    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Modified Into A Custom Race Bike

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 ModifiedWhen Royal Enfield launched Himalayan 450, it was a completely new direction for the brand. For the first time, we saw a Royal Enfield motorcycle with modern technology and features, which were then translated on to Guerrilla 450, a Roadster bike. Now, XTR Pepo has customized Guerrilla 450 into a race bike with a tonne of upgrades. Let’s take a closer look.

    There is always a special place for Royal Enfield motorcycles in the custom bike world. There are a lot of custom bike builders across the world who have carved out stunning masterpieces based on Royal Enfield bikes. Renowned custom bike builder Pepo Rosell running XTR Pepo has tastefully modified a Guerrilla 450 into a custom race bike.
    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Modified – GRR 450
    Called GRR 450, this build was showcased at Wheels and Waves Festival 2025 in Biarritz, France. This build was commissioned by Royal Enfield Factory with a Guerrilla 450 Roadster as the donor bike. Looking at the build details on XTR Pepo website, it is clear that this is a massive project and involves a lot of work, but the spectacular results speak for themselves.
    The main change is in the bodywork, which is completely custom. We can see a sculpted fuel tank, quarter fairing, belly pan and other elements made of fiberglass. Then we have XTR carbon fibre rear mudguard and tyre hugger along with a single-seat setup and an integrated pillion seat cowl with a backrest.

    Then there are the premium components and changes to GRR 450. This build is based on a modified mainframe and a custom subframe along with Aprilia RS 660’s rear swingarm. The front end is heavily customized with a shorter trail angle, low-set clip-on handlebars, repositioned Tripper Dash TFT cluster and fully adjustable USD front forks from Aprilia RSV 1000.
    Premium components
    Rear suspension is handled by Nitrox mono-shock setup and foot pegs are significantly more rear-set than what they are in Guerrilla 450. We can also see a major overhaul in the braking department as GRR 450 gets dual disc brake setup at the front with Discacciati callipers along with a single disc setup at the rear with Brembo callipers.

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 modified into the GRR 450 runs on Dyman forged aluminium 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends, wrapped with Continental ContiSport Attack 2 tyres (120/70 front and 160/60 rear). Other notable elements include a lighter Lithium based battery, aluminium sprockets and S&P CNC machined triple clamp.
    While it is not confirmed, XTR Pepo might have made some changes to the powertrain to eke out more performance when compared to the stock 40 bhp and 40 Nm figures. We can see a new carbon fibre airbox and a titanium custom exhaust from SPARK. The motorcycle is finished in race-inspired colourway to lend a sporty look. More

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze
    The premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment is getting overtly popular in the recent past. With more buyers foraying into this segment, there is a rush among OEMs to launch the best products here. Among these OEMs is Royal Enfield, which is launching a new Peix Bronze colour for Guerrilla 450’s mid-spec Dash variant.
    Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze and Smoke Silver
    Royal Enfield first showcased Peix Bronze shade on Guerrilla 450 at 2024 Motoverse show in Goa and is launched today. Along with the launch of Peix Bronze shade, Royal Enfield is offering Smoke Silver colourway with Dash variant. This colourway used to be exclusive to base Analogue variant, which is now also part of Dash variant, based on customer demands.
    Where design is concerned, Guerrilla 450 is a lot more appealing to look at, when compared to Himalayan 450. Owing to its roadster design, it is aimed to appeal a wider audience base, which doesn’t seem to be the case as reflected by sales charts. Royal Enfield sold just 349 of Guerrilla 450 last month and the new colours are expected to boost sales.
    Guerrilla 450 New Peix Bronze
    Round LED headlights, round Tripper Dash (on mid and top variants), round ORVMs, LED tail lights integrated into the turn indicators, classic fuel tank design, fork gaiters, a clean tail section flaunting the fat 160-section tyre, swanky alloy wheels, soothing body panels, blackened engine bay, stubby exhaust finished in silver, stylish dual tone colours are notable elements.
    Engine Specs
    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 shares the same 452cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled Sherpa 450 engine as its ADV sibling, Himalayan 450. Because it has shed some weight, the 40 bhp and 40 Nm metrics offer brisker performance when compared to Himalayan 450. Better acceleration, braking and higher top speed are evident.
    New Peix Bronze Colour
    Componentry-wise, Guerrilla 450 offers RSU telescopic front forks, a rear mono-shock suspension unit, fat 160-section rear tyre and disc brakes at both ends with dual channel ABS are notable. Features include ride-by-wire throttle, a slipper clutch, a 6-speed gearbox, Google Maps, music control and others. More
