Key Updates and Features
The updated Scram 440 retains its 443cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, now producing 25.4 bhp and 34 Nm of torque. Significant enhancements have been made to the engine to reduce NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) levels, and the bore has been increased by 3mm for better performance.
Here’s what’s new in the Scram 440:
- 6-Speed Gearbox: The older 5-speed gearbox has been replaced with a 6-speed unit for improved highway performance.
- Switchable ABS: Enhances safety and rider control, now standard across both variants.
