The Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield’s second 450cc motorbike, debuted globally in Barcelona, Spain, to great expectation.

A circular LED headlamp, elegant LED turn signals, ride modes, a sporty body design, and a slipper/assist clutch are some of the key features.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Performance : Specifications

Power : 40 PS
Torque : 40 Nm
Gearbox : Six-Speed

With a six-speed transmission, the powertrain generates a peak torque of 40 Nm and a maximum power of slightly over 40 PS. The Triumph Speed 400 is the primary rival of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, weighing 9 kg more. It is suspended on telescopic forks up front and an offset monoshock suspension system with pre-load adjustability down back. It has 17-inch black alloy wheels on both the front and rear. At 169 mm, there is ground clearance.
It does not use the more costly Showa USDs found on the Himalayan in order to save production costs, and this serves to effectively position the motorcycle aggressively in terms of pricing. The suspension has been adjusted with everyday usage and touring in mind, and the main frame is a modified version of the unit found in its dual-purpose adventure touring sister.
The entry-level Dash is priced at Rs. 2.49 lakh, the top-tier Flash model at Rs. 2.54 lakh, and the base Analog variant costs Rs. 2.39 lakh (ex-showroom).
