Is the Scram 440's increased power, and 6 speed gearbox, a viable alternative to the Himalayan 450 for long distance touring?
More powerful engine than the previous one and an additional gear in the mix on paper makes the Royal Enfield Scram 440 more usable for touring as well. That puts it in an interesting spot relative to the Himalayan 450, which has long been RE's go to bike for adventure touring. For riders who do most of their riding on tarmac but want to get out of the house on the dirt road, the Scram 440's more road oriented design might actually be preferable. But the Himalayan 450 still has an edge in terms of wind protection and also luggage capacity. Also, comfort over long distances comes into play, because these two bikes have different ergonomics. So let's dig into how the Scram 440 would stack up as a touring bike, and could it eat into some of the Himalayan 450’s market share?
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.
