I cover a lot in this video so please use the time stamps to navigate if you don't have time for the whole thing! First half is a "Daily Rider" style riding impressions video and walkaround. Second half is a formal review. Thanks for watching!
"Pleasurable riding ISNT all about top speed and acceleration" Congratulations lad, it took me 50 years to learn that ! I actually enjoyed running in my Scram and took it as a challenge not a toil, good honest fun, all be it a little slowly, MORE time to enjoy it
I traded in my Interceptor for a 2023 Scram 1 year ago, and have never looked back. The Scram is so much more nimble. Most, if not all of my riding is in town riding and the Scram excels in my opinion.
Greetings from Brazil! Great video... it had a lot of info without the tedious, never-ending blah blah blah from other youtubers. thank you! Oh, and also, clear English... that helps so much!
TEC parts do an aftermarket cam, which addresses most of the overtaking issues with the Scram. Especially if you add a performance air filter to the mix.
Nice review! I’ve been dabating kung ano kukunin ko kung Svartpilen 401 or Scram 411. I made my decision I’ll choose Scram 411 then. Who needs more horsepower to enjoy the pure motorcycling.
First I want to say excellent truthful video I am the owner of this motorcycle since it launched last year I have nothing but good things to say and you are correct it will not set any speed record however the Scram meets all its promises for what it is designed for again you will not set any speed records the scram is not only relaxing but also fun it all depends on the rider meaning how experienced the driver is I can go from being relaxed to having fun flicking the bike in a blink of an eye Greetings From San Diego California (keep the Scram 411 underrated so I can still having fun and laughing at the noobs) 😅😅😅😅😅
bought the exact same model but changed out the exhaust, added new mirrors and added some colour to the headlight! About to drive some long distances here in texas, ready to add hundreds of miles within a day. Excited!
Thank's for the video Aaron. You really did a fine job in your approach to the bike. It's always nice to see what is going on in other parts of the world. Cheers & have a beautiful day my friend!! Illinois, USA
Great video. I'm fortunate enough to have both a Scram and an Interceptor. You've covered much of what each does perfectly. If I could only one, it could be the Scram despite the one feature you mention - just not quite enough power. I feel it could tour long distance but the right roads and plenty of time. The engine and gearbox on both machines are superb. The oem road tyres on the Interceptor are dreadful but Bridgestone transform that, for me. In contrast, I don't go off road, I have been surprised at the Ceats on the Scram which have been fine in all weathers and the first oem tyres I haven't wanted to junk immediately. These are two superb machines and, like you, I guess I'm a bit of an RE fanboy too (though at my age boy really seems to have expired! I've a fair amount of bike experience, yet still surprised to find two machines which can really return a new, of perhaps forgotten, real spirit to motorcycling.
Lovely hearing that! They make a great pair. Sometimes now I ride my Interceptor and actually miss the more relaxed character of the Scram with how crazy it is commuting in Manila lately. And overall, the more I ride more expensive motorcycles the more I actually appreciate why the Enfields are so good and well-loved. Good to hear your story, safe riding!
I’m tempted to pull the trigger on the Scram 411. However, there are a couple articles out there that indicate Royal Enfield is going to increase the engine to 440cc. Not much of an increase but every bit could help.
Bro, i think we have the same problem. I miss my Hima’s real adventure creds but wanting more power hence buying an INT650 then trying our best to make it as adventure as the Hima by modifying it to be a scrambler. Hahaha sobrang complicated!! Good job with the scram review. 👍🏽
It was the tone mostly. The "I'm out to get XP!" excitement you had during your earlier videos is present again. Which makes me wonder if it was ever lost in your more recent posts :D But am I right?
@@outsideboundimages Haha man I love getting this perspective. That moment of getting up Marilaque and seeing the mist and loving it is a throwback! I think it's true, of course as you gain XP you start ignoring the "easy" stuff, and being on the intercom all the time means I'm not talking on the vlog as much. I think that's why riding different motorcycles is so fun as well, it changes the XP of a familiar ride! And the sign of a great bike is how much it creates that appreciation. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I have borrowed one a few days ago and that clutch is terribly hard and it was very uncomfortable due to this to drive this bike through the city traffic. Almost impossible to find neutral :D The seat at least is epically comfortable.
Very nice review. Thank you. I am subscribing in anticipation of your tour of the Himalayas. Will you be riding a Scram or the 'normal' Himalayan? I will be doing the same trip in September and will have the opportunity to ride both versions.
Thank you! Awesome ☺️ I’ll be riding the original Himalayan while my girlfriend will be taking the Scram, so we can swap and try out both as you plan to as well.
thx for the thorough review man, nicely done. one question i do have is for me, being just under 6'2" would you consider the scram 411 a bike that might be too cramped or did the removal of the liggage bars up front from the himalayan open it up enough that someone my height will no longer feel cramped riding the bike? those bars were the only thing on the himalayam.that bothered me when sitting on the bike, so the removal of them is welcomed, just curious if its enough ... thx for any info from anyone who can offer such ... cheers.
Ahh based on the footage I’ve seen of Spite, who is your height, on the Spite’s Corner channel, I think you may be right. You might also consider making the bike taller, I’ve seen others do this but not sure if it’s a replacement shock.
For my first bike, I'm trying decide between Svart 401 and a Himalayan 411 with a big bore kit + upgraded cam. Would that push the Hima to the top for a daily commuter/weekend warrior?
Hindi na siya bibilis talaga since wala nang dagdag na power, if mag-adjust man kaunti top speed walang extra "feeling" ng bilis or acceleration, kasi yun yung kulang talaga sa kanya.
Hi regards from Brazil. So, people are saying that this bike ita instable on the road in 100.. 120kmph... Thats true? I have a classic 350 and thinking change for scram because i want a bike more comfortable and stable on the road. The riding position its like a trail Cruise or more sporting position? (People are saying that himalayan its a perfect erect position but scram not... This no make sense because its the same bike...and scram it more shorter...

A 450cc Himalayan with a new design is coming.

@darylbates9953 do you mean town riding as city riding or country side riding ?
Greetings from Brazil! Great video... it had a lot of info without the tedious, never-ending blah blah blah from other youtubers. thank you! Oh, and also, clear English... that helps so much!
Glad it was helpful!
the genius of RE was to build a scrambler from an ADV base rather than a road bike!
Indeed! And selling it for cheaper than the ADV too!
Excellent and detailed review. Well done. I love my Himalayan and will seriously consider the Scram as a replacement.
TEC parts do an aftermarket cam, which addresses most of the overtaking issues with the Scram. Especially if you add a performance air filter to the mix.
Addition of Switchable ABS on rear wheels for more fun & Tubeless tires for easy fixing punctures will help Scram 411 more enjoyable.
For sure!
Great review! I bought this bike this weekend and it's a joy to ride.
Glad to hear!

I like your in depth review of the scram 411, really enjoyed the video
Glad to hear it!
Nice review. Based on your assessment of the scram 411, I think I will wait for the new Himalayan 450.
Which is fortunately closer to launch than ever! Expect a scrambler version of the 650 to come as well.
Great video you sure covered a lot and it was great watching.
Glad it was helpful!

If that’s based on the Himalayan 450 then expect quite a different character. Revvier, but ample power, and amazing handling.
I think a cam swap and air intake upgrade would pep this bike up for sure....i would upgrade the exhaust and ecu as well ...
Dude, excellent video, again and as expected. Information and views were helpful in my quest in buying one. Thanks.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching ☺️
It's going to be my trophy bike soon 💪
Yessss
Bro, i think we have the same problem.
I miss my Hima’s real adventure creds but wanting more power hence buying an INT650 then trying our best to make it as adventure as the Hima by modifying it to be a scrambler. Hahaha sobrang complicated!!
Good job with the scram review. 👍🏽
Di ba?? Hahaha, can't quite have it all yet, especially on a budget. Thanks for watching! :)
Aaron it was dam good vlog enjoyed it i'm still stuck at home due to rainy season missing to ride my new himalayan for second service
Thanks for watching!! Hope you get to ride soon ☺️
Nice bike brother love from India Assam♥️❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome review as always 👌
Thanks for watching!
Muy buen vídeo. Gracias por compartir detalles :)
Gracias por ver!
This feels like a classic RideXP video.
Interesting observation! Is it to do with the onboard talking? The length?
It was the tone mostly. The "I'm out to get XP!" excitement you had during your earlier videos is present again. Which makes me wonder if it was ever lost in your more recent posts :D But am I right?

@@Ride_XP Beginner's Mind. Always been a fan of your content!
Nice bike review sir! Very informative.
Happy to help ☺️
I'd need to try the new triumph 400 too
Same here!
More power to you sir💪
Thanks for watching ☺️

Good colors bro. Are you using ND filters on your cam? Btw, what camera are you using on your helmet?
For this review I think I was! ND8. I'm using a DJI Osmo Action 3 shooting in 10-bit. Looking to upgrade to the Action 4 now.
thx for the thorough review man, nicely done. one question i do have is for me, being just under 6'2" would you consider the scram 411 a bike that might be too cramped or did the removal of the liggage bars up front from the himalayan open it up enough that someone my height will no longer feel cramped riding the bike? those bars were the only thing on the himalayam.that bothered me when sitting on the bike, so the removal of them is welcomed, just curious if its enough ... thx for any info from anyone who can offer such ... cheers.

Eyy thanks for watching sir!
450 Himalayan is due to be released end of year.
Super excited for that! Spy shots look promising
Can we map the engine to increase the speed?
can it be flat footed for a 5'3 after using a lowering kit?
Hmm I'm not sure, maybe not flat footed but probably manageable
For my first bike, I'm trying decide between Svart 401 and a Himalayan 411 with a big bore kit + upgraded cam. Would that push the Hima to the top for a daily commuter/weekend warrior?
I have Svart 125. the siting position is a bit more leaned and it is overall a bit small. so Im switching to Scram or Himy. tho Svart is a great bike
hi, I know this is a video about the bike, but what is the jeep in the background? 😊
That's my 2021 Suzuki Jimny! :)
Pwd nmn palitan front sprocket para bumilis diba?
Hindi na siya bibilis talaga since wala nang dagdag na power, if mag-adjust man kaunti top speed walang extra "feeling" ng bilis or acceleration, kasi yun yung kulang talaga sa kanya.
@@Ride_XP i see,may nadaanan lang kadi aq boss s yt q n scram nag palit ng front sprocket lang..di q n mahanap eh..ok ok
Hintay ka lang konti bro lalabas na Himalayan 452 or Triumph Scrambler 400 X, onti lang dagdag presyo pero andun na yung power hehe
Will there be scram 440 or 450
