Launch pricing on the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is Rs 2.39 lakh, ex-showroom. With the Guerrilla 450, the business is venturing into the sub-500cc sector for the first time with their street naked motorbike.
First of all, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450’s design is reminiscent of a classic modern-retro motorbike. You have an 11-liter teardrop-shaped gasoline tank, a circular LED headlight, and a comparatively narrow tail portion. The pillion has a beautifully fitted tubular grab grip and a single-piece seat. The bike has a nice overall appearance and is available in a number of colors, some of which are really striking.
The colors are divided into three categories: Analog, Dash, and Flash. Yellow Ribbon and Brava Blue are the colors assigned to the Flash version. Smoke and Playa Black are included in the Analogue version, while Gold Dip and Playa Black are part of the Dash variety.
A 452cc single-cylinder engine producing 40Nm at 5,500 rpm and 39.50 horsepower at 8,000 rpm powers the bike. There is a six-speed gearbox attached to it.
The Guerrilla 450’s steel tubular frame employs the engine as a stressed member. Now let’s talk about the hardware. A preload-adjustable monoshock with 150mm of wheel travel and a 43mm telescopic fork with 140m of travel support the frame. The bike has huge, 160-section tires in the back and a 120-section tire up front on 17-inch wheels. The tires on them are Ceat Gripp XL.
A 310mm disc with a twin piston caliper at the front and a 270mm disc with a single piston caliper at the back are responsible for the braking. ABS with dual channels is standard.
The Guerrilla 450 has a large ground clearance of 169mm and a long wheelbase of 1440mm. It weighs 185 kg at curb weight, making it heavier than rival models like the Triumph Speed 400.
The bike’s features include all-LED lights. The top version has Google-based navigation, a TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, and the color of the Himalayan. It also receives the same ride modes. On the other hand, the standard model features an optional Tripper navigation pod along with an analog-digital instrument cluster.
As previously reported, the Analogue variant has a price tag of Rs 2.39 lakh, while the mid-spec Dash variant has a price tag of Rs 2.49 lakh, ex-showroom. In contrast, the Flash model will cost you Rs 2.54 lakh, ex-showroom.

The base price of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is ₹ 2,39,000, while the most expensive variant is Rs. 2,54,000. These prices are for India, ex-showroom. Between the three versions—Analogue, Dash, and Flash—the instrument cluster and color palettes are the main differences.
While the Dash and Flash get the full-digital Trippr Dash, the Analogue model will receive a standard analogue-digital instrument cluster with an optional Trippr navigation device. Only the color options separate Dash and Flash from one another. Smoke, Playa Black, Gold Dip, Yellow Ribbon, and Brava Blue are the five available colors. There are two variations of Playa Black: Analogue and Dash.
The 452cc liquid-cooled Sherpa engine powering the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is the same as that of the Himalayan, although it is tuned differently. Nonetheless, the 40 BHP and 40 Nm of torque power output remain same. Performance and Eco are the two riding modes; however, unlike the Himalayan, the ABS is not switchable. The motorcycle has a 6-speed gearbox and weighs only 185 kg curb weight.
The Guerrilla and the Himalayan share the same chassis; however, because it is a split unit, modifications have been made to the head stock and rear section to accommodate a larger approach and roadster configuration. It retains the Himalayan’s headlamp and taillight configuration.
For the Gurriella, Showa controls suspension with a mono shock with linkage at the back and a 43 mm telescopic arrangement up front with 140 mm of travel. A 310 mm single disc up front and a 270 mm disc in back are responsible for handling braking.
The chunkiest tires ever offered on an Indian motorbike in this price range are also fitted to this Royal Enfield. The front tire is 120/70/17, while the rear tire is 160/60/17. There are no spoke wheel options and 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends.
With a seat height of only 780 mm, the Gurriella is far more approachable than the Himalayan. The seat is shorter than the Himalayan and is made of a single piece. The Guerrilla uses a 15/45 sprocket set, whilst the Himalayan uses a 15/47 set. This indicates that the last gear sprocketing is also different.
A contemporary roadster with block pattern tires that can perform daily tasks and attempt some off-road driving has replaced the dream of a scrambler. Is the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 on your shortlist for your upcoming purchase, or did you add it after it was released?
