Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 To Get Two Variants
A recently leaked online image shows two different motorcycles with different sets of features. This image of Guerrilla 450 bikes shows a single-tone colour bike that has a semi-digital instrument console similar to the Meteor 350. However, a second bike alongside it gets a TFT digital console similar to the Himalayan 450. This TFT console will offer features like navigation, different trip meters, and ride modes as well. Additionally, this variant is seen with a two-tone colour shade, a mix of yellow and red, similar to the Ironman theme.
The Guerrilla 450 is a naked neo-retro bike that is based on the Sherpa 450 platform. This means it'll use the 452cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, as a stress member of the chassis. However, to keep the cost aggressive, it'll get less complex hardware. Hence, the front suspension will be a telescopic unit, it'll get 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, non-adjustable levers, a single seat, etc.
Scheduled to debut in September in India, it is likely to be priced around Rs 2.3-2.5 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant chosen. Its primary rival in India will be the Triumph Speed 400.
