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.
Royal Enfield is finally stepping into the futuristic era with the SG650 Concept after deftly toed the line between modern and retro.
Presented at EICMA 2021, the Royal Enfield SG650 Concept represents the company bold move into the future.
“We are a company in transition.
“To celebrate this, we wanted to develop a project that really gave our design team an opportunity to stretch themselves creatively,” said Royal Enfield Chief of Design, Mark Wells.
The SG650 Concept combines a cruiser-like motorcycle with a cyberpunk element while running on the iconic 648cc parallel-twin engine.
The concept bike features an aluminium headlight nacelle, an inverted fork, low-rise handlebars, and aluminium switches.
Nevertheless, the SG650 Concept clearly borrows design cues from the 650 Twins (Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650).
We expect Royal Enfield to introduce a production version of the SG650 Concept in a few years to come.
