Royal Enfield has added a brand new motorcycle to its portfolio and is a roadster this time. We rode it to find out if this is the truly out-of-the-box Royal Enfield or not
Guerrilla tactics

Over the past few years, Royal Enfield has been experimenting with many new genres for its motorcycles. A few years back the company launched the Hunter 350, a roadster. Now though it's back in the market with another one called the Guerrilla 450. So what has the Guerrilla 450 brought to the war zone? The Guerrilla 450 comes in as a fresh design from Royal Enfield. The front end is dominated by fat 17-inch Ceat tyres which feature a knobby pattern. There are alloy wheels offered as well across the range. The headlamp is an LED unit and is borrowed from the Himalayan. As far as instrumentation goes, the higher variants get the 4-inch, all-digital singlepod instrument panel from the Himalayan. There is a small USB charging port added to the handlebar. To use it though, one has to install a mobile holder to the handlebar. The switchgear too is shared with other Royal Enfield motorcycles and feels solid to operate. The Guerrilla 450 comes with an 11-litre fuel tank with an offset fuel tank cap.

Graphics will depend on the colours and variants chosen. While most of them feature stickers, the Brava Blue will be special as the graphics are hand-painted. The seat is a single-piece unit and seat height is set at 780mm. The GMA (Genuine Motorcycle Accessories) division will also offer additional options to increase the seat height. The tail section of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 reminds one of the Himalayan.

The Guerrilla 450 uses the same engine as found on the Himalayan 450. Hence, one can see the same 452cc liquid-cooled engine here.

Power and torque outputs remain the same at 40bhp and 40Nm, respectively. However, the engine has been retuned to suit the needs of the roadster category.
