The new Guerrilla 450 is available in three variants - Analogue, Dash and Flash.

Royal Enfield has finally taken the wraps off the Guerrilla 450 – its brand-new 450 cc offering, after the Himalayan 450. Priced from ₹2.39 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards, the new Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will be available in three variants – Analog, Dash, and Flash. The prices for the top variant goes up to ₹ 2.54 lakh (ex-showroom).

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Engine and Transmission

Powering the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is the same ‘Sherpa 450’ mill which is Royal Enfield’s first liquid-cooled, 452 cc, single-cylinder engine that makes the same 39.7 bhp/ 40 Nm as it does in the ADV. Royal Enfield has stated that the throttle response has been changed slightly for better initial pickup. Does it really do so? Wait for our review, dropping on July 27.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Dimension

It’s here where the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 looks and reads differently. For starters, it is a lot more compact and lower than the Himalayan. The 1440 mm wheelbase is 70 mm shorter than the ADV and with a seat height of 780 mm (45 mm lower than the Himalayan 450), the roadster is far more accessible.

One of the biggest noticeable changes here is the 11-litre fuel tank, which is six litres less than its ADV counterpart, thus emphasising that it’ll be more of a city bike. It rides on 17-inch alloys shod with chunkier than usual 120/70- and  160/60-section radial dual-purpose tyres, specially developed for the Guerrilla by Ceat. According to Royal Enfield, the block pattern is mainly a style requirement and doesn’t serve much functional purpose.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Suspension And Brakes

The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is built around the same trellis frame chassis that debuted with the Himalayan 450 but with changes to the steering geometry and suspension components. For starters, the rake angle is quite a lot steeper: 21.8 degrees on the Guerrilla vs 25.8 degrees on the Himalayan. As previously mentioned, the wheelbase is 70 mm shorter. The frame is suspended on a 43 mm telescopic fork with 140 mm travel and a linkage-type monoshock suspension with 150 mm of travel. The brakes are smaller too in the Guerrilla 450 with a 310 mm ventilated disc with a double piston caliper at the front, and a 270 mm ventilated disc with a single-piston caliper at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is available across all variants as standard but it isn’t switchable here like on the Himalayan.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Features

Carrying forward the novel introductions from the Himalayan 450, the newly launched Guerrilla 450 will also feature the same 4-inch round TFT instrument cluster with phone connectivity, full map navigation (powered by Google Maps), and media controls. However, this cluster is available with the Dash and Flash variants only. The base Analog variant gets the digi-analog cluster that is available with the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 as well. With this cluster, the Royal Enfield is also offering the Tripper pod navigation display as an optional add-on.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Competition

With ex-showroom prices starting from ₹ 2.39 lakh, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is quite competitively priced. In this price range, it will rival the likes of the Triumph Speed 400, Harley-Davidson X440, and the Hero Mavrick 440. How will it fare against this competition? Stay tuned to this space to find out.
