The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has been leaked ahead of its July 17 launch

The highly anticipated Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has made an early appearance at a service center ahead of its official launch on July 17, 2024. The leaked images reveal a bold new direction for the brand.

The leaked image reveals a new color scheme for the Guerrilla 450. Dressed in a striking dual tone of yellow and black, the bike sports a dark name and a contrasting purple Royal Enfield logo. This unexpected color combination marks a departure from the traditional Royal Enfield palette and signals a more adventurous design direction for the brand. Further hints of this bold aesthetic can be seen in purple accents on the rims, which match the tank logo. The leaked image also suggests that the service center staff are being trained to familiarize themselves with the new bike.

While the Guerrilla 450 shares some design cues with the Hunter 450, including the round headlamp, telescopic front forks with boots and a similar fuel tank shape, it adopts a distinct rear section of the Himalayan 450. This amalgamation of design elements has as a result a unique and aggressive attitude.

Underpinning the Guerrilla 450 is the same Himalayan 450 platform, including the 452cc single-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed gearbox. The bike is expected to come in at least two variants, with the top spec model likely to sport a TFT color display similar to the Himalayan 450.

Priced at an estimated Rs 2.20 to 2.30 lakh (ex-showroom), the Guerrilla 450 is all set to compete with rivals like the Triumph Speed ​​400, Harley-Davidson X440, Hero Mavrick 440 and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401.
