While many components are shared with the Himalayan, Royal Enfield appears to have primarily adapted the Guerrilla 450 for on-road use.
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.

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.
