The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is powered by a progressive 452cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled Sherpa engine, known for its exceptional performance in the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, With an output of 40 PS at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm, this powertrain delivers across the RPM band, with over 85% of torque available from as low as 3,000 rpm. Its steel twin-spar tubular frame offers stability and agility for easy maneuverability and light handling.
The 6-speed assist and slip clutch gearbox improve high-speed cruising comfort and safety. The water-cooling system maintains optimal temperature control with an integrated water pump, twin-pass radiator, and internal bypass.
The Guerrilla 450 features a robust build, purposeful angles, and muscular lines. Its stepped bench seat, LED headlights, and upswept silencer pay homage to the classic cafe racer aesthetic. The roadster also offers a comfortable upright stance with its low seat and mid-set footpegs, along with stability and confidence provided by the 43mm telescopic front fork and linkage-type mono-shock. Its 17-inch front and rear tubeless tires and 1440 mm wheelbase promise exceptional stability and control.
Delivering a dynamic riding experience, the Guerrilla 450 employs an ultra-responsive Engine Management System (EMS) and ride-by-wire technology. It has Performance Mode and Eco Mode, which allow you to adjust the throttle response accordingly.
The top and mid variants of the Guerrilla 450 come with the new Tripper Dash. This 4-inch infotainment cluster offers a simple and intuitive user interface and enhanced features like route recording, music control, weather forecasts, and comprehensive vehicle information through the Royal Enfield App. The Royal Enfield Wingman, available as an MIY feature, keeps riders connected with the motorcycle and Royal Enfield GRID support.
It’s important to note that the Guerrilla 450 was only released in Europe and India, with a North American release date to be announced in 2025.
