Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 – July 17

Royal Enfield’s second model on the ‘Sherpa 450’ engine  – the Guerrilla 450 will be launched on July 17. Although based on the same platform as the Himalayan 450, the Guerrilla 450 will slot below the ADV and will compete against other retro roadsters like the Triumph Speed 400, for example. It is expected to launch with an aggressive price tag, and as a result of that several cost-saving measures have been taken to make it less premium than its adventure sibling. For starters, it will equip a telescopic fork, not a USD fork, and instead of the fully-digital colour-TFT instrument cluster, the Guerrilla 450 will get the semi-digital instrument cluster from the Super Meteor 650.
