If you are the child of the 80\u2019s, then at some point of time any action movie you watched be it in English, Malay, Cantonese, Tamil or Hindi the protagonist wouldve charged across the scene in a scrambler. The scrambler has always been the embodiment of macho-ness and as a child that image has forever engrained into most of us. A scrambler that looks like the Royal Enfield Scram 411.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It shares the 411 air cooled single from the older Himalayan, produces slightly more horsepower and torque than the 350cc singles from Royal Enfield, at 24bhp @ 6500rpm and 32N @ 4250rpm. Power is sent to the wheel via a 5 speed gearbox. This bike features 2 channel ABS for the front and back, along with ByBre brake calipers. What you do get is a lovely selection of funky colours that is a total contrast to the utilitarian chassis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Scram 411 rides on 41mm front shocks with 190mm travel at the front and a monoshock rear with 180mm travel at the back. The saddle height is 800mm and weights about 194kg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For this we took the bike out to the Kuala Klawang road\u2019s first half. The twisty mountainside road will be able to reveal what type of feel a particular car or bike has. The lack of traffic helps us to comfortably put the bike to its paces. Plus even if the vehicle you brought over does not suit the place, at least the scenery would look epic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The bike has a tall commanding riding position. You feel powerful and mighty riding it. It does not feel lethargic, just feels unique in the power delivery. The single 411 sounds like the 80\u2019s in all its glory and gives a lovely thumping note. It wont complain even on low rpm\u2019s when pulling out of corners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It also feels good when you\u2019re switching back between turns out here on the Scram 411. The bike feels very agile on its feet, willing to change directions with ease. The high riding position also gives a comfortable riding position especially for taller riders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the coolest thing about this bike is the way it screams nostalgia from a more analog era. It oozes appeal and feel that rival that of brands with price tags 3 to 4 times more expensive than the Scram 411. You \u2018feel\u2019 macho when you\u2019re riding around in the Scram 411. Which is why its the personal favourite among some of the RE PJ staff themselves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The best part about the 411 is that its pretty friendly for even beginners. If you\u2019re just starting out on bikes, or returning to them after a long hiatus, the Scram could be the bike for you. So long as you are able to handle the height of the bike this would be a really versatile package.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Royal Enfield Scram 411 is not the signature bike the RE brand is known for. But its something worth getting to know about. At RM26,900 onwards its pretty good value without making you feel like you settled for a cheap bike. With the 7 colour options that look more at home on 80\u2019s TV show posters than on a motorcycle for the 2020\u2019s, its a looker too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
