The Guerrilla 450 from Royal Enfield can be described as a Himalayan 450 with a premium roadster upgrade. Sharing many components with the Himalayan, it aims to carve a niche in the premium roadster category.
The heart of the Guerrilla 450 is the '452cc Sherpa' engine, delivering 40 PS at 8,000 rpm and 40 NM of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. Despite similarities, the engine has been tuned differently to suit its roadster character.
- 6-speed gearbox with assist and slip clutch
- 17-inch front and rear tubeless tires
- 1440 mm wheelbase
- 43mm telescopic front fork
- Linkage-type mono-shock at the rear
The Guerrilla 450 features Performance Mode and Eco Mode for different riding experiences. It also boasts a stepped bench-seat, an 11-litre fuel tank, LED headlights, integrated tail lamp trafficators, and an upswept silencer.
Top and mid variants get the new Tripper Dash with the RE app, featuring route-recording capabilities. Variants include Analogue, Dash, and Flash, each offering unique specifications and color options.
Analogue: Smoke Silver and Playa Black (without TFT cluster)
Dash: Playa Black (with TFT display)
Flash: Yellow Ribbon and Brava Blue (top specs)
While the Guerrilla 450 is more expensive than some key rivals, it promises a nimble ride with its lighter weight compared to the Himalayan and its typical roadster design.
Analogue: Rs 2.39 lakh
Dash: Rs 2.49 lakh
Flash: Rs 2.54 lakh
The Guerrilla 450’s smaller tank size is more suited for city riding. It’s perfect for those seeking a grown-up Hunter or a more approachable Himalayan with a lower seat height.
