The upcoming Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 features a round headlight with sleek indicators. It has a muscular fuel tank and a round instrument cluster, which seems to be the same as the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450’s TFT, but with an offset placement. We can also see the radiator, a saree guard and a bash plate. Moreover, the front disc is placed on the left. The Guerrilla 450 is fitted with road-biased tubeless block-pattern tyres at both ends.
Launch date and Price
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is set to be launched on July 17, 2024 and the launch event will be held in Spain. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is priced between Rs 2.85 lakh to Rs 2.93 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and we think the Guerrilla 450 will cost around the Rs 2.6 lakh (ex-showroom) mark.
What We Know So Far?
The Upcoming Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is a blend of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Himalayan 450. At the front, the Guerrilla 450 features a triple clamp-mounted round headlight, fork covers and a rounded fuel tank design which resembles the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. That said, the fuel tank has an offset fuel cap, unlike the Hunter 350. At the rear, the sleek tail section with a contoured single-piece seat, slim tail light, indicators and exhaust looks very similar to the Himalayan 450.
The upcoming Guerrilla 450 is based on the Himalayan 450 and shares the same 452cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder Sherpa engine. On the ADV, the Sherpa engine produces 40PS and 40Nm. However, it could be tuned differently to suit the 450cc roadster.
It gets a telescopic fork with gaiters and a monoshock. It is expected to be fitted with 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends. We don’t know the exact specs as of now, but the bike will get disc brakes on both ends, with dual-channel ABS.
The Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 will compete with the Triumph Speed 400, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Hero Mavrick 440, Harley-Davidson X440, and the QJ Motor SRC 500.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 User Reviews
- my guerrilla 450I had to many optoins when it comes to mid range cc segment and goes for the budget and this stole my eye with the colours, the glare its has some charm that i wanted to hold and drive and honestly, its been great. Its been hell of a ride and i give it the best bike the enfield ever released the bike, I mean i'm not a guy who has issues with mileage or maintaince, but if you are it might be troublesome except that runs like a butter. Of course, if youre someone who wants to have a classic bike with power torque and i quote an indian brand cause i'm proud as hell while riding this beauty and beast, it gives butterflies not exaggerated.Read More
- Experience and Review of Guerrilla 450An excellent bike with solid engine. It has that attractiveness to fall in love. Compact size, big blast. I choose to experience this machine for its style, liquid cooled engine, TFT display, suspension and everything. Long rides does not feel boring on this machine. It definitely give good comfort, mileage depends on situation, 17-22 in traffic and 23-27 on highway. The torque it generates is just fabulous. It has given me upper hand in drag races. Would definitely recommend this bike to teenagers and those riders who wants to experience the feeling of driving Himalayan. This machine is a segment killer, no other bike can pair with it except its big sister Himalayan 450.Read More3

- 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 More4 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
