Royal Enfield Scram 440

The Royal Enfield Scram 440 fully complies with India’s BS6 Phase 2 (BS6.2 / OBD-2B) emission norms and is engineered to run on E20 fuel (20% Ethanol blend). Its Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system and onboard diagnostics monitor real-time tailpipe emissions to keep the engine efficient and compliant.

The recommended cold tire pressure for the Scram 440 is 25 PSI (Front) / 32 PSI (Rear) for solo riding, and 27 PSI (Front) / 34 PSI (Rear) when carrying a pillion or heavy luggage. Maintaining these pressures ensures optimal contact patch, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity.

The primary difference between the two variants lies in the wheel type and tire setup: the Scram 440 Trail comes with wire-spoke wheels and tube-type tires for traditional off-road riding, whereas the Scram 440 Force features tough alloy wheels paired with tubeless tires for easy puncture repair. Both variants share the same 443cc engine, frame, suspension, and switchable ABS system.

The Scram 440 comes equipped with dual-channel ABS, featuring a switchable rear ABS mode that allows the rider to disengage anti-lock braking at the rear wheel for controlled rear-wheel sliding on low-traction off-road surfaces like dirt, sand, or loose gravel.

• Street/Highway Mode: Dual-channel ABS remains fully active on both front and rear wheels.

• Off-Road Mode: Deactivates rear ABS via the console switch while keeping front ABS active to prevent front-wheel tucks during hard trail braking.

The first service for the Scram 440 is scheduled at 500 km or 45 days (whichever comes first), followed by periodic service intervals every 5,000 km or 6 months.

The Scram 440 requires Semi-Synthetic SAE 15W-50 API SL, JASO MA2 grade engine oil.

The Scram 440 delivers an overall fuel efficiency of approximately 28–30 km/l under mixed city and highway conditions. Coupled with its 15-liter fuel tank, the motorcycle offers a full-tank range of 420 to 450 km before needing a fill-up.

Yes, the Scram 440 features an accessible 795 mm seat height combined with a narrow waist profile, making it easy for riders of varying heights (including those 5'3" to 5'7") to plant both feet firmly on the ground. It also boasts a generous 200 mm ground clearance to comfortably clear large speed breakers and unpaved roads without scraping the underbody.

The Scram 440 comes factory-fitted with a high-intensity LED headlight unit for low-beam and high-beam visibility, an LED tail lamp, and a 12V, 8Ah maintenance-free battery. It also includes a handlebar/console-mounted USB Type-A charging port to power smartphones and GPS devices on long rides.

The Scram 440's digital-analogue instrument cluster supports Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation via the official Royal Enfield Mobile App.

1. Turn on the motorcycle ignition and open the Royal Enfield App on your iOS or Android smartphone.
2. Navigate to the 'Navigate' section and tap 'Connect Device'.
3. Select your Scram 440 from the available Bluetooth devices and confirm the PIN displayed on the console.
4. Input your destination in the app to display turn-by-turn arrows and distance alerts directly on the pod display.

The Scram 440 has a maximum allowable payload capacity of 179 kg (rider, pillion, and gear combined). The factory-designed rear section includes built-in provision for mounting a top box, rated for up to 10 kg of dedicated tail-luggage weight.

The rear monoshock on the Scram 440 features step-adjustable preload. To adjust it:

1. Place the motorcycle on its main stand or a sturdy flat paddock stand.
2. Use the specialized hook spanner provided in the under-seat tool kit.
3. Rotate the stepped collar at the base of the monoshock clockwise to increase preload (stiffer setup for pillion/luggage) or counter-clockwise to decrease preload (softer setup for solo light riding).

The Scram 440 comes with a standard manufacturer warranty of 3 years or 30,000 kilometers (whichever occurs earlier). Owners can also purchase Ride Sure extended warranty packages extending coverage up to 5 years / 50,000 km, which include complimentary Roadside Assistance (RSA).

Matte paint finishes require non-abrasive care: wash matte surfaces using clean water and a mild pH-neutral auto shampoo only. Traditional waxes, polishes, or rubbing compounds, can permanently gloss or smudge the matte finish.

During the first 1,000 km, engine speeds should be kept within specified limits:

• 0 to 500 km: Keep speed under 60 km/h and engine speed below 4,000 RPM across all gears. Avoid full-throttle acceleration and prolonged high-RPM idling.

• 500 to 1,000 km: Keep speed under 80 km/h and engine speed below 5,000 RPM. Vary engine speeds periodically during rides.

While aftermarket tubeless conversions for spoke rims exist, Royal Enfield does not officially endorse sealing spoke beds with aftermarket kits. Owners seeking tubeless convenience should opt for the Scram 440 Force variant, which features factory-tested, cast alloy wheels designed specifically for tubeless tires.

The 6th gear acts as a dedicated overdrive ratio, reducing engine RPM at speeds between 80 km/h and 110 km/h. This lowers engine vibration, improves long-distance fuel efficiency, and provides a smoother, more relaxed highway cruising experience than the older 5-speed Scram 411.

Royal Enfield provides 24x7 Roadside Assistance (RSA) free for the first year of ownership across India. RSA can be invoked via the RE Mobile App or helpline (1800-210-0007) for towing, flat tire assistance, battery jump-starts, and fuel delivery.
