    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy Shots Leaked Online

    New Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 SpiedThe Roadster style Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will rival the likes of Speed 400, Honda CB300R, Yezdi Roadster, Harley X440 and Mavrick 440Ahead of launch, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 (previously speculated to be called either Scram 450 or Roadster 450) test mules have been making rounds around company’s facilities in Tamil Nadu. The recent images of upcoming Guerilla 450 show the bike in utmost clarity and it seems to very close to production. Let’s take a look.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy Shots EmergeIndia’s most successful and iconic classic bike manufacturer, Royal Enfield, has stepped into a new era of engineering capabilities with the launch of Himalayan 450. This motorcycle debuted a capable new platform powered by Sherpa 450 engine. Second instalment of the RE 450 saga will emerge in the form of Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy ShotsThere have been multiple instances of Guerrilla 450 sightings from the past couple of years now. Royal Enfield has been developing Guerrilla 450 alongside Himalayan 450. However, only the Himalayan 450 has broken covers and Guerrilla 450 has yet to.Recent spy shots from Drivespark are some of the clearest and show many new attributes that were not visible in previous spy shots. For starters, we can see a new fuel tank, which is different to the one we saw on Himalayan 450. So capacity is likely to be less than 17L seen on Himalayan 450.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy ShotsThere is quite a bit of camouflage seen on the bike to hide its identity. But the bike’s main frame and subframe are exposed and are almost identical to that of Himalayan 450, sans the added structures to mount luggage, panniers and the likes.Royal Enfield Scram 450 (Guerrilla 450) RenderChanges in componentry include RSU telescopic front forks with gaiters, a roadster-style handlebar, a single-piece seat, along with smaller wheels than Himalayan. These wheels, however, are alloy wheels and come fitted with road-biased tubeless tyres. Also, they’re fatter than Himalayan’s too.What to expect?Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 lacks a front windshield and the beak. Overall design fits the Roadster genre perfectly and is a handsome-looking machine. Round ORVMs, round LED headlights lend it that necessary neo-retro look. Other cycle parts like fancy swingarm and large disc brakes with dual channel ABS are seen on Guerrilla 450 as well.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Logo TrademarkedPowering the bike, we have the same Sherpa 450 engine. This engine is the first from Royal Enfield to pack modern engineering like DOHC 4V head and liquid cooling. 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle and other attributes are first for any single-cylinder Royal Enfield too.Source More

    Top 5 Changes In Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Over Himalayan 450

    Royal Enfield Scram 450 (Guerrilla 450) RenderThe neo-retro Roadster appeal of Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 puts it against rivals like Speed 400, X440, Mavrick 440, CB300R and othersSticking to its four launches per year strategy, Royal Enfield is cooking a bunch of new motorcycles for India to launch in 2024. The recently trademarked Guerrilla 450 is likely to launch soon and is among the most anticipated launches in Indian motorcycling industry. It is a stripped-down version of New Himalayan (a.k.a. Himalayan 450). Let’s take a look at the top 5 changes in Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 over Himalayan 450.1. Design & AestheticsWhile Himalayan 450 aims to look like an ADV, Guerrilla 450 is shooting for a Roadster look. Himalayan’s front beak, split seats and tall windshield are gone and so is the unappealing clamp that was holding the Tripper Dash. Guerrilla 450 will directly target the recently launched Harley-Davidson X440, its Hero counterpart Mavrick 440 and others like Yezdi Roadster, and Triumph Speed 400.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Logo Trademarked2. FunctionalityHimalayan 450 was equipped with a lot of exposed frames, mounts and a sturdy rear luggage rack for saddle bags, side panniers, top box and jerry cans. All these are missing on Guerrilla 450. That said, there will be accessories sold separately to achieve these functionalities. With Guerrilla 450, the priority is ease of use on daily commutes, rather than going on an expedition.3. Cycle PartsTransitioning from an ADV to a Roadster, Guerrilla 450 has embraced RSU telescopic front forks, 17-inch alloy wheels with road-biased tubeless tyres and less suspension travel. Steering geometry has been revised for Roadster genre and the headlight is now conventionally mounted on the triple tree and moves with the handlebar.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 4504. Ride & ErgonomicsRoyal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will pack a revised rider’s triangle that is geared towards sportiness for short power-packed commutes and the occasional highway use. Rider’s footpegs are slightly rear-set and the handlebars command a slight lean. The ride is likely to be slightly less robust and corner-carving a lot more natural when compared to Himalayan 450. Guerrilla 450 should weight a lot less in comparison to Himalayan 450 as well.5. PricingWe expect Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 to cost less than Himalayan 450. For context, Himalayan 450 costs between an eye-watering Rs. 2.85 lakh to 2.98 lakh (ex-sh) and in Karnataka (where I’m from), the on-road price goes very close to Rs. 4 lakh. If we take a look at rivals, Bajaj is offering a similar calibre motorcycle for Rs. 1.85 lakh (ex-sh). Factoring in the fancier gizmos Guerrilla 450 is bringing to the table, can we expect it to cost Rs. 2.3 lakh (ex-sh)? Only time will tell.Royal Enfield 450cc bike is likely to be Guerrilla 450Apart from the changes, Guerrilla 450 and Himalayan 450 will have a lot in common too. For starters, both get the same chassis, new Sherpa 450 engine, new Tripper Dash, fancy tail lights, full LED headlights and more. With the Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield has an opportunity to work on all the issues that were reported with Himalayan 450 and we can expect a more polished product.Also read – Royal Enfield New Himalayan long-term review.  More

    2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Logo LeaksWith a minimalistic profile and basic equipment list, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will be affordably priced at around Rs 2.40 lakhRoyal Enfield will be launching multiple new products in the current financial year. One of these will be the Guerilla 450 neo-retro roadster. Launch is expected during the second quarter of FY 24-25.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 – What to expect?Test mules of Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 have been spotted in India and overseas locations as well. The bike will be based on the new 450cc platform that underpins the new Himalayan 450. Ahead of launch, Guerrilla 450 logo has now leaked online.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Logo LeaksThough based on new Himalayan 450, Guerrilla 450 won’t be getting as many premium features as the Himalayan 450. For example, Guerrilla 450 will be getting standard telescopic forks at front and not the USD forks seen with Himalayan 450. Similarly, the Tripper TFT display offered with the Himalayan 450 could be replaced with a semi-digital instrument console. It could be the same unit, as used with the Super Meteor 650.True to its roadster profile, Guerrilla 450 will be getting 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends. In comparison, the Himalayan is equipped with 21-inch and 18-inch wire spoke wheels at front and rear, respectively.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450As seen with test mules, Guerrilla 450 has a minimalistic profile. The retro bits include the circular headlamp and rear-view mirrors. The bike has a classic teardrop shaped fuel tank and a single piece saddle. At rear, the tail lamp and turn signals are seamlessly integrated into a single unit. This feature is similar to that of the new Himalayan.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 – Ride comfortGuerrilla 450 has an upright, comfortable riding stance. It seems suitable for city commutes as well as longer journeys across highways. Although the bike won’t be getting USD forks, the telescopic forks and the rear monoshock unit should be able to provide optimal comfort to the rider. In its stock form, Guerrilla 450 will be primarily targeted at solo riders. The rear seat section seems narrow and may not be comfortable for the pillion over longer durations.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 – Performance, specsPowering Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will be the 452cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder engine that delivers 40 PS and 40 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and equipped with a slip and assist clutch. The engine has electronic fuel injection and a ride by wire system. The bike will be using a steel, twin spar tubular frame. Braking setup will comprise 320 mm and 270 mm disc brakes at front and rear, respectively. Dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard. Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will have an all-LED lighting setup.Upon launch, Guerrilla 450 will take on rivals such as Triumph Speed 400, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 and Honda CB300R. It will be one of the most affordable options in its class. Along with the domestic market, Guerrilla 450 will also be aggressively pushed across international markets. The new Himalayan 450 is already gaining popularity across multiple export markets. Something similar could be achievable with the Guerrilla 450 neo-retro roadster. More

    Ola ADV And Roadster Motorcycles, Rickshaw, Cargo Vehicles Patented

    Ola Motorcycles & RickshawThere is no timeline mentioned for Ola 3W vehicles, but Ola electric motorcycles are supposed to break cover by 2024 endAfter dominating Indian electric scooter space, Ola Electric is poised to expand its presence in new type of electric vehicles. In that regard, we have been promised cars, motorcycles, rickshaws and 3W cargo vehicles from Ola Electric. Ola car might be further ahead in the future, but Ola motorcycles and 3W vehicles seem to be arriving first as hinted by design patents.Ola ADV And Roadster MotorcyclesIf you remember Ola motorcycle unveiling event, only the Roadster concept was functional and we predicted that it could be the one to launch first. That seems to be true and M1 Cyber Racer (production name of Ola Roadster) has been patented by Ola Electric in three different variants. All three variants bear design distinctions to establish a visual distinction.Ola M1 Cyber Racer Base VariantM1 Cyber Racer looks like it is being developed into three distinct variants. The base variant gets slightly uninspiring wheels, probably cast alloys in a monotone finish. This variant gets a hub motor at the back, a very basic box-section swingarm and twin shock absorbers. Then comes the top trim with fancier dual-tone alloy wheels, mono-shock rear suspension, front and rear disc brakes, a mid-mounted motor, fancy swingarm and sophisticated fairing.This top trim gets two variants – single-seat and twin-seat variants, with slight design differences. Single-seat variant gets rear footpegs for some reason too. All three M1 Cyber Racer variants get RSU telescopic front forks and a flat-tracker-like headlight assembly. If you want premium components, you have to step up to Ola M1 Adventure which is also patented.Ola Cyber Racer Top VariantOla Cyber Racer Top VariantM1 Adventure electric ADV patentedWith M1 Adventure, Ola is venturing into electric off-road motorcycle niche. It gets premium componentry like USD telescopic front forks, twin discs at the front and single disc at the rear, wire-spoke wheels, knuckle guards, edgy styling, fancy swingarm and more. Where design is concerned, it gets twin vertically stacked headlights and a large windscreen reminding us of upcoming KTM 390 Adventure.Ola M1 AdventureApart from these motorcycles, Ola showcased M1 Cruiser which looked the best among the four. Also, Diamond Head futuristic concept that looked way ahead into the future. There was another patent of right-side switchgear that is likely to go into all these motorcycles to control the 5-inch instrument cluster which Ola showed with all its motorcycles.Ola Motorcycle SwitchgearVenturing into 3W spaceOla Electric has patented two 3W electric vehicles as well. Both these vehicles are essentially different variations of the same base vehicle. This is the first time Ola is venturing into electric 3W CV space and is likely to implement aggressive pricing strategies to quickly garner a lot of interest and push volumes.Ola Electric Rickshaw CVOla Electric Cargo CVThe electric rickshaw version seems to have a shorter wheelbase, a fixed hard top and a weather-proofed body. The electric cargo version gets a flat bed which is shorter in height. Buyers can modify this load bed for a taller body with the help of third-party fabricators. Ola ADV and Roadster motorcycles are supposed to break covers by the end of 2024. It would be interesting to see when 3W vehicles will debut. More

    Royal Enfield Classic Bobber 350 Patent Image Leaked – Reveals New Details

    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Patent Image LeakedWhen launched, upcoming Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber will rival real Bobber motorcycles like Jawa Perak and 42 BobberIndia’s leading classic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, is adding yet another offering to its belt. We’re talking about Classic 350 Bobber which has been spied in India on multiple occasions. Now, the design patents of Classic 350 Bobber have been leaked on the internet, revealing interesting details.Royal Enfield Classic Bobber 350 Patent Image LeakedMany OEMs aim to recreate the Royal Enfield magic in the 300cc to 500cc segment. Royal Enfield has managed to reach 75K units per month mark which is a huge achievement in price-sensitive Indian market. Company’s 350cc portfolio has done most of the heavy lifting here.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Patent Image LeakedCurrently, there are as many as four 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycles on sale in India – Classic 350, Bullet 350, Hunter 350 and Meteor 350. The upcoming entrant into Royal Enfield’s 350cc portfolio is Classic 350 Bobber. There is a probability of this motorcycle taking the name Goan Classic 350 when launched too.As seen in the patent image, there are quite a few elements that distinguish it from Classic 350 it is based on. That said, the new Bobber is not exactly successful in masking its roots either. It looks like a slight variation of Classic 350, just like Bullet 350. The effect is more profound with the upcoming Classic 350 Bobber.Royal Enfield Bobber 350 Twin SeatAs seen in the spy shots we posted before, Classic 350 Bobber gets a split-seat setup that looks like a workaround for the pillion. This pillion seat looks like it is small and uncomfortable and could be offered as an option. We have seen single-seat Classic 350 Bobber on testing too and that could be standard.The most notable design distinction over Classic 350 is the new handlebar. This is a typical bobber-style ape-hanger handlebar and should allow for a relaxed riding triangle. White walled tyres is another attribute that is a visual distinguishing factor for Classic 350 Bobber. Other than that, it looks almost identical to Classic 350.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber vs Classic 350 Single seatIs the wheelbase increased?Componentry seems to be identical too. For starters, we can see the same headlights, front RSU telescopic forks, round ORVMs, same double cradle frame, identical side body panels, rear twin shock absorbers, front and rear fenders, wire-spoke wheels, disc brakes with dual channel ABS and more.The engine is going to be the same J-Series 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 2V engine that is capable of generating 20.2 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of peak torque. When launched, Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber is highly likely to be a Bobber-style motorcycle and not a real Bobber. We say this because spy shots reveal an almost identical wheelbase to Classic 350. More
