Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 launch on July 17

Royal Enfield has officially announced the launch of the Guerrilla 450, scheduled for July 17 in Barcelona. The announcement was made by Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director, and Govindarajan Balakrishnan, CEO of the company.

Previous spy shots have already hinted at the hardware on the upcoming Guerrilla 450. For those who couldn't follow our previous coverage, here is a brief summary of the information we currently have. The shots have revealed features such as a single-pod instrument console, a round LED headlight, a sizable fuel tank, and a one-piece seat. 

 

 

It remains to be seen whether the single-pod console will be similar to the TFT display available on the Himalayan. The tank and tail sections bear resemblance to the Himalayan 450, suggesting a carryover design. Unlike the Himalayan's spoked wheels and tube tyres, the new bike is equipped with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. Furthermore, it replaces the USD fork seen on the Himalayan with a gaitered telescopic fork.

 

 

Additionally, it will utilise the same Sherpa 450 engine that powers the Himalayan. The tuning of the engine in the Guerrilla 450 remains to be confirmed. In the Himalayan, the 452cc single-cylinder engine generates 40hp and 40Nm of torque and is coupled with a 6-speed gearbox. Stay tuned for any further information as we approach this highly anticipated date.
