Royal Enfield telah pun memperkenalkan ahli baharu dalam keluarga Himalayan menerusi Scram 411.
Royal Enfield Scram 411 ini lahir daripada Himalayan 411 dan hasilnya, model ini juga dikuasakan enjin 411cc SOHC dengan penyejukan udara yang menghasilkan 24.3hp pada 6,500rpm dan 32Nm pada 6,500rpm.
Kuasa pula disalurkan kepada tayar belakang menerusi transmisi 5-kelajuan.
Sistem suspensi pula hadir menerusi fork depan teleskopik 41mm dengan jarak pergerakan 190mm sementara monoshock belakang pula tawar pergerakan 180mm.
Spesifikasi tersebut adalah sama seperti yang terdapat pada Himalayan 411 2022.
Meskipun Scram 411 menawarkan ciri motosikal urban namun komponen brek juga sama seperti Himalayan 411, dengan kaliper brek dua-piston di depan dipadankan bersama cakera brek 300mm dan kaliper satu piston belakang dengan cakera brek 240mm.
Kawalan brek juga diselia dengan bantuan ABS dwi-saluran.
Pada masa sama, Scram 411 ini juga masih lagi didatangkan dengan rim jenis ‘wire spoke’ sama seperti Himalayan 411 sekaligus model baharu ini masih lagi boleh ditunggang di permukaan lasak.
Sementara itu, penghadang angin tinggi pada Himalayan 411 tidak lagi kelihatan sebaliknya Scram 411 ini dapat pelindung lampu depan berbentuk bulat.
Road-biased Himalayan Scram 411 is set to be unveiled on March 15 2022 as announced by the Indian firm via its social media platform.
The Himalayan Scram 411 is a continuity of the capable Himalayan adventure motorcycle but with increased usability in an urban environment.

Despite the Scram 411 retaining a similar silhouette of the Himalayan, the motorcycle missed out on the tall windscreen, handguards, raised front fender and dedicated rear and front luggage racks.
Other fundamental changes include a 19-inch front wheel in place of the off-road friendly 21-inch on the Himalayan.
While the Scram 411 is closer to the ground at 200mm – 220mm on the Himalayan, it features spoke-wheels and a dual-purpose tyre.
Other significant features include cast metal headlamp cowl, offset speedometer, urban badge plate with Royal Enfield branding and single-piece saddle.
Nevertheless, the Scram 411 continue to run on the same 411cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that generates a humble 24.3hp @ 6,500rpm and 32Nm @ 4000-4,500rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox.
Other features include:
Royal Enfield is about to unleash an all-new Himalayan 450 that is set to rival the KTM 390 Adventure.
The rumours have been making their round for quite some time now but it has been confirmed that a more powerful Himalayan will be set to debut in the first quarter of 2023.
According to reports in India, Royal Enfield decided to develop a slightly bigger Himalayan after customer feedback suggested the current Himalayan 411 is a bit underpowered due to its weight.
As the name suggests, the Himalayan 450 will carry a 450cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine capable of producing 40hp and has more low-end grunt and better mid-range power. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a 6-speed manual transmission.
Looking at the image render provided by BikeWale, the Himalayan 450 shares a very similar build-up with the 411 including a circular headlamp, frame, tall handlebars and long suspension travel.
The 450 is expected to carry the same tire configuration with a 21-inch front and 17-inch rear.
Interestingly, the 450 will also feature tubeless spoke wheels, something you usually find on a bigger and pricier adventure machine.
Royal Enfield is edging closer to launching the all-new Scram 411, as the model was caught testing in production form in India.
Essentially a road-biased version of the current Himalayan, the Scram 411 holds a huge significance.
Despite carrying most of the same underpinnings from the Himalayan, the Scram 411 is built for riders who prefer riding on the tarmac.
The Scram 411 misses out on a tall windscreen and the signature Himalayan front that depicts an adventure motorcycle.
It also features a new handlebar, redesigned tail to accommodate a different taillamp and rear indicators.
Other changes include revised front and rear mudguards, a single-piece saddle and a new circular headlamp.
Nevertheless, the Scram 411 will retain the same 411cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC engine that makes 24.3hp @ 6,500rpm and 32Nm between 4,000-4,500rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a 5-speed transmission.
Royal Enfield is expected to announce the official launch date soon.
Two Royal Enfield Himalayan managed to overcome harsh weather and terrain to successfully capture the South Pole.
Ridden by Santhosh Vijay Kumar and Dean Coxson, the two begin their journey onboard two modified Himalayan from Novolazarevskaya research stations in Antarctica.
The pair took nine days to cover a distance of 3,200 kilometres and faced bone-chilling temperatures ranging from -30 degrees to -25 degrees Celsius before arriving at the location.
Other than facing a wind speed of 60km/h, the pair had to change their course more than once but still managed to reach the South Pole on December 16 together with a support crew.
In order to make the ride possible, the Himalayan’s underwent some modifications. The bike was also ridden on a compacted snow track from Ross Ice Shelf to the South Pole in an effort to reduce drag and limit emission.
Currently, the two Himalayan are still in Antarctica.
Two Royal Enfield riders are set to embark on a 39-day expedition from Ross Ice Shelf to the South Pole on a purpose-built Himalayan.
The 770km ride is another ambitious attempt by Royal Enfield as it also conceptualised a tribute to the brand 120-year legacy.
“120 years is a long legacy for the brand, and we are delighted to have made it count.
“Over these years, we have created and nurtured a thriving culture of riding and exploration around the world.
“This pursuit of exploration has been a quintessential part of our DNA, and 90° South is another chapter in our series of extraordinary, epic motorcycling rides,” said Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd.
The 90° South-Quest for the Pole main objective is to inspire more Royal Enfield Himalayan owners to become adventurous.
According to the Indian firm, the expedition will begin from Cape Town on November 26 with two Royal Enfield riders, Santosh Vijay Kumar and Dean Coson, attempting to reach the South Pole from the Ross Ice Shelf via Leverett Glacier to the iconic Amundsen-Scoot Pole station.
The two will also be joined by Arctic Trucks, a member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators.
Interestingly, the special built Himalayan has undergone a test at the Langjokull glacier in Iceland in September and July this year.
Sejak dilancarkan pada 2016, Royal Enfield Himalayan merupakan antara motosikal ADV berenjin kecil paling popular di pasaran global.
Meskipun bersesaran 410cc dan menawarkan 24.5hp serta 32Nm namun Himalayan mampu menangani apa jua keadaan permukaan jalan cuma lebih perlahan berbanding jentera ADV berkuasa lain.
Dalam perkembangan terbaru, Royal Enfield dilaporkan sedang membangunkan Himalayan dengan enjin parallel-twin 650cc.
Difahamkan, Royal Enfield mengguna pakai enjin sama yang terdapat pada model Continental GT dan Interceptor 650 yang mampu menawarkan 47hp dan 52Nm.
Menariknya, pembangunan Himalayan 650 itu dilakukan di pusat teknologi Royal Enfield di United Kingdom.
Royal Enfield Himalayan are one of the most successful models since its launch in 2016.
Despite powered by a small 411cc engine producing just 24hp, the Himalayan proved to be a reliable adventure that can tackle almost every terrain, just not that fast.
However, recent reports suggest the next generation of Himalayan might take you on an adventure with more power and speed.
According to the latest updates, Royal Enfield plans to carry the 650cc twin-cylinder engine from the ever-popular Continental GT and Interceptor onto the Himalayan.
Interestingly, the new Himalayan is currently being developed at Royal Enfiled’s UK development centre located at Bruntingthorpe.
Royal Enfield is yet to disclose any further details but based on the current demands on a middleweight adventure bike, we might catch a glimpse of the new Himalayan soon enough.
The Royal Enfield brand enjoys cult like status around the world, such is its appeal that even the Indonesian President has one.
But it is only in the past few years that the brand is being introduced to people outside of the ‘enthusiast and classic fans circle’ in Malaysia. This thanks to efforts by an enthusiastic local distributor and availability of models like the Himalayan (below), the Interceptor and the Continental.
Things could turn up a notch if reports of upcoming models that include a roadster and a cruiser turn out to be true.
According to the motorcycle grapevine, Royal Enfield has filed trademark application for the name “Royal Enfield Scram”, as seen in what appears to be a screenshot of the trademark filing below.
Curiously though, there has not been a single spy shot of the Chennai-based bike maker’s latest model.
But according to Rushlane, the entire inspiration for the Scrambler model stemmed from modification projects of the past such as the modifications carried out on the company’s Interceptor 650, which should give a good indication of what the Scrambler could look like.
That or the renderings (below) of what the Scrambler could look as posted on MotoSketches.
As for the powertrain, it only makes sense for Royal Enfield to use what is already in its parts bin and since the 500cc engine has been dropped from all new models, it only makes sense for Royal Enfield to turn to its 650cc engine that is already powering models like the, you guessed it, Interceptor (below, orange) and Continental (below,white).
The parallel twin engine is bolted to a tubular steel frame, and puts out 47hp of power and 52Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed constant mesh gearbox.
Suspension duties is carried out by standard forks up front and twin shocks at the rear, while stopping power is provided by a 320mm disc up front and a 240mm disc at the rear, backed up by a dual-channel ABS system.
Some time ago, Royal Enfield announced that it is going to be introducing 28 all-new or updated models up until the year 2027.
Hence the introduction of the new Royal Enfield Scrambler is almost certainly part of this multi-year model roll out.
It is then just a matter of time (two years perhaps) for the ‘Royal Enfiel Scram’ to make its way to Malaysia.
Then comes the big question then, with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT priced at the RM46,000 region, would you pay about that much for what is looking to be a very handsome Scrambler?
This is not the Royal Enfield Himalayan. Instead, it is another Chinese copy cat called the Hanway G30.
While the Himalayan is devoid of modern-day features, the Hanway G30 is loaded with fancy technology such as a big TFT display.
Nonetheless, the G30 is powered by a 249.2cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 26hp instead of the 411cc found on the Himalayan.
Braking is done by a dual-channel ABS paired to a 280mm and 240mm disc at the front and rear.
It is unfortunate that the Hanway G30 is a direct copy of the Himalayan but considering the features and the price tag of CNY17,280, equivalent to RM10,908. It makes the G30 an excellent beginner motorcycle for the budget-conscious rider.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan does not need an introduction. Though Malaysians may not see lots of them on the road or perhaps never at all, but fact of the matter is the Himalayan has brought a mountain of success to Royal Enfield.
Every since its introduction back in 2016, the Himalayan has been the go to bike for those looking for an affordable, fuss-free, comfortable and most importantly, capable dual-purpose motorcycle.
And now, for 2021, it has been updated with small but serious features that make it a lot more capable and environmentally friendly.
The 2021 Himalayan still uses the same 411cc single-cylinder SOHC air-cooled engine as before that still produces 24.3bhp@6500rpm and 32Nm of torque. The difference now? It is Euro5 compliant which means it is read to be sold in more markets around the world.
The same steel cradle frame has been carried forward unchanged, as have the 41mm forks at the front and the same straightforward monoshock rear.
The most obvious change is the new shape of the Himalayan’s signature front-mounted luggage mount frames, which also double as brackets for the headlights and instrument panel. It features a more subtle appearance now and sort of blends into the overall design of the bike than before.
Royal Enfield has also updated the seat, making it more plush and comfortable for long distance rides than before.
And the most important chance is the inclusion of the Royal Enfield “Tripper” navigation system which made its debut late 2020 on the Royal Enfield Meteor.
It comes in the form of an extra instrument panel bolted to the right hand side of the fuel gauge.
We have not seen it in action as yet, but some motorcycling sites are calling it “neat solution.”
It leverages the processing power of the rider’s smartphone, and acts as a display for Google Maps-based navigation. You simply key in your desired route and destination via a dedicated phone app, and live directions are displayed on the GPS display’s tiny screen with arrows telling you where to go and a distance countdown telling you how far away the next turn is.
And also new for the 2021 Himalayan is a new range of colors that include a new camp-style ‘Pine Green’, ‘Granite Black’, ‘Gravel Gray’, ‘Mirage Silver’ and two-tone ‘Lake Blue’ and ‘Rock Red’ versions.
There is no news yet on when the new Himalayan will be on offer in Malaysia.
