I think we can all agree that Royal Enfield’s been killing it lately. New model launch after new model launch, it seems that there’s no stopping Enfield from dominating the entry-level, retro-themed market. From the new Himalayan 450 to the Shotgun 650, RE’s clearly giving the people what they want.
And so, with all those good things on RE’s report card, I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t disappointed with the updated Scram.
Back when it was launched in 2022, I thought that the Scram 411 had quite a lot of potential. It was fun, easy to ride, and plenty capable. But it was horrendously underpowered, much like the Himalayan 411 it shared a stable with. So when RE unveiled the Himalayan 450, it made me super excited for them to release a Scram with the new liquid-cooled engine.
