For starters, the two units pictured have very distinct color schemes – a dual shade of red and gold and a matte gray option. The first is most likely the top variant, and the second, with a single-tone paint scheme, is either a base variant or a base variant of the Guerilla 450. This is also emphasized by the equipment offered.

The dual-tone variant is equipped with the same fully digital instrument cluster as the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Hence, it means that this variant is expected to get features like Bluetooth connectivity, call and text alerts, music playback, navigation incorporated. via Google Maps, walk around, multiple travel modes and a USB charging port.

On the other hand, the single-tone variant comes with the simpler circular semi-digital instrument console seen in the Super Meteor 650, Meteor 350 and Hunter 350. The instrument panel is seen flanked by the Tripper navigation bridge, which offers turn- by- navigation on return. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether this will be an optional add-on or whether the Tripper Pod will be available as standard equipment on this variant.
