Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 launched at Rs 2.39 lakh

The Guerrilla 450 is based on the same platform as the Himalayan 450.

Royal Enfield has announced the launch of its new roadster bike, the Guerrilla 450. It is available in three variants with prices starting at Rs 2.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai).

The Guerrilla 450 is based on the same platform as the Himalayan 450, but there are a few differences. The upside-down fork has been replaced with a conventional telescopic unit. The riding position has also been tweaked to provide a sporty ride.

The Guerrilla 450 weighs 185 kg, 11 kg less than the Himalayan. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels and is fitted with a 310 mm disc at the front and a 270 mm disc at the rear.

Powering the Guerrilla 450 is the familiar ‘Sherpa 450’ engine. This single-cylinder, liquid-cooled unit puts out 39 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm @ 5,500 rpm. The bike does, however, get a bespoke engine and gearbox tune.

The Guerrilla 450 comes with a semi-digital instrument console with Tripper navigation or a full-TFT dash similar to the Himalayan 450. It is available in five colour options.
