Okay, so I recently got my hands on a Royal Enfield Scram 411, and of course, one of the first things I wanted to do was see what she could really do. I mean, who doesn’t want to know the top speed of their new ride, right?
So, I picked a nice, long stretch of open road – safety first, folks! It was early morning, hardly any traffic. I made sure I had my helmet, gloves, the whole shebang. Gotta be responsible, even when you’re pushing the limits a little.
Gearing Up and Getting Ready
Before I even started, I did a quick check of the bike. Tire pressure, oil levels, made sure everything was tight and right. I’m no mechanic, but you gotta do the basics, you know?
The Run
- First Attempt:I eased into it, gradually opening the throttle. The Scram 411 isn’t built for raw speed, it’s more about that low-end torque, but I was still curious. I hit around, let’s say, 95-100 km/h, and it felt like it was starting to reach its limit. There was some vibration, the wind was really hitting me, and the engine was definitely working hard.
- Second Run:I tucked in a bit more, tried to get a little more aerodynamic. I pushed it a bit harder, and I managed to squeeze out a few more km/h. I think I saw the needle flicker around maybe 105 km/h, it might depend on road and other variants . But honestly, it felt like I was really pushing the bike to its absolute max.
The Wrap-Up
Look, the Royal Enfield Scram 411 isn’t a speed demon. It’s not designed to break any land speed records. It’s a scrambler, it’s meant for fun, for exploring, for that classic Royal Enfield feel. And that’s what I love about it. Trying to max it out, I realized, it is best way to enjoy my riding.
So, if you’re thinking of getting a Scram 411 and you’re obsessed with top speed, well, maybe look elsewhere. But if you want a cool, stylish, and fun bike that’s got a ton of character, the Scram 411 is definitely worth checking out. Just my two cents, from my little experiment!
