Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 logo is a registered trademark. The RE Himalayan Roadster?

Early speculation suggested that Royal Enfield’s 450cc roadster might be called the Hunter 450 (based on the success of the Hunter 350). However, the Guerrilla 450 name was trademarked last August, fueling rumors otherwise. Earlier spy photos revealed several changes from the new Himalayan, including 17-inch alloy wheels, telescopic front forks instead of USD, a wide lower-position handlebar and lightweight rear racks. It could get a smaller fuel tank to help reduce the extra weight.

Power will come from the 452cc Sherpa series engine. The single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine develops 39.4 bhp and 40 Nm of peak torque on the Himalayan, mated to a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper assist clutch. We expect the power figures to remain identical, but the RE Guerrilla 450 would be considerably lighter than the Himalayan, making for a livelier performance.

Other features likely to carry over include the 5-inch TFT round screen with connected technology including app-based navigation, LED headlights, indicator and taillights and switches, while test mules promise Ceat-sourced road tires on the future roadster. .

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is priced from ₹2.85 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards, which allows the bike maker to price the Guerrilla 450 around ₹2.40 lakh mark.
