I'd go for the RE. It has more tuning potential and should have a bigger engine.

Overall the Triumph has better components. Suspension and brakes are a step up.

It all depends on what you want. The Triumph feels more like a styled road bike and the RE feels more like a proper scrambler.

The long term maintenance of the RE will be cheaper. It’s easier to get parts and service.

Just for the brand prestige I'd choose the Triumph. It's a conversation starter.

The second is more practical in daily use. It has a bigger fuel tank and is most likely more fuel efficient.
Is the Royal Enfield Scrambler 450 just a Himalayan 450 in a new suit?

It’s definitely more than a reskin. The whole feel of the bike is totally different because the ergonomics and riding position are completely different.

It's the same bike, just with some fancy new plastics, come on. RE is just trying to squeeze all they can out of the 450 platform.

I've ridden both and they are very different. In city traffic, the Scrambler is much more nimble.

It's a smart move by RE. This gives more options for buyers because not everyone wants a full on ADV bike.

They are there, but I'm not so sure they're enough to justify the price. You could probably mod a Himalayan to be pretty similar.

I can tell you as a Himalayan owner that the Scrambler feels like a whole different beast. The small changes really do add up.

It's more of a lifestyle than that. If you want to look like you've got some off road capability, but don't want the actual off road capability, the Scrambler is for you.
With the new features and engine, is the Scram 440 still a true scrambler, or is it inching closer and closer to being a standard motorcycle?
13 January 2025 09:02
I'd say it's still at heart a scrambler. New features make it more usable day to day, but the core design elements are there. It’s not abandoning its roots, but evolving with the times.

Honestly, RE is trying to have its cake and eat it too. The Scram 440 is no longer really a scrambler, but is becoming more of a standard bike with scrambler styling.

I ride on and off road so I appreciate the updates. These changes make the scrambler more versatile, and should be capable in different scenarios.

We're just too hung up on labels, I believe. It is what it is, the Scram 440, a fun, capable bike that can do a little bit of everything. It doesn't have to fit neatly into the "scrambler" box, who cares?

I’m a little disappointed with the purist in me. The original Scram was raw and simple and I loved it. It seems that this is more about the urban hipster than true enthusiasts.

Let’s be real, these days most scramblers are more style than substance. At least with the Scram 440, they’re at least adding things that make it more enjoyable to ride.

This, to me, is a modern take on the scrambler idea. It recognizes that riders' needs have changed since the 60s and 70s but it keeps the spirit alive.
