However, the RE Scram is torquier by 4Nm. In reality, the Yezdi Scrambler takes the edge due to its lighter composition at 182kg, 3kg less than the 185kg of the Royal Enfield Scram 411.
- The Yezdi Scrambler comes with more sophisticated liquid cooling technology compared to the air-cooled of the RE Scram 411, owing to better performance and greater resistance to hotter conditions.

Author’s Take
On paper, the Yezdi Scrambler looks quite promising and has a good amount of features. It borrows its powertrain & underpinnings from Jawa motorcycles and we’ve seen customers complaining about it in the past. On the other hand, the Scram 411, is based on Royal Enfield’s tried-and-tested Himalayan platform.
