle designed to discover the roads conquered by nature, the kind that stick leaves up your nose. The Indian manufacturer is now using it as the basis for its Scram 411.

The Scram is a more urban version of theHimalayan, more versatile, a sort of scrambler mixed with crossover. Not really sexy, rather intrepid, a little provocative, but above all proud to attract curiosity. It would be too much of a challenge to categorize it. So let's say she's a mountain girl who's come to town with her sportswear, her little heart and her twinkling eyes.

As a result, she's taken off most of her trekking gear. Gone are the upper tubular protectors, the pack carrier, the windshield and the upper front half-mudguard.
The overall look has also been remodeled, with a redesigned rear mudguard, a one-piece curved seat, small trapezoidal scoops and a choice of versified decals.

Spoked wheels are retained, but with a slight change: different tires and a smaller front wheel, down from 21 to 19 inches. With a shorter wheelbase, new geometry, lower handlebars and significantly reduced weight (14 kilos), the Scram offers a slightly more dynamic riding experience.
But it won't be a brawler in the streets. The motorization remains modest, with exactly the same mill as on the mountain trail.

it 's a gentle 411 cm3 single-cylinder, which demands nothing more than an easy ride and a supple glove. No aggressiveness to be feared with its 24 hp, all released at 6,500 rpm. It's martyr-like power for the angry - and it's important to judge it with the modesty of a bike that's not looking for tension or demonstration. Torque is equally soothing, with 3.2 mkg at 4,500 rpm. The character and mellifluousness of a single-cylinder requires greater emphasis here.

Most of the chassis components are also taken from the Himalyan. Unsurprisingly, the job falls to the tubular steel frame, 41 mm fork protected by gussets, single-disc brakes per wheel and CEAT mixed tires. An Indian brand better known for its agricultural wraps.
The fuel tank holds 15 liters, and the steering aids are limited to... ABS.
While the hoof is still there to cope with certain unevenness, the ground clearance is slightly lower. 20 mm have been lost, and 5 mm on the seat side, so it won't make much difference whether you're 800 or 795 mm off the ground, which is pretty low for a trail bike. The Scram, on the other hand, retains substantial suspension travel, with 190 mm at the front and 180 mm at the rear.

Above the headlight cladding, which adds a little more personality, the dashboard is also taken from the Scram's adventurous cousin. The sober instrumentation features a needle-type tachometer, a digital window for trips, fuel and other info, and an offset dial for the "Tripper" system. This is a simplified R.E. navigation module, based on synchronization with a smartphone.

The Scram 411 is a "fashion and city" approach for Royal-Enfield, less classic than its other productions. The bike is scheduled for release in May, at an undisclosed price. Most likely between 5,000 and 5,500 euros, that's a 400 at the price of a top-of-the-range 125. With an engine of limited excitement...
