Royal Enfield is gearing up to launch a new exciting motorcycle in the Indian market – the Guerrilla 450. This neo-retro roadster has been generating a lot of buzz lately, thanks to its stylish design, powerful engine, and competitive pricing. In this article, we’ll delve into everything we know so far about the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, including its specifications, features, expected launch date, and competitors.
A Blend of Classic and Modern Aesthetics
The Guerrilla 450 draws inspiration from the successful Hunter 350, adopting a neo-retro design language. This translates to a motorcycle that boasts classic styling elements with modern accents, offering a unique blend of retro charm and contemporary functionality. Expected to be priced competitively around Rs. 2.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Guerrilla 450 is poised to shake up the mid-range roadster segment in India.
Performance Packed
Powering the Guerrilla 450 is the proven Sherpa 450 engine. This liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC unit displaces 452cc and churns out a healthy 40.02 PS of power at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed transmission with a slipper/assist clutch for added rider comfort and safety.
Equipped for Modern Riding
The Guerrilla 450 comes equipped with a modern feature set, making it a compelling choice for riders seeking a feature-rich experience. The highlight is the inclusion of a TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. Additionally, the motorcycle is expected to boast switchable rear ABS, a ride-by-wire throttle system for precise control, and multiple ride modes to cater to different riding conditions. The comfortable riding posture is enhanced by a slightly upright handlebar, ensuring long rides are a breeze.
Taking on the Competition
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will directly compete with established players like the Triumph Speed 400, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, and the KTM 390 Duke. With its competitive pricing, powerful engine, and feature-rich package, the Guerrilla 450 has the potential to be a game-changer in the neo-retro roadster segment.
Launch and Availability
Royal Enfield has confirmed the launch of the Guerrilla 450 for the second half of 2024. The exact launch date is yet to be announced. This exciting new motorcycle is expected to further strengthen Royal Enfield’s position in the Indian market, particularly amongst riders seeking a stylish, powerful, and feature-packed neo-retro roadster experience.
