Are newer adventure bikes replacing the Scram 411 by 2025?
The Scram 411 is a few years old now and has been joined by a number of other adventure bikes recently. With bikes like KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G 310 GS and even Royal Enfield’s own Himalayan 450 available now, some riders are wondering if Scram 411 is still a contender. As for the bike’s power output and technology, it has been persistently criticized, deemed too low and as unattainably old, but then, it still has a devoted fanbase that loves the simplicity and ruggedness. With more modern and more powerful options available, does the Scram 411's retro styling and adventure capability make it competitive, or is it time for Royal Enfield to give it a serious update?
Absolutely! It’s that old Jeep that you can trust - you don’t get all the bells and whistles, but it’ll get you anywhere you want to go with a smile on your face. Not every adventure bike needs or wants cutting edge tech.
Honestly, I think it’s falling behind. The power output is weak compared to modern bikes and there is no ride modes or a TFT display (which is starting to show its age). It’s still a cool bike, but it’s not competitive without an update.
The Scram 411 is super relevant for beginners or for anyone who wants to have a more laid back adventure experience. The simplicity of the bike is actually a selling point for a lot of riders, because it's a lot less intimidating than some of the higher powered options out there.
It's hard to say, depends on what you use it for. There are probably better options now for hardcore off roading or long highway trips. Still a great choice for mixed city and light trail use. All we’re trying to do is find the right tool for the job.
The Scram 411 was never about being the most advanced or powerful bike, let’s be real. It’s all about experience and the heritage of the Royal Enfield. It'll remain relevant as long as there are riders who care about that. Not everyone requires 50+ horsepower for fun on two wheels.
