The Royal Enfield Scram 440 was introduced in January of this year as a successor to the Scram 411. Although this model featured numerous enhancements compared to its predecessor, including a larger and more powerful engine, various problems with the motorcycle led the manufacturer to cease sales for a period of time. The problem was associated with a defective engine component on the Royal Enfield Scram 440. This component, known as the 'Woodruff key', connects the rotating elements to the shafts and is situated within the magneto assembly, requiring replacement. As a result of this issue, the motorcycle would not start after stalling during a ride. This problem was apparent in some of the initial bikes delivered to customers. Consequently, Royal Enfield opted to halt sales while deliveries were still in the early stages, until the issue was rectified.

Royal Enfield Scram 440 Bookings, Sales Resume After Hiatus
Royal Enfield launched the Scram 440 in the Indian market back in January 2025. Following the natural path of its initial lifecycle, the motorcycle entered the market and was up for consumers to book. However, some mechanical issues disrupted the process in the motorcycle's engine. Now, the brand seems to have resolved the problem to bring the bookings and sales back on track. The issue with the bike was identified in a component called Woodfruff key within the magneto. This prevented the isolated motorcycles' engines from starting after running for some time. The engine did not stall mid-ride. However, certain units refused to restart after having been turned off. Diving into the specifics, the motorcycle is priced starting at Rs 2.08 lakh (ex-showroom) and features a design reminiscent of the Scram 411. It showcases a circular LED headlamp that emphasizes the neo-retro appeal of the bike. This is further enhanced by a somewhat boxy fuel tank that displays the Royal Enfield logo on its side. The overall look is finished off with a visible chassis and a single-piece seat. Royal Enfield is also providing 19/17-inch spoke wheels, along with an option for alloy wheels on the Force variant. The bike's aesthetics are further complemented by color options such as Trail Green, Trail Blue, Force Teal, Force Grey, and Force Blue. Constructed on a half-duplex split cradle frame, the motorcycle features 41 mm telescopic front forks for suspension, while the rear is equipped with a mono-shock and linkage system. The front braking system uses a 300 mm disc paired with a two-piston floating caliper. In contrast, the rear braking system comprises a 240 mm disc supported by a single-piston floating caliper. It is important to highlight that all of these results in a dry weight of 187 kg. As part of its enhanced technology, the motorcycle includes a digital-analog display. The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is powered by a 443 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. This engine is engineered to generate 25 hp of power at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm of maximum torque at 4,000 rpm. The generated power is delivered to the rear wheel through a six-speed transmission featuring a wet multi-plate clutch.
