Beyond the engine, Royal Enfield has introduced several upgrades aimed at improving the bike’s overall performance and usability. It now features a lighter clutch while the braking system has also been improved and now features switchable dual-channel ABS. Moreover, it now also offers alloy wheels with tubeless tyres while the rear subframe is now stiffer, aimed at providing better stability and handling. The bike also sees minor dimensional adjustments, with a 5 mm increase in wheelbase, length, and height and now gets a top box as an optional accessory.
Visually, the Scram 440 retains the rugged appeal of its predecessor but with a touch of modernity. A redesigned headlamp cluster gives it a more premium look, while the tail light and turn indicators have been refreshed to appear more sleek. The fuel tank now sports bold ‘440’ graphics, replacing the ‘411’ branding of the outgoing model. And lastly, there are new colour options on offer as well.
