Royal Enfield SCRAM 411 - Why it PUNCHES ABOVE Its Weight 

Is it just a striped down Himalayan with a smaller front wheel 🤔 Or is it something more? let us know what you think below.

I've been riding since 1963. (Some gaps) the most fun has been the bsckroad riding. I'd buy one of these Enfields in a minute if I had a place to ride. I'm now a city boy weighted down with age.

I think its a winner, would really like one as a second bike to take the odd lite green lane/trail ride, i like the design and style and reliability seems really good, ive read the finish can be a little sub japan standards but they are charming, a 650cc with 40+ bhp would be class changer

I think they have made a great new addition to the range lots of fun, lots of charm

Hello there! New subscriber here from Bengal, India. Took a test ride today in my town. Whole lot of fun. Much better handler than the Himalayan per se. Seems to be built like a tank. I booked it. Am sure the UK iteration will have better gizmos than its Indian cousin.

Seems a very nice addition to the brand. Can't wait to test ride one of these here in Brazil!

A competitor for my Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 which is loads of fun and pretty versatile. 401 wins on pace and style imho but 411 has it on economy and reliability.

This might well be my next and probably last bike as at my age I don't really need to have a bike that will exceed 150 mph 😐

I rather like the look of the Scram 411. It would be a good bike for Thailand as it has good low-down torque. Traffic moves slowly here. But I'd wager my 390 would easily see it off at the lights. I like the look of it, though. This channel is a good find.

I have a 500 classic and a 650 intercepter if re put the 650 engine in the scram I would have one most probably a lot more would as well.

Great video, well put together and I agree with your comments regarding screen and rack which would be welcome additions - I think.

Still needs ability to take paniers because it should be capable of light adventure touring!

The scram is fine as it is. Less adv and more road give a balance that I would prefer. Nice review tho.

I'm a fan of retro's, scramblers and flattrackers, so rather this than an adventure sports. But yes, it does just look like a himalayan with a few bits taken off. I've seen people turn the himalayan into scramblers and RE could have done a far better job with a little bit more effort. It isn't retro enough for me....

I think this is a great invention from RE!🔥🔥 This single cylinder 411 engine is perfect for riding Adv or cruising! Its the perfect do-all motorcycle that nobody has given us!

In India it's being called SCAM 411 ,Its just a stripped out Himalayan with smaller front wheel and missing features like switchable abs or center stand,with this being 95% Himalayan it comes with all the disadvantages of the latter and nothing new to make up for them.

I guess the idea behind this launch is to keep this platform when the current Himalayan makes way for the all new liquid cooled single cylinder 450 which would be launched in 2023.. 40 bhp, USD forks, nice fuel tank design etc, all new ground up.. from the spy pics it looks interesting..

Its fine like it is. I’m wondering now if I might rather have the scram over my himalayan?

RE really needs a liter 100hp water cooled twin (and a 750/500 variant) to base a new series of bikes on. Carry over the balance shaft and make them dead smooth, Sport Street, Sport Tour and ADV. And get a DCT in the works. There is a ton of good reasons Honda went this way. They could make it their standard old school bolt upright configuration to keep the looks.

It will be interesting to see what the price of these will be in the UK. I’d have one as a second bike.

As fuel prices rise and more speed restrictions gain support for UK roads (cleaner air being the excuse), there seems to be a new market for smaller cc'd commuter and weekend bikes. I'd definitely get one of these over the original Himalayan, reminds me a bit of my old XT500.

The weight loss equates roughly to the loss of the main stand. Really liked the dash on the Himalayan, but that's gone in favour of one that looks like it came from a Kawasaki.

Would be good if it came in around £3500 but you can pretty much guarantee it'll come in around £4500 ~£4700

To me it looks like they got this one right. Don't change a thing.

I think they have plans to incorporate the 650 twin into the adventure bike you were referring to at the end of your review. Gord

Great value motoring!

I don't know that the 411cc engine would cut it competing as a road-oriented adventure touring bike. I think stripping down to this Scrambler was the right action. But there's rumors of a 450cc with more power coming? That could be the basis of a touring oriented bike.... and others. I like that they tend to come out with a couple flavors of each platform, like the Meteor/Classic, Him/Scram, Interceptor/GT, and they usually give you more and better color options than other brands do. I wish more brands would realize that anything approximating the approachable nature of an old Honda CB400 will sell right now, and changing to simplicity of a single or dual cylinder as well. Seems like only those like RE get it. Honda themselves should come out with a stripped down version of their 500 platform, i.e. Scrambler since I'm not going to pay extra for a 500X when what I want is a Scrambler naked version that the 500F could be with minor changes... but I digress. Seems like only Ducati and Benelli have a real competitor to this bike?! In which case RE wins for me.

I'd have liked to see some engine tweaks, to give it a bit more power, rather than just a light remap. Price will be key though. If it's competitively priced. Then it will sell, and people can do their own engine mods, using things like the tuning parts TEC do for the Himalayan

The 411 makes no sense to me.. There isn't anything that it does that the Himalayan can't do (in terms of completing the task).. You can always take a Himalayan and remove the wind screen and upper fender, buy a 19 inch front wheel and tire, buy a different rear shock and off you go - this would also allow you to switch back and forth if you so desire to wrench it a little..

Just watched this again. I don't like the 411's seat. It needs to be flat. Excellent review. Nick J

These guy's can do anything they want and do it well apparently . Seven fifty Sport Tour . . .

you said the abs is selectable, but it seems like from reviews it isnt

Hi everyone, i think that It could be a good occasion for RE ti do something more. Anyway I would come back on the Road, and the himalayan is one of my potential new bikes. Now the scram 411 replaced the himalayan on my personal top 5 list. I have to wait to see, and eventually to ride, It before taking my decision. Someone says scram should be cheaper than himalayan. That's no bad.

I like it. 👍

vídeo: a lot of weight was removed me: 😃 great, how much? video: a lot me: 💩

Can plz tell me about engine heating issue. Because I am going to buy this bike for my daily usage. Per day Avg 50km i have to drive. For my office I have to drive 22km to reach. Up and down 45km per day. So plz tel me bike heating and city milage..

I like it the way it is.

All of these Bikes have a serious flaw and that is the 17" or as the CRF 20 an 18" Wheel and low profile Tyres this Bike would be Ideal for Long Distance Trials Some of these events insist on Trials Tyres this requires an 18" Rear Wheel and a Swinging Arm long enough for a 400-18 Trials Tyre like the MT 43

Speaking of weight, why can't RE bring these bikes in at under 400 lbs? My old Yamaha XT 500 comes in at 360# curb weight.

765mm??

450 cc And 650 Himalayan are coming soon

New 450cc Himalayan is on the way.

I believe they will discontinue current Himalayan after 450 is launched. Those who still want it can buy the scram.

Is your background in children's voice over book on tape?

Himalayan front forks and you almost got yourself a dirtbike

I like the bike but 24 bhp is just not enough. 40 bhp with the same looks and style and you can count me in.

Its only lost 2kg when you account for the centre stand

Love the look of the scram, with the exception of that ugly headlight cowl.

WHY does it STILL have tube type tires? I won't even look at a bike with tube type tires. I've almost been killed by them, and I can't count the number of times I've been stranded beside the road with a blown out tube. It's 2022. Why do bikes still have 80 year old tire technology?

I wish I could understand more than half of what you say.

Nothing about this sounded like a critical, unbiased review. Just saying.

The Himalayan is far from a full on adventure bike. Rather is looks like one but is not equipped to actually be one. :(

The problem is the horsepower. You need 35 to 45 horses to be comfortable.

And why your 1080p HD looks like 480p? So, you can't afford a $300 Gopro 8 to film your shots? Cutting corners aren't ya?
