Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: New Yellow PaintJob Spotted
Royal Enfield is gearing up to unveil its latest 450cc motorcycle, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, scheduled for launch on July 17. It was previously spied in 2 different shades- Dual-tone golden red and a Sky Grey monotone. Now, a new shade of the Guerrilla 450 painted in dual-tone Yellow Black has surfaced taking the pallet to a total of 3 colours.
Highly anticipated in 2024, the Guerrilla 450's specifications have recently surfaced, revealing dimensions of 2,134 mm in length, 834 mm in width, and 1,155 mm in height, with a wheelbase included. Weighing approximately 183 kg, it is notably 14 kg lighter than the Himalayan 450. The bike will feature 120-section front and 160-section rear tires, supported by telescopic front forks and a monoshock absorber at the rear for suspension. Braking duties will be handled by disc brakes on both ends. Designed in a roadster style, the motorcycle shares the same frame as the Himalayan 450.
Leaked details further suggest that the Guerrilla will be offered in two distinct versions. The first variant will feature a semi-digital instrument cluster and a single-tone color scheme. In contrast, the higher-spec variant will include a digital instrument cluster similar to the Himalayan 450 and will showcase a dual-color scheme.

Engine Details
The engine will be powered by the RE Sherpa 450 engine, also featured in the new Himalayan model. This engine delivers 40.02 PS of power and 40 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and equipped with a slipper clutch.
Launching on July 17, we expect the pricing to be around Rs. 2.20 lakhs up to Rs. 2.60 lakhs. It will rival the likes of Honda CB300R, Hero Maverick 440, HD X440, Triumph Speed 400, KTM 390 Duke, Yezdi Roadster, and more
Verdict
There's considerable excitement surrounding this upcoming launch, as it is expected to blend features from the Himalayan and Meteor models, albeit with some cost-saving adjustments. It promises enthusiasts another compelling option, incorporating an engine inspired by the Himalayan. However, the pricing is not the biggest deciding factor as to how it fares against the rivals, as the solid brand name backs it up.
