Royal Enfield has been quite active in launching new bikes and updating its existing ones. Their lineup has been strong, featuring bikes like the Bear 650, the Himalayan, the 650 Twins, and the evergreen Classic and Standard series. Now, Royal Enfield is up with yet another exciting launch. Let’s get to know more about the launch.
2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Launched!
One of the most underrated yet outstanding motorcycles in RE’s lineup is the Guerrilla 450. And after 2 years in the market, Royal Enfield has decided to refresh the bike’s aesthetics with new striking colours and a few new design elements. Launched with a price tag starting from Rs 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Guerrilla gets a few important changes that enhance the riding experience.
RE has also introduced a new Apex variant, which gets road-focused Vredestein tyres as opposed to the dual-purpose CEAT tyres available on the rest of the variants. To further enhance the riding experience and make it more engaging, the handlebars are now 56mm lower and pushed forward by 57mm. This makes the riding triangle more aggressive and fun to ride. Royal Enfield has introduced 4 new colours, namely – Apex Red, Apex Black, Apex Green and Twilight Blue. Let’s dive into more details about the updated Guerrilla 450!
Design And Features
With the update, Royal Enfield has tried to enhance the looks of the Guerrilla 450 with the colours and a set of new design elements. On the Apex variants, you get a new coloured headlight cowl along with a rear seat cowl to give it a single-seater appearance. In the Twilight blue colour, which is part of the Dash variant, you get a new headlight grille and knuckle guards for a more sturdy appearance. That said, the Guerrilla 450 has a captivating design and will surely turn heads with the new colour schemes.
While RE has not really added any new features in the Guerrilla. Features include a 4-inch TFT instrument cluster, riding modes, slip and assist clutch, all-LED lighting, dual-channel ABS and much more. However, the major update in the features department is the map mirroring feature. Previously, one had to leave their phone’s screen unlocked for map mirroring to work on the instrument cluster. However, with an update, Royal Enfield has now fixed the issue, allowing the use of map mirroring even with the phone screen locked. That said, the update will likely do the Guerrilla some good, attracting more potential buyers.
Powertrain
The Guerrilla’s engine has always been the highlight of the bike, and RE has kept it as it is. The 452cc engine produces 39.47bhp and 40Nm of torque along with a 6-speed gearbox. The performance remains just as good as before, and with the new road-biased tyres and a more aggressive riding triangle, the riding experience will surely seem more engaging and enjoyable.
So, what do you think of this update?
