The Royal Enfield Sherpa 350 is expected to enjoy a healthy aftermarket scene, but how will its potential for customization compare with that of the Classic 350?
13 January 2025 09:18
You’re both missing the point. It's safe to assume the Sherpa will have its own special style of customization. We’re more thinking rugged, offroad inspired mods versus the retro cafe racer stuff we see on Classics.
Will the Royal Enfield Sherpa 350 be a true rival to the Himalayan, as its off-road potential suggests, or is it all talk?
13 January 2025 09:18
You're all missing the point. The Himalayan isn't meant to compete with the Sherpa. It’s for urban riders who want the adventure look, but not the bulk. They are a completely different target audience.
How will the Royal Enfield Sherpa 350’s retro modern design affect its attractiveness versus more contemporary styled competitors?
13 January 2025 09:18
You're both wrong. That’s exactly what a lot of riders are looking for: retro design with modern touches. It's always up to date, but never outdated. RE knows their market.
The Royal Enfield Sherpa 350: Will its smaller engine hamper it from becoming the go to tourer in India or could it ride to the top?
13 January 2025 09:18
That’s all about the right tool for the job. The Sherpa might be the perfect bike for solo touring, or light two up trips. But it’s when you start piling it with heavy luggage that you might wish you had more power.
Is the Royal Enfield Sherpa 350 nothing more than a rebadged Classic 350 or does it offer something new with it?
13 January 2025 09:18
I think it's a bit of both. It's got the same 350cc engine, but it looks more adventure focused in the ergonomics and overall design. RE is trying to fill the gap between the Hunter and the Himalayan, it’s like.
Will the Interceptor 650 be a better tourer than the Royal Enfield Scrambler 650?
13 January 2025 09:12
The Interceptor has better wind protection, but if the Scrambler does, it might win out.
Will the Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 steal sales from the Himalayan, or will it entice new riders?
13 January 2025 09:12
No, totally different crowds. Himalayan guys want real ADV, Scrambler people want style.
The Triumph Scrambler 400X has been the only scrambler in the country for a while now, and the Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 has now joined the fray, but how will it fare in the Indian market?
13 January 2025 09:12
RE's going to surprise everyone with some high end features to match Triumph.
Could the Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 be the bike that breaks the international market for RE?
13 January 2025 09:12
Overseas, RE still has a reputation for unreliability, and that’ll be tough to shake.
Is the Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 just a marketing gimmick or is it actually an off road capable machine?
13 January 2025 09:12
And it’s probably gonna be more capable than we think. RE's been doing a lot more lately.
Is the Royal Enfield Scrambler 450 aimed at traditional RE fans, or a new audience?
13 January 2025 09:07
I am a long time RE owner and very excited about the Scrambler. It evidences that he can move the brand forward, keeping it culturally intact.
Will the Royal Enfield 450 Scrambler cannibalize its Hunter 350 sales?
13 January 2025 09:07
It's a smart move by RE. People will be in the RE family as they look to upgrade from the Hunter, and the Scrambler will keep them there.
Does the Scrambler 450 by Royal Enfield have enough off road abilities to back up its name?
13 January 2025 09:07
It’s fine as long as you’re not expecting KTM levels of off road performance. It’s great for fire roads and easy trails.
So how does the Royal Enfield Scrambler 450 fare as an overall package and in the value proposition vis a vis the Triumph Scrambler 400X?
13 January 2025 09:07
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.
Is the Royal Enfield Scrambler 450 just a Himalayan 450 in a new suit?
13 January 2025 09:07
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
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?
How does the Scram 440’s value proposition fare against the likes of Yezdi Scrambler and upcoming Hero Mavrick 440?
13 January 2025 09:02
The Scram 440 just feels like a more mature product and I'm leaning towards it. I think, first of all, the Yezdi and Mavrick are first gen models, and RE has been refining this platform for years.
The Scram 440 is it just a Scram 411 with beef, or does it bring something new to the table?
13 January 2025 09:02
I'm torn. It's a clear improvement over the 411 on one hand. On the other, it looks like RE is playing it safe. With the likes of the Yezdi Scrambler trying to push the boundaries, I was hoping for something more adventurous.
Is the Scram 440's switchable ABS actually going to make it more off road capable or is it just a marketing gimmick?
13 January 2025 09:02
I have ridden bikes with and without this feature and I can say it does make a difference. It's nice to have the option even if you're not hardcore off roading on unpaved roads or in slippery conditions.
Is the Scram 440's increased power, and 6 speed gearbox, a viable alternative to the Himalayan 450 for long distance touring?
13 January 2025 09:02
I've ridden both and I would say the Scram 440 is surprisingly capable for touring. But coupled with the 6th gear, the highway rides are huge difference and the more upright seating position is comfy for long rides.
