Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Official Logo Leaked

The upcoming Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will be based on the same platform that also underpins the current-gen Himalayan 450.

Royal Enfield is all set to launch a brand new 450 cc motorcycle and it might happen sooner than you think. It will be based on the same platform as the current-gen Himalayan 450, but unlike the ADV it will be more road-biased and will boast of a more toned-down appeal. We can confirm these details for spy shots of the bike in camouflage livery have been spotted several times before. Moreover, in all those instances, the bike was heralded by names like Hunter 450 or Roadster 450. However, we can put all those speculations to rest for the official logo of the bike has now been leaked online and it will be called the Guerrilla 450.

The spy shots also revealed several other details. For starters, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 might ride on alloy wheels, possibly 17-inch in diameter. And unlike the Himalayan 450, it will come equipped with a conventional telescopic fork to cut costs. The overall ergonomics will remain largely unchanged, so an upright riding posture supported by a wide handlebar, with slightly rear-set footpegs will be the set-up here.  

Mechanically, it will be powered by the same Sherpa 450 engine that RE debuted with the new Himalayan 450. The 40 bhp/40 Nm power/torque output will likely remain the same in the Guerrilla 450, albeit with subtle changes to the final drive, but mated to the same 6-speed gearbox. 

We are yet to get an exact date from Royal Enfield about the Guerrilla 450’s launch. It is likely to happen in the next few months. Once launched it will compete in the same league that includes the likes of the the Triumph Speed 400, Harley-Davidson X440, and Hero Mavrick 440.
