Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Guerrilla 450 And Scram 440 New Prices After GST Cuts - Could Increase By Rs 20,000
Sad news, isn’t it? You may be able to save with one trick, but that depends on your luck
The prices of the Royal Enfield Scram 440, Guerrilla 450 and the Himalayan 450 will go up by almost Rs 21,000 as per Royal Enfield, with GST 2.0 coming into effect from September 22, 2025. The new tax rate is 40 percent for motorcycles above 350cc (up from the existing 28% with an additional 3% cess). Here’s a detailed breakdown of the prices of all the 3 models:
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is known to be a capable value-for-money do-it-all adventure bike. It is offered in 3 variants, and here’s a detailed table on the current prices and the increase:
|

Now, with the GST 2.0 rates, the Himalayan 450 breaches Rs 3 lakh mark for the first time. Prospective buyers may be put off by the psychological barrier of Rs 3 lakh - especially considering the on-road price will be even more.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is offered in three variants, and with the new GST rate, prices could rise by up to Rs 18,000. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

The Guerrilla 450 is a great motorcycle for the price you pay as you get plenty of performance wrapped in a roadster package. The biggest drawback is that it comes with a rather small 11-litre fuel tank - which makes it a bit tricky to use for touring.
While the price hike is a letdown, buyers may have to find comfort in the fact that it (base variant) will still be more affordable than the Triumph Speed 400, in the new GST regime.
Royal Enfield Scram 440
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is offered in two variants. The price will increase up to Rs 15,000 with GST 2.0. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
|
Variant |
Current Ex-Showroom Delhi Price (In Rs) |
Change (In Rs) |
New Ex-showroom Delhi Price (In Rs) |
|
Trail |
2,08,000 |

The trail variant comes with spoke wheels and tube tyres, whereas the Force variant gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. The Royal Enfield Scram 440 was launched as a successor to the Scram 411, with a larger bored-out engine. It is a 443cc, air and oil-cooled, single-cylinder motor producing 25.4PS and 34Nm
The Scram 411 really needed a 6th gear to unlock its touring potential, and Royal Enfield did exactly that with the Scram 440. While it may not be as affordable as the Scram 411 under the new GST scheme, the hike will still be manageable for most of its buyers, and may not be that big a deal-breaker as such.
While it is sad to see all these performance-packed bikes get costlier, there’s one temporary solution to this: If you purchase any of these bikes, pay the full amount and get it delivered before the deadline, you may be able to save up substantially. If you manage to do that, then you can spend the money saved on fuel or maintenance or even riding gear.
User Reviews
- 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 More
- 2 years review of Royal Enfield Himalayan 450Purely because of Royal Enfield reliability Upgrading from a 2015 classic 350 to Himalayan 450 is a massive difference, Literally is built for no roads. Feels like a bigger bike compared to previous generations. Bigger tank unlocks better highway travels. Positive about the bike is the Ride has been the smoothest the engine is very responsive in a good way. It is aggressive when you need it to be the plush suspension lets you move on and off road freely without any issues. Can be easily managed in traffic. Really good on the highways excellent seat comfort for the rider and the pillion for city travel as well as long highway travelling. Can be used as a daily commuter bike in city Negative about the bike Should have had the option for cruise control and quick shifter for better riding experience. I will definitely recommend this bike to the person who can firstly handle such a tall and heavy bike With great power comes great responsibility so if it is going to the first ever bike i will recommend to start riding the bike in eco mode to first get a hang of power and throttle responseRead More
- Bikers storyStylish design with bold looks, better options good height of the seat. The seat is very comfortable. I like the suspension of the bike, it's very comfortable in the hilly areas it also suits good with Indian road conditions. My ride so far was very comfortable with scram 440 with better mileage good suspension quality and the seat quality which makes it better for long rides the mileage also is quite well and the power which it creates makes it a unique one. Yes, I would like to personally recommend bike for adventure lovers, full like to take the bikes on the long tours and the rough terrain where there are silly roads where it challenge the bike and it will give you hundred percent result.Read More
