It suits riders who want adventure-bike looks and 200mm of ground clearance without committing to the Himalayan's size and weight, though the air-cooled engine and single-channel ABS trail the liquid-cooled competition at a similar price.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
The Scram 440 is sold in 2 variants, from ₹2,24,373 for the Trail to ₹2,32,371 for the Force, ex-showroom Delhi.
That makes it priced 55th lowest among the 75 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Apache RTR 310 (₹910 more) and the 250 Duke (₹1,904 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹2.63 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Trail | ₹2,24,373 | |
Force | ₹2,32,371 |
Mileage
Scram 440's claimed mileage is 30 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 28–31 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 67 sports bikes we have reviewed it ranks 55th for mileage, 12 kmpl below the group average of 42 kmpl.
Engine and ride
The 443cc air-cooled engine makes 25.4 bhp and 34 Nm through a 6 Speed. With a kerb weight of 196 kg that is 130 bhp per tonne, 36th best power-to-weight of the 73 bikes in this class we have reviewed.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.
Chassis hardware includes a rear monoshock and single-channel ABS, with a disc, 300 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 240 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.
At 795 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Scram 440 gives buyers adventure-bike proportions and ground clearance without the size or price of the Himalayan, from ₹2.24 lakh. It uses a simpler air-cooled 443cc engine rather than the Himalayan's liquid-cooled unit, which keeps costs down but also keeps this firmly a city-and-light-trail bike rather than a genuine tourer.
Riding it every day
200mm of ground clearance and a 196kg kerb weight make it confident over potholes, unpaved patches, and speed breakers that would trouble a low-slung roadster. The single-channel ABS and disc brakes handle routine city stops fine, though riders used to dual-channel setups on rivals like the Dominar 400 will notice the difference under hard braking. Real-world efficiency of 28-31kmpl and a 15-litre tank support reasonably long rides between fuel stops.
What to know before buying
25.4bhp trails several similarly priced 250-310cc rivals on outright performance, so this is a bike for riders prioritising stance and ground clearance over outright speed. The air-cooled engine means slightly more heat and vibration under sustained load than the Himalayan's liquid-cooled unit. Royal Enfield's dealer network and 5,000km service intervals keep ownership predictable.
Who should buy it
Riders wanting adventure-bike looks and genuine ground clearance for city and light off-road use, at a lower price than the Himalayan, should consider the Scram 440. Anyone planning serious touring or off-roading should step up to the Himalayan 450 or Himalayan 440.
Features and colours

On safety kit the Scram 440 has single-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.
Against Himalayan 450, CB350RS or Guerrilla 450, it gets single-channel abs that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: slipper clutch, colour tft console, bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 5 colours: Force Teal, Force Grey, Force Blue, Trail Green and Trail Blue. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 3 years or 30,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 5,000 km.
Royal Enfield runs a sizeable sales and service network in India, at roughly 2,200 touchpoints. Spares and a mechanic who knows the model are rarely far away.
The Scram 440 launched in 2025, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.

- How much does the Scram 440 cost to run per month?
- Fuel works out to about ₹3.21 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹2,507 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the Scram 440?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹7,120 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- What is the engine capacity and power of the Scram 440?

- Is the Scram 440 suitable for short riders?
- Mostly. Seat height is 795 mm, which suits riders from about 5'5". Shorter riders should sit on one at the showroom.
- Scram 440 or Himalayan 450: which is better?
- The Himalayan 450 is ₹83,656 more expensive to start and less efficient at 29 kmpl against 30 kmpl. Pick the Scram 440 for city and light off-road use, the Himalayan 450 for long-distance touring. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the Scram 440?
- Among the 75 sports bikes we have reviewed, the Pulsar 125 (₹93,507), the MT-15 V2 (₹1.68 Lakh), the Pulsar NS 200 (₹1.39 Lakh) start lower.
- Can the Scram 440 handle actual off-road trails?
- It can manage light gravel, dirt tracks, and broken rural roads thanks to 200mm of ground clearance and a monoshock rear, but its road-biased tyres and modest power mean it is not built for serious off-roading like the Himalayan. Treat it as a capable all-rounder rather than a dedicated trail bike.
- Is the Scram 440 too underpowered next to 300cc rivals?
- At 25.4bhp it trails liquid-cooled 300cc rivals like the Dominar 400 or Apache RTR 310 on outright acceleration and top speed. It still has enough torque for confident city riding and casual highway cruising, just not for quick overtaking duels.
