Context
Why does this story matter?
The Scram 411 will be introduced as the road-biased version of the Royal Enfield Himalayan ADV. The motorcycle will share its mechanicals with the Himalayan and should be suitable for mild off-roading. However, it will get cosmetic changes to set itself apart. It will take on rivals such as the Yezdi Scrambler, Husqvarna Svartpilen 250, and the Honda CB350RS.

The bike will have an upswept exhaust and spoked rims
Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 will have a sloping fuel tank with badge plates, chiseled side panels with slots, a single-piece seat with a pillion grab rail, an upswept exhaust, and a circular headlight with a cast metal cowl. It will get full-LED lighting and a semi-digital instrument panel with support for Tripper Navigation. It will ride on spoked wheels shod in dual-purpose tires.
Information
It will be fueled by a 24hp, 411cc engine
The Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 will be powered by a BS6-compliant 411cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled engine that makes 24.3hp of power and 32Nm of torque. The motor will be paired to a 5-speed gearbox.
Safety
It will get dual-channel ABS
In terms of safety equipment, the Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 will be equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for improved handling on the roads.
