- Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 shares its underpinnings with the Himalayan 450. However, the Guerrilla 450 is more affordable.
Royal Enfield has launched the new Guerrilla 450 in the Indian market after the success of the Himalayan 450 which was launched last year. It is important to note that the Himalayan is the donor model for the Guerrilla 450 so both motorcycles do share a few components. The price of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 starts at ₹2.39 lakh ex-showroom introductory. Bookings in India are open and test rides and retails would start from 1st August.
The Guerrilla 450 is offered in three variants – Analogue, Dash and Flash. Where the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is an adventure tourer, the Guerrilla 450 is a roadster that is meant to run around the city. So, it gets slightly aggressive ergonomics with a lower handlebar and a bit rear-set foot pegs.

However, there is a difference in the seat. It is now a single-piece unit instead of a split setup. The fuel tank is also smaller because the Guerrilla will mostly be doing city duties.
