Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: How Is It Different From The Himalayan 450?
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 comes equipped with an LED headlight, tail light and indicators. The base Analogue variant features the semi-digital instrument cluster from the Super Meteor 650, and the Tripper display with turn-by-turn navigation is optional. Whereas the mid and top variants come with a round 4-inch TFT instrument console from the Himalayan 450, with smartphone connectivity, full-screen Google Map navigation and music controls. The 450cc roadster also comes with two ride modes (Eco and Power) and a USB type-C charging port.
Built on a steel tubular frame, the Guerrilla 450 gets a 43mm telescopic fork with 140mm wheel travel and a link-type monoshock with 150mm wheel travel. The roadster rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, wrapped with a 120-section front and a 160-section rear Ceat Gripp XL tyre, both of which are obviously tubeless.
The Guerrilla has a 1440mm wheelbase, 70mm shorter than the Himalayan 450. Its 169mm ground clearance is 61mm less, and the 780mm seat height is 45mm lower. Weighing 185kg, it’s 11kg lighter. It has an 11-litre fuel tank, which is 6 litres less, and a 191kg payload capacity, 7kg less than the Himalayan 450.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: What Is The Same As Himalayan 450?
The new Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is equipped with the same 452cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder Sherpa engine as the Himalayan 450, producing a peak output of 40.02PS at 8000rpm and 40Nm at 5500rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch.
The Guerrilla 450 gets the same braking setup as the Himalayan 450 as well. However, the front disc at 310mm is 10mm smaller and a 270mm rear disc is same, with dual-channel ABS as standard. That said, the rear ABS isn’t switchable on the Guerrilla 450, like it is on the Himalayan 450.
BikeDekho Says:
The Guerrilla 450 is meant to be a more affordable and easier-to-ride option within Royal Enfield’s 450cc platform. Unlike the Himalayan 450, which is a large and bulky ADV with a wide turning radius, the Guerrilla 450 offers a more accessible and practical alternative for everyday use. It will also be the cheapest liquid-cooled Royal Enfield bike to date, appealing to young buyers and those who want tasteful roadster styling with good performance.

- 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
