Good news for parents who might be concerned with their teenager speeding , the 411 feels just right at 100km / h . As a 400 with big wheels , it definitely feels more stable than other LAMS machines . The suspension takes up most of the smaller bumps , but I did feel the bigger bumps in the road . Vibrations are manageable but the mirrors turn nigh on opaque , making it hard to see the traffic behind . Hitting the gravel , the low pegs made for a surprisingly comfortable ride . Concern for the rims and potholes made for a mostly steady ride at first , but I built up the confidence to get going between 60-80km / h on the dirt . The tyres proved quite good , with decent grip . I found the brakes needed a good squeeze on sealed roads , but on gravel they were perfect . My favourite feature of the Scram is the Tripper Navigation , which my phone connected to via
the Royal Enfield app on my phone . Any kind of route can be set , with as many waypoints to the final destination as wanted . This opens up lots of opportunities for adventure without the worry of getting lost . I used it to plan my route from Raglan down to Kawhia , Marakopa and on to Awakino . This is an awesome trip with stunning views , few cars and great roads – and the Scram was in its element . The Tripper software is a fun way to get some kilometres under the belt of learners and returning riders alike . The fuel economy is another sweet spot . After my 340km trip , the tank took 11 Litres ; that ’ s 3.3l / 100km , not at all thirsty ! Being a mid-capacity , budget commuter turned adventure bike , the Scram 411 is a fun option for someone looking for the best of both worlds . The 411 is economical to buy , economical to run and is perfect for steady , yet adventurous , trips up and down the country .
