Quick Comparison: Yezdi Scramber Or Royal Enfield Scram 411, Which One Is Better?

We all have heard the word ‘Scrambler‘ but do you know what exactly it is and how this concept came into existence in the first place? If not, we are here to help you out.

So, let’s do some time travel. A few years ago, people in England used to race and interestingly, the track they used for such purposes wasn’t exactly a track. It was the streets, the highways and whatever comes in between (be it rough terrain, rocky surface, flowing stream, slippery mud etc). Keeping in mind, the difficulty a rider may face during such events, the gentlemen out there used to modify their regular bikes to something that can tackle these tricky terrains. Nostalgic enough! Well, that’s how the ‘Scrambler’ segment was born.

Recently, two prominent bike manufacturers including Royal Enfield and Yezdi have entered an entry-level scrambler segment. Since both of them are best in what they do, people are confused if they should buy the all-new Scram 411 or Yezdi’s Scrambler. We are always excited about such closer rivalries and therefore, let’s compare both these bikes to find out which one is better and why.

Yezdi Scrambler

Yezdi recently made a comeback with three new models, including Adventure, Scrambler and Roadster. Now, directly coming to the Scrambler, it looks well-proportioned with some model-specific styling elements. The bike manufacturer has priced it at Rs.2.04 Lakh onwards (ex-showroom, Delhi), which also makes it a perfect rival to the new Scram 411.

Unlike Royal Enfield, Yezdi has decided to pack the Scrambler with all sorts of modern features. To begin with, it is equipped with an LED headlamp, fully digital rider’s display (LCD), ride modes and a dual-channel ABS. Thankfully, the headlights on the Scrambler is covered with a grille. Well, it does the job of protecting and styling simultaneously.

At the heart, it gets a potent 334cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. Just to make sure, it is a liquid-cooled motor with an overall output rated at 29.1PS and 28.2Nm of peak torque. For transmission duties, Yezdi has even deployed a -speed gearbox for enhanced performance.

To conclude, Yezdi Scrambler is coupled with capable brakes, off-road capable tyres and reliable shock absorbers that make it one of the most capable scrambler bikes available in India.

Royal Enfield Scram 411

Available with an introductory price tag of Rs.2.03 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi), Scram 411 does make sense in the real world. Also, Royal Enfield just wanted to offer a practical version of Himalayan and according to us, the Indian brand did a commendable job.

Earlier, just to retain the old school look, the bike manufacturer used to skip many useful features. In recent times, things have changed and thankfully, for a good. Similar to what we get on the new Himalayan, even Scram is loaded with a semi-digital instrument cluster, fuel gauge, dual-channel ABS and Tripper Navigation (optional).

A palette full of exciting shades has also made its world debut. To name a few, Graphite Yellow, Skyline Blue, Sliver Spirit, Graphite Blue, Blazing Black and White Flame and Graphite Red are a part of this new palette.

Power on the new Scram comes from a very reliable 411cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. Royal Enfield claims that it uses a fuel-injection technology to propel a decent output that lies somewhere around 24.3 PS and 32Nm. Transmission duties, on this new bike, is still managed by a 5-speed gearbox. This way, we can say that the entire setup available with the Scram 411 is tried and tested.

Conclusion

Yezdi is still in revival mode and hence, Royal Enfield with more touchdown points and better after-sales service make more sense. The all-new Yezdi Scrambler is in no way inferior to Scram 411. So, just in case, after-sales service isn’t a big parameter for you, one can even go with the Yezdi Scrambler any day.
