Royal Enfield is set to unveil a new model, Guerrilla 450, which is to be equipped with the potent 450cc engine that is currently fitted to the Himalayan 450, although the Guerrilla will certainly have a different character. Recently, the bike was spotted undergoing road tests, and it is now clear that Royal Enfield intends to make the bike lighter and sportier, as well as more suited to the city and less to off-road riding.
Design – Urban Bold, Streamlined
As opposed to the adventure-oriented Himalayan 450, the Guerrilla 450 is a street-friendly roadster. The bike sports a round LED headlight, but the rest of the bike is more aggressive and sporty. It has a more compact and muscular fuel tank, a single-piece flat seat, and the rear is shorter with a minimalist taillight. The bike looks sharper and leaner and is more agile for the riders who prefer a bold statement while commuting and on the occasional long drive.
Engine — Same Heart as Himalayan, Tuned for the City
The Himalayan 450 continues to share the 452cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with the Himalayan 450. This engine produces around 40 PS (horsepower) and 40 Nm of torque. Royal Enfield may slightly modify the tuning to better smoothen throttle response and performance in stop-go city traffic. This provides ample power for weekday riding and city commuting as well as for weekend trips.
Chassis & Suspension — Lighter and Easier to Handle
The Guerrilla 450 features a dramatically new chassis which serves as one of the highlights of the bike itself. Unlike the Himalayan which has a heavier chassis, the Guerrilla 450 gains a new, more simplistic and lighter chassis which is more suited for city riding and quick maneuvering. The rest of the suspension may be less sophisticated as well, with the possibility of telescopic forks replacing the USD forks in front. This adds to the Guerrilla being able to effortlessly tackle traffic, be more maneuverable, and to provide a relaxed position better suited for everyday riding.
The Blend Of Vintage And Modern
Some cutting-edge characteristics that come with the Guerrilla 450 include:
- A full LED lighting headlight, tail, and indicator light.
- A digital instrument cluster, possibly with Bluetooth like the Himalayan TFT display
- The cluster may have additional features like riding modes and traction control, although information is not yet confirmed.
- The digital cluster blends the Royal Enfield round headlamp with sleek modern minimalism.
- Equipped with Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield intends the bike to have an urban city-centric focus.
- Evolution of the design will most likely have a sharp modern aesthetic.
- Comfortably upright riding position
- Easier maneuverability, more responsive in tight spaces, slimmer, and less heavy.
- More invigorating style appealing to a younger demographic, slimmer and stubble.
- Reduced curb weight to Himalayan 450 will allow more effortless turns, and aid in tight spaces.
Price And Released Date
Guerrila 450 is first expected to be released in late 2024 to early 2025. Constructed with a less complex styling than the Himalayan 450, the bike should be competitively priced under 2.7 lakh, making it a desirable and accessible motorcycle with a powerful sleek design tailored for the city.
