Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 colours L to R: Yellow Ribbon, Brava Blue, Playa Black, Smoke, Gold Dip.
Sharing the 452cc Sherpa engine with the Himalayan 450 but re-mapped for street use, with a 42mm throttle-body, RbW throttle and 84mm x 81.5mm bore x stroke, the Guerrilla run an 11.5:1 compression ratio and makes a learner legal friendly 29.44kW@8000rpm and 40Nm@5500rpm. It also features a slipper clutch (cable actuation) and a six-speed gearbox.
Chassis-wise, the steel tubular frame uses the engine as a stressed member. The swingarm is steel and runs a linkage-type SHOWA monoshock and offers 150mm of travel, while up the front 43mm conventional SHOWA forks are covered with fork gators and give 140mm travel. Wheels are 17in cast alloy with 120/70 – 17in and 160/60 – 17in on-road/off-road 50/50 CEAT GrippXL tyres.
Braking is taken care off by ByBre (By Brembo) with a 310mm front rotor with two-piston sliding caliper and a 270mm rear rotor with a single-piston caliper, and dual channel ABS is a feature too. The front master-cylinder is of the conventional type with integrated fluid reservoir, and the brake lines are braided stainless-steel for added feel and power.
The Guerrilla is 2090mm long, with a wheelbase of 1440mm and a seat height of 780mm. It is 833mm wide and 1125mm tall without mirrors, and ground clearance is 169mm. Weight comes in at 191kg wet and ready to ride, or 174kg dry.
ByBre brakes front and rear and ABS feature on the Guerrilla 450 shown here on Gold Dip colours.
The fuel tank capacity is just 11L, so expect plenty of fuel stops here in Australia, with an estimated fuel range of 300km between filling up a best case scenario to bone dry, we estimate it will be closer to a range of 250-260km between fill-ups.
Electronics include the ABS, and two Ride Modes, Economy and Performance. The TFT dash is Tripper enabled should you wish to add it and it can also Blutooth to your mobile. The lighting is LED and the engine is of course electric start. No mention of anti-theft immobiliser or traction control. Guerrilla 450 colours are Brava Blue, Yellow Ribbon, Gold Dip, Playa Black and Smoke.
Pricing has been announced for some International markets (it’s under $5000 AUD in India but don’t expect that here), we predict it will be somewhere around the price of the Himalayan, perhaps a little less, so $9,000 – ish Ride Away, but nothing official is available on availability or price here in Australia. There are three variants, one with a basic analogue dash and two with the TFT dash.
