The global debut is scheduled to take place in Barcelona, Spain. Ahead of that, former motorcycle racer Guy Martin has shared a teaser of Guerrilla 450 on their Insta handle.Guerrilla 450 off-road capabilities revealedIn the hands of a highly skilled rider like Guy Martin, the Guerrilla 450 demonstrates that a roadster can embrace the spirit of adventure. The bike’s robust build and capable handling make it equally thrilling across the tarmac and mild off-road trails. With the legendary Guy Martin, who has 17 podium finishes at TT events, one can clearly visualize the full potential of upcoming Guerrilla 450.New Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450Burnout visuals in the teaser work to justify the bike’s name. It hints at the bike’s powerful 452 cc Sherpa engine, one of the best ever designed by Royal Enfield. Output numbers are 40 bhp and 40 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and comes with premium  features such as slipper clutch and ride-by-wire tech.

Take a look at Guy Martin doing some stunts with the new RE G450 in the teaser below.[embedded content]Shared components with Himalayan 450Royal Enfield Guerrilla borrows several of the components from Himalayan 450. This will help reduce production cost, which in turn will make the bike accessible at an affordable price point. Some of the shared components include the engine casing, large radiator, exhaust, centre stand and the centrally mounted horn. Components such as the subframe, swing arm and pillion footrest are also likely to be the same as that of Himalayan 450.New Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450Teasers reveal all-LED lighting, circular headlamp and the TFT Tripper Dash. The latter is expected to be the same unit in use with Himalayan 450. It has Bluetooth support and functions such as music, advanced metrics, smartphone app pairing and navigation via Google Maps.New Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450Talking about unique aspects in relation to Himalayan 450, Guerrilla 450 has 17-inch wheels at both ends. It gets conventional telescopic forks at front in comparison to 43mm USD forks seen with Himalayan 450.

      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Teased By CEO – Launch Date Revealed

      by

      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 TeasedWhen launched, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 rivals Yezdi Roadster, Speed 400, X440, Mavrick 440, 390 Duke, Apache RTR 310, G 310 R and othersThe next big thing in the premium 350cc to 450cc segment in India and the world, is likely to be Royal Enfield’s upcoming Guerrilla 450. It has been spotted testing on multiple occasions over the past couple of years. Royal Enfield is officially teasing Guerrilla 450 and has also revealed the launch date and venue.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 TeasedAfter much speculation, Royal Enfield has lifted the veil off its upcoming Guerrilla 450 motorcycle. It is still not revealed, though, as the pictures posted by Royal Enfield CEO B. Govindarajan and Eicher Motors CEO and MD Siddhartha Lal had massive watermarking. To hide what is underneath, of course.Eicher Motors CEO, Siddhartha Lal with Guerrilla 450Both B. Govindarajan and Sidhartha Lal have announced that Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will be launched on July 17th and the venue they have chosen for launch is Barcelona, Spain. This is likely to be Royal Enfield’s biggest launch in 2024 and must be the most important one, as it takes on the premium 350cc to 450cc motorcycles.Immediate rivals for upcoming Guerrilla 450 are Triumph Speed 400, Harley-Davidson X440, Hero Mavrick 440, Yezdi Roadster, TVS Apache RTR 310, BMW G 310 R and KTM 390 Duke. Based on the new platform shared with Himalayan 450, upcoming Guerrilla 450 will also get the Sherpa 450 engine.Royal Enfield CEO, B. Govindarajan with Guerrilla 450This 452cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid cooled engine is the most sophisticated powertrain that ever came out of Royal Enfield camp. It has a lot of performance on offer. 40 bhp of peak power and 40 Nm of peak torque on Himalayan 450. This engine gets modern attributes like a 6-speed gearbox, ride-by-wire, slipper clutch and more.Componentry will be slightly downscaled from Himalayan 450. This is a good thing, we would reckon, as it makes Guerrilla 450 significantly lighter. RSU telescopic front forks, smaller 17-inch alloy wheels are the primary cut-downs. Deletion of tank braces, side luggage mounts, rear luggage provisions, and fixed headlight mounts will save weight.Rushlane’s Royal Enfield Guerrilla RenderMore performance than Himalayan 450Because it will be lighter than Himalayan 450, we should witness more performance and fuel efficiency and overall sportiness from Guerrilla 450. Fuel tank is smaller than Himalayan’s and overall ergonomics of Guerrilla 450 are that of a Roadster-style motorcycle.From the recent pictures by Royal Enfield, we can see the presence of all-LED lighting and Himalayan 450’s Tripper Dash TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth, smartphone app support, music control, navigation via Google Maps, advanced metrics and more. Where pricing is concerned, we should expect one standard variant costing around Rs. 2.3 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh (Ex-sh). More
