BREAKING: New Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Launched: Gets A New Sportier Variant
The changes should significantly improve Guerrilla’s fun quotient
The updated Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has been launched in India, and it has quite a few important changes. There’s also a new Apex variant that has a different styling as compared to the standard variant. Here’s everything that’s new on the roadster:
How Much It Costs
The standard variant gets a new colour option called Twilight Blue, which is priced at Rs 2,49,194 (ex-showroom).
The new Guerrilla 450 Apex is priced at Rs 2,49,194 (ex-showroom, Chennai). As of now, this is an intoductory pricing to celebrate 125 years of Royal Enfield, and 1,25,000 units sold globally of the Sherpa platform. This Apex variant is available in three colours – Apex Red, Apex Green & Apex Black. The Apex Red shade is the most affordable at Rs 2,49,194, while the other two colour options cost Rs 2,56,387 (all prices ex-showroom).
Colours To Look Out For
-
The new Twilight Blue colour offers a premium appeal keeping inline with Guerrilla's roadster characteristics.
-
The Apex Red has a simple red shade across the tank, side panels, and the seat cowl, while the model name and brand badging is in white.
-
The Apex Green has a dual-tone paint scheme – teal and light green. The tank is in teal colour with green graphics, the side panels are also teal. The model name on the side panels, brand logo and the rims are finished in light green shade.
-
The Apex Black features a combination of red, black, and white colours. This finish is similar to the Yellow Ribbon colour option in the standard variant. The rim strips are in a combination of red and ash finish.

What Is It?
The new Guerrilla 450 offers two distinct characters, depending on the variant you pick. The standard variant comes with more upright ergonomics and block-pattern tyres. This should allow you to ride more comfortably, and take on broken roads easily.
The Apex, with its lower and further handlebar, is sportier. To add to its sporty nature, it has a new cowl on top of the headlight and a removable pillion seat cover. Check out how the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 looks in real-life.
Numbers That Matter

780mm seat height should be easily accessible even for the shorter riders
-
It gets an 11-litre fuel tank, which might result in more frequent fuel stops

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 User Reviews
- good condition and nice looksExcellent bike and this bike give more comfortable while driving long journey, and also bike suspensions are so good at village roads, it feels like going on highway, the head light drl so good at night time, that speedometer design also very unique in this bike, too honestly i'm satisfied with this awesome bike.Read More1
- Its amazing. Dont think too much, just get oneIt is a beautiful bike- that never feels boring. The acceleration is undefeatable! and while it is sporty, it is surprisingly practical too. It's neither too heavy nor too tall, unlike the Himalayan. Its an absolute attention grabber and I love the colour I chose (brava blue). To sum it up- I chose this bike because it was beautiful, it was fast and it seemed practical enough for my use. I use this bike as my daily, and it has never failed me. It feels stable, planted, easy to manage. It always feels like i'm in control, I have not had a feeling of anxiety that it'll wobble, slip or be uncontrollable even once that I have ridden this bike even on high speeds. The fat rear tyre makes me confident even in rain. the feels grippy even on wet roads, loose gravel- though the bike did splash water on my back in rain, I just got the rear mudguard extender from Enfield and now it's not a problem, though I believe it should've been company fitted. The suspensions are comfortable for daily use, and even in Ghaziabad's bumpy roads I almost do not feel a thing. The engine yearns to red line, the bike wants to go fast and I love it every time I pull the throttle. The mileage is reasonable, with 25 on normal city commute (in power mode, using eco mode pushes that up to around 28. I can manage to get 32 if I ride carefully, maintaining gears to keep the engine at 4-5k rpm and not pulling the throttle/ yanking the breaks unnecessarily) It does get hot in the summers, but honestly I can smell the engine getting hot more than I feel it. Its hard to explain really, but hot air does not blow on my leg when riding so that's good, occasionally the win direction may align and the hot air may blow onto your face- but again thats rare. I am a bit conflicted on highway rides, because it is fun to ride on the highway, but the seat does make your buns feel sore after a while, but its manageable. highway mileage is around 28-29 in power mode, and around 30-32 in eco mode. I would recommend this bike everybody over any other bikes in this segment (except the adv tourers, if you can manage them ofcourse). Anyone can buy this bike if i'm being honest, Its fun, its not tall, its not heavy, its not too expensive to maintain, the breaks are reliable, Its stable, the riding posture is good, and its not scary to ride. you connect with the bike in the first ride. I love it, and i'm pretty sure you'll love it too. just go for it.Read More3 4
- One of the best bikes in segment!!!!I chose this because it's different from classic royal enfield bikes, it has better performance for city riding lighter weight, excellent acceleration a balanced bike with 450cc engine, ideal for smooth city riding and some adventure too just love it. My experience with this bike is lovely, it's my 2nd bike earlier I owned 125cc upgrading to 450cc just feels magical it offers smooth riding with enough torque and power to gap almost every vehicle on road. I like it's fast acceleration it offers a whole different experience for royal enfield bikes. Yes absolutely, I would recommend you to buy this if you are looking for 450cc segment than this is the best bikes, ngl ideally for daily riding or even if you want to ride on hilly areas it offers a smooth experience 40N/m torque will let you experience dominance on road.Read More4 2
- This is a great bike which never disappoint riderI was looking perfect combo of performance and the retro look of royal enfield. That's when I came accross this bike guerilla 450 a perfect combination of style, performance, looks, features. If someone is looking for an upgrade they must consider it. Pros that the power of 40 bhp can be actually feel while riding the initial pull on second gear and the bike goes insanely fast.this bike also got full tft display which several useful features such as navigation, etc cons of this bikes are its has low mileage as it's 450 but it also got lower fuel tank capacity which leads to frequent fuel stops. the initial low end torque of all the gears except 1st gear is way less. If someone is trying to upgrade their bike from 200 or 350 cc they must give it a try.This bike never disappoints in terms of performance, style and road presence. except for its lower mileage and less fuel capacity this bike is really worth the priceRead More6 2
