Royal Enfield has unveiled the latest iteration of its popular Guerrilla 450 motorcycle, introducing two fresh color options during the Generation Speed 2025 event held in Lonavala, Maharashtra. This significant launch revitalizes the model, which has garnered attention over the past year.<\/p>
The new colorways, Peix Bronze and Smoke Silver, cater to customer desires for innovative aesthetics and come exclusively with the Dash variant of the motorcycle. With pricing set at Rs 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Dash variant, the Peix Bronze color, which was showcased earlier at Motoverse 2024, boasts a matte finish complemented by white highlights. This visually arresting combination aims to amplify the aggressive character of the Guerrilla 450, blending seamlessly with the black alloy wheels, fork tubes, and headlamp casing. The tank and side panels are adorned with elegant silver pinstripe graphics, offering a refined touch to this muscular roadster.
Alongside the introduction of Peix Bronze, the Smoke Silver color has also been added to the Dash variant lineup, marking another exciting option for enthusiasts. Previously limited to the base-spec Analogue trim, the Smoke Silver color features a sleek silver finish paired with bold black graphics, making it stand out, especially with the vivid red '450' text on the side panels. With these updates, Royal Enfield’s Guerrilla 450 now offers six color options, including Brava Blue, Yellow Ribbon, Playa Black, and Gold Dip.
Bookings for these new vibrant colors commenced immediately after the launch event, with eager customers able to schedule test rides starting March 10, 2025. This strategic move is expected to boost sales and brand loyalty among dedicated fans of the Royal Enfield lineup.
The Guerrilla 450 itself is highly regarded not just for its aesthetics but also for its impressive arsenal of features. The base variant, known as Analogue, offers traditional styling with modern functionality, featuring part digital and part analogue instrumentation. Meanwhile, the Dash variant is equipped with Royal Enfield’s sophisticated 4-inch TFT display, providing Bluetooth connectivity, Google Maps navigation, and media control functionality right at the rider's fingertips.
Powering the Guerrilla 450 is Royal Enfield's trusted 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. This engine, coupled with a six-speed gearbox featuring a slipper and assist clutch, delivers both exhilarating performance and smooth gear transitions. This motorcycle also offers two distinct ride modes, Eco and Performance, catering to varying riding preferences.
Equally important are the motorcycle’s safety and handling features. Royal Enfield has ensured the Guerrilla 450 is built on a durable steel tubular frame, with the engine acting as a stress member. The suspension system comprises 43mm front telescopic forks and a preload adjustable rear monoshock, ensuring comfort and stability across diverse riding conditions. Braking duties are well-managed with front and rear disc brakes complemented by dual-channel ABS for added safety.
Designed for agility and responsiveness, the motorbike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, which are wrapped with 120-section front and 160-section rear tubeless tyres. With ground clearance of 169mm and seat height of 780mm, it offers good ergonomics for riders of various sizes. The kerb weight stands at 184kg, paired with an 11-liter fuel tank, ensuring ample range for every adventure.
Compared to competitors like the Triumph Speed 400 and Hero Mavrick 440, the Guerrilla 450’s innovative features and style align with the growing demand for motorcycles catering to both performance and lifestyle needs. The combination of updated aesthetics, modern technology, and engaging performance positions the Guerrilla 450 as a compelling choice for riders seeking excitement on two wheels.
With the addition of these color options, Royal Enfield not only enhances the Guerrilla 450’s appeal but also reaffirms its commitment to meet the ever-evolving preferences of its customers. The company’s strategic decisions, such as launching new colors and features, signal its intent to remain competitive and relevant within the growing motorcycle market.
