Royal Enfield is working on a new scrambler, the Royal Enfield Scram 450. This upcoming model is expected to sit between road-focused and off-road motorcycles, offering a balanced riding experience for everyday use as well as light trails.
The Scram 450 will be based on the same Sherpa 450 platform that underpins the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. It is likely to use the same 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing around 39.4bhp and 39Nm. This setup should provide a good mix of performance and usability.
In terms of design, the Scram 450 is expected to carry a retro-inspired look with some off-road elements. Features like a beak-style front fender, headlamp grille, and unique graphics could help differentiate it from its siblings.
The hardware setup will likely include USD front forks and a rear monoshock, possibly sourced from Showa. Suspension travel could be slightly lower than the Himalayan 450 to make it more manageable on city roads. The bike is expected to ride on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination, with both alloy and spoke wheel options.
On the features front, the Scram 450 may get the same TFT display seen on other 450cc Royal Enfield models. This could include navigation, smartphone connectivity, and music controls. Switchable ABS at the rear is also expected, improving control during off-road riding.
Pricing is likely to be positioned below the Himalayan 450, making it a more accessible option in the segment.
