      Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 Custom – Modified To Race

      by

      Commissioned by Royal Enfield, this customized Scram 411 Supermoto edition was to debut at Glemseck 101 race meetRoyal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 CustomWith their simple, yet robust architecture, Royal Enfield bikes are easy to modify and can support a wide variety of body styles. Latest custom project involves Himalayan Scram 411 that has been transformed into a Supermoto racing machine. Commissioned by Royal Enfield, this custom project has been executed by Germany-based Crooked Motorcycles. Images are credited to Bike Exif.Key objective of this project was to showcase the creative prowess of team Crooked. The challenge was to achieve an entirely new look, without losing out on the core character of Himalayan Scram 411. Moreover, everything needed to be done in a time period of just three weeks.Himalayan Scram 411 Supermoto – SuperScramCustom-made SuperScram has such an unconventional design that calling it radical will be an understatement. Much of the bike’s body panelling has been removed and replaced with custom-made panels. The primary choice of metal here is aluminium, which is easy to mill into the desired shape. Unlike stock Scram 411 that has a curvy fuel tank and body panelling, SuperScram has straight-cut panels with sharp profile.Some deep-level modifications were performed such as removal of subframe and replacing it with a custom bodywork. The stock fuel tank has been entirely removed and there’s a new custom fuel tank built under the seat. It comes with a snazzy pop-up filler cap. The underseat fuel reservoir not only helps achieve a sleek look and feel, but also lowers the bike’s centre of gravity.Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 CustomAt front, the bike has bright Supernova LED headlight. Tail lights are custom-made and placed in the lower section of rear fender. Parts like license plate, speedometer and turn signals are missing on purpose, as this is more of a display machine.SuperScram aftermarket upgradesWhile the 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combo has been retained, SuperScram Supermoto gets Metzeler Sportec M9 tires. Scram 411 stock low-mounted fender has been replaced with a Husqvarna enduro unit. Suspension and braking apparatus have been retained, but the bike gets additional equipment such as Probrake levers and LSL handlebars. These help achieve a sportier look and feel.Other upgrades include short-stroke throttle, Biltwell Inc. grips and a CNC-machined start button seamlessly integrated into the bodywork. The saddle is another key highlight, which appears like a nano runway. The custom Alcantara seat stretches all the way from the steering head to the bike’s rear fender. It is functionally relevant though, as it allows easy movement of the rider. The bike gets a custom exhaust that runs parallel to the seat.Colour theme is predominantly black, with contrasting bits of yellow. The black shade comes in glossy finish across most parts. Components like the engine are also blacked out. There are no performance upgrades in this customization project.Source More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 500cc With Carbon Fibre Parts – Modified

      by

      Due to generous use of carbon fibre, this 500cc Ultimate Himalayan has a far better power-to-weight ratio than stock bikeRoyal Enfield Himalayan 500cc Custom by MotoExoticaADVs are all the rage right now among motorcycling enthusiasts. Lower down, we have Xpulse 200 by Hero MotoCorp and on top of it, we have Royal Enfield Himalayan. The latter rests in a niche by offering both off-road capable hardware and high-speed cruising. Something which XPulse 200 lacks.This segment offers the right amount of power and cruising ability and comes at a fair cost. Hence the popularity. With the modding community, Royal Enfields are the most preferred. Due to their timeless design language, stock RE bikes often come off as vanilla ice cream. It is a brilliant standalone but is compatible with unlimited flavours and additions.Uttarakhand-based MotoExotica headed by Arjun Raina has taken a stock Himalayan and went absolutely bonkers with it. Imagine a custom modding company based on the foothills of Himalayas and not modifying a Himalayan. While doing so, Arjun Raina left a souvenir on his prized creation in the form of a topographic view of Mount Everest on its fairing.500cc Ultimate Himalayan Custom BikeMost modifications are mostly limited to a wrap, custom paint scheme, and a bunch of aftermarket accessories and that’s about it. It is rewarding for those who take the extra step and create something truly spectacular. That is exactly what MotoExotica has done with this 500cc Ultimate Himalayan.Royal Enfield Himalayan 500cc Custom by MotoExoticaThe team has approached this stock Himalayan at all angles and has managed to radicalise the stock bike to its maximum. Starting with its engine, this is bored out to displace 500cc with the help of a big bore kit. Also fitted are a high lift cam, a programmable ECU and a custom exhaust with a carbon fiber tip.That is not the only place where Arjun Raina has used carbon fiber. All of its body panels including its knuckle guards, fuel tank and a custom fairing is made of carbon fiber which is cured in-house by MotoExotica. Himalayan’s stock rear subframe is replaced too. All of it combined will definitely have contributed to a lot of weight savings.The new face for 500cc Ultimate Himalayan custom bike is made out of carbon fiber that also holds its fuel tank, headlight and windscreen. Stock headlights are replaced by aftermarket LEDs. This custom motorcycle doesn’t seem to have turn indicators at front and rear. There is no need for blinkers if this custom bike is only for off-roading.Royal Enfield Himalayan 500cc Custom by MotoExoticaMechanical ChangesThere are a lot of mechanical changes to make this the Ultimate Himalayan in the world for off-roading. 21” front spoke wheel is retained and rear now gets an 18” instead of 17” from stock bike. Wrapped to these wheels are knobby tyres, aiding in grip when off-roading. Front now gets a 320mm disc with a 4-pot caliper.WP USD forks replace stock telescopic ones which get covers to keep muck away. The rear suspension now gets an adjustable mono-shock suspension. With added oomph and shedded weight, this 500cc Ultimate Himalayan by MotoExotica stays true to its name. To signify this, there is a G.O.A.T. sticker on its side panels along with Mount Everest’s topography decals. More

      RE Hunter 350 Street Tracker Custom Motorcycle Looks Alienist

      by

      Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Street Tracker is powered by the same 349cc J-Series engine as other 350cc stablematesHunter 350 Street TrackerIf there is one brand that motorcycle modders love, it is Royal Enfield. With a blank canvas to work on, a modder can get his vision down on a Royal Enfield and end up with a unique motorcycle. Royal Enfield motorcycles are very friendly to work on and change to extract different characters.One such modder, Okeasyshop, created a radical-looking Street Tracker motorcycle based on a newly launched Hunter 350. It gets a completely different face and looks a lot like an actual Street Tracker bike that Royal Enfield would have made. Let’s take a look.Hunter 350 Street TrackerStreet Tracker motorcycles are the ones that are track racers with just enough equipment on them to pass the regulations and be classified as street-legal motorcycles. Flat track racers are those motorcycles that take place on an unpaved track.This track is usually oval in shape and flat track racers don’t come with front brakes so racers could steer their vehicle with rear wheels. Street Trackers come with front brakes, though. To convert a stock Royal Enfield Hunter 350 into a street-legal Street Tracker, Okeasyshop has incorporated a lot of changes.RearFor starters, the headlight assembly is completely removed to incorporate a flat panel with some LEDs in them just to pass off as headlights. The LEDs are stacked vertically into two clusters that give the bike an alienist look. With the removal of headlight assembly, speedo is gone as well. It is shifted below the fuel tank towards its left facing upwards.This is done to keep the Hunter 350 Street Tracker looks without skimping on regulations. The stock handlebar is replaced by a taller one and front telescopic forks are replaced with USD forks finished in a golden shade. Viewing it from the right reveals a beautifully done custom exhaust that is upswept in its design.Custom Rear SubframeOther changes spotted are Nissin calipers to drop anchor better, a custom single-seat layout and an extremely minimal and tidy tail section. To mount this single-seat, Okeasyshop has modified the frame to have a bolt-on rear subframe. A custom rear subframe allowed the modder to also incorporate a monoshock instead of a dual shock absorber setup on a stock bike.SpeedoWith a free-flowing exhaust, Hunter 350 Street Tracker custom motorcycle is likely to perform a tad brisker than stock bike owing to weight savings. Stock Hunter 350 makes 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque from its 349cc engine. This mod was based on Hunter Metro variant and hence comes with alloy wheels. With around 15 new motorcycles brewing in Royal Enfield’s labs, should they consider incorporating a Street Tracker as well? Maybe.Source More

      Royal Enfield Scram 650 Rear Subframe Spied – Single Exhaust

      by

      When compared to Interceptor 650, RE Scram 650 will be considerably lighter owing to its single exhaustRoyal Enfield Scram 650Royal Enfield is currently expanding its 650cc portfolio apart from expanding its 350cc and 450cc portfolio. There was an internal document used in one of the meetings of Royal Enfield. That document got leaked online. It revealed that there are multiple new motorcycles planned for launch.One of these new motorcycles is a cruiser and a tourer which seem to be the recently revealed Super Meteor 650 and Super Meteor 650 Tourer. There was also a bobber, an ADV and a scrambler. There have been multiple sightings of a Royal Enfield Scrambler based on a 650cc platform. Test mules are spotted both overseas and also here in India. Recent test mules divulge further info on this upcoming RE Scram 650.RE Scram 650 Rear SubframeMechanically, upcoming scrambler by Royal Enfield is likely to be kept as is. A slight retune to suit a scrambler character is likely. This is a potent 648 cc parallel-twin engine that generates around 46 bhp and 52 Nm of torque. This is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and gets a slipper clutch and oil cooling.The chassis on which Royal Enfield’s 650cc platform is based will undergo slight modification to suit different characters of intended variations. On Scram 650, Royal Enfield has modified its rear subframe which gives it that much-needed scrambler aesthetic. There is a single-seat setup, which gets a ribbed pattern cover.Royal Enfield Scram 650Seating posture is fairly upright with a neutral riding posture. Footpeg placement for rider seems to be slightly rear set which should add that sense of sportiness. Handlebars and instrumentation seem to be lifted off the recently launched Hunter 350. A tripper screen was not found on this test mule and might be made standard with production-spec model.Hardware ComponentsOne of the main highlights of this upcoming RE Scram 650 is its single exhaust. It gets a different exhaust header rerouting exhaust gases into one channel. This will reduce weight considerably and make the motorcycle peppier, which is a win-win situation. According to the report, this new exhaust packed a lot of bass and was slightly louder as well.In terms of componentry, Royal Enfield is offering front USD forks and LED headlights like the ones found on Super Meteor 650. There is exposed wiring that seems to be testing new LED turn indicators.Royal Enfield Scram 650RE Scram 650 still rides on spoked wheels which seem to be 17” in size. Wrapped to these wheels are block pattern tyres that should ensure slight trailing capability. Given Royal Enfield’s extensive testing, Scram 650 seems to be far from launch. When launched, pricing might be around Rs. 3.5 lakh.Source More

      2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Scram Spied – New Details

      by

      Royal Enfield Scram 450 will get the same engine, chassis and most other hardware as Himalayan 4502023 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 ScramRoyal Enfield is taking its ‘four motorcycles a year’ strategy seriously. This year, we got the new Classic 350, Scram 411 and Hunter 350. They also unveiled Super Meteor 650, which will launch in Jan 2023. But what after that?Well, there are many new motorcycles planned for launch by RE. One of them is an all new Himalayan 450 and Scram 450. Of the two, it is the Scram 450 that has now been spied somewhere in Europe.2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Scram SpiedFor starters, Scram 450 will get a different design than Scram 411 which is currently on sale in India. It will also get a new 450cc engine mated to a new 6-speed gearbox. Even though Himalayan 450 is spotted with USD forks at front, Scram 450 still seems to get telescopic units.Himalayan 450 seems to be a more premium in comparison, and with recently spied Hero XPulse 400 on the horizon, things are only getting more interesting in the mid-size ADV segment.2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 ScramAlso, Himalayan 450 gets split seats and a different riding triangle than a single-piece seat on Scram 450. The frame will be sturdier than on Scram 411 and performance will be enhanced too. This new 450cc engine is likely to make around 30 bhp and 40 Nm of torque whereas the old 411cc engine used to make 24 bhp and 32 Nm.New RE Himalayan Scram 450 will get a host of electronic goodies like ride-by-wire, riding modes, and a tripper display for Bluetooth connectivity and navigation. It also gets alloy wheels with block-pattern tyres typically found on scrambler-style bikes. Whereas Himalayan 450 will get spoked wheels with AT tyres.Launch & CompetitionRoyal Enfield has not yet revealed any official info regarding the launch timeline. But looking at the recent test mule, it does look in a near-production-ready state. Plus it had minimal camouflage and most of the bodywork can be seen. We expect Scram 450 sometime next year. Maybe EICMA 2023?When launched, Scram 450 will be a much superior product to Scram 411. And it will be a more worthy opponent to Yezdi Scrambler, KTM 390 and Hero might also launch a scrambler-style XPulse 300T in the future.Source More
