Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: What To Expect?
In the spy shots, we spotted two versions of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. One stood out in a striking dual-tone scheme of red and gold: the tank divided evenly between these hues, with red dominating the front fender and gold sweeping towards the rear. Beside it, another Guerrilla 450 appeared in a more understated sky-grey monotone.
Looking closer at its design, the bike boasts a circular headlamp and a slightly broader tank with two vertical creases running between them. It's fitted with a long, single-seat configuration and features a softly contoured, triangular rear end. The exhaust pipe bears a resemblance to the design seen on the Himalayan 450 model.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Feature Details
The spy shots reveal some notable differences in the instrument panels of the two Royal Enfield bikes. The dual-tone model features a single, larger round TFT screen similar to the one on the Himalayan 450. In contrast, the monotone variant sports a twin-pod analogue-digital instrument cluster that appears to be borrowed from the Meteor 350, complete with turn-by-turn navigation.
This model is expected to come with several advanced features, including an all-LED lighting setup, Bluetooth and phone connectivity, ABS, a ride-by-wire throttle, and more.
