Royal Enfield has recently launched its much-awaited Scram 411. Based on the Himalayan Adventure motorcycle, the Scram 411 has been in the news for days. There are similarities as well as differences in the design and features of both motorcycles. The Himalayan is a pure adventure, while the newly introduced Scram is basically a road-biased version of it. Here we have a detailed video of six major changes in the White Flame shade Scram 411 by the Youtube channel Dino’s Vault.
Speaking of the first difference, the Scram 411 gets 180mm of suspension travel instead of 200mm in the Himalayan ADV, and this suspension is sufficient for any kind of terrain. Next on the list is the wheel size difference, as the Scram rides on a 19-inch wire-spoked front wheel in comparison to the 21-inch Himalayan. Turning to the third important distinction, the ground clearance of the former is 200mm as opposed to 220mm of the latter.
Furthermore, the fourth significant variation is the seat height, since the new Scram features a 795mm seat height whereas the Himalayan has an 800mm seat height. This single-piece seat is even more comfortable and easy to ride for average or short-height riders. The brand has offered both bikes with dual-channel ABS. However, the difference is that in the Himalayan, you can switch the ABS, but in the Scram 411, you cannot do so.
Another important change is the headlamp. In the Himalayan headlamp, the headlamp is fixed and doesn’t turn with the handlebar, but in the Scram 411, the headlamp turns with the handlebar, which makes it more convenient. Scram 411’s instrument console is a semi-digital unit, and the tripper navigation system is an optional accessory, not a standard feature. The fit and finish of the bike are high-level and look elegant in the White Flame shade, but the most prominent thing is the top speed, which is thrilling at 130kmph.
