Royal Enfield on July 17 launched -Guerrilla 450 with a starting price of Rs 2.39 lakh (ex-showroom). The bookings of this new premium roadster have commenced today with test rides and retails beginning on August 1, 2024. Once launched, it will be pitted against Harley-Davidson X440, Triumph Speed 400, Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z and Hero Mavrick 440.
The Guerrilla 450 is based on the Sherpa platform, which also underpins the Himalayan 450. The premium roadster is equipped with the 452cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-valve engine, which develops 40 PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 40NM of peak torque at 5,500 rpm.
“The Guerrilla 450 is our take on modern roasters, and we are super happy with how it has turned out. It is built on the same platform as the Himalayan, but tuned to roadster performance that makes it feel excitingly different when you ride it,” said Siddhartha Lal, managing director, Eicher Motors Ltd, the parent of Royal Enfield.
The new model will be available in three variants – Analogue (at Rs 2.39 lakh), Dash (Rs 2.49 lakh) and Flash (2.54 lakh)-all ex-showroom-and will be offered in five colour options. It also comes with a semi-digital instrument console with Tripper navigation or a full-TFT dash similar to the Himalayan 450.
B. Govindarajan, CEO - Royal Enfield said, “When we started with the Sherpa 450 platform, we envisaged an adventure tourer and a superlative roadster that would be distinctly Royal Enfield. The Guerrilla 450 is just that - a roadster full of character and confidence. Developed in parallel with the Himalayan, the Guerrilla is tuned to perfection for city riding as well as weekend rides through twisty roads.”
For the overseas markets, it will be called the Royal Enfield GRR 450 in most of the Latin American markets. It will be priced at £ 4,850 in the UK and €5,290 MSRP in Germany, with retails starting mid-August across Europe, the company informed.
