Royal Enfield, through teasers, has announced the launch date of the Guerrilla 450 and it will debut in Barcelona on July 17. Videos featuring former racer and Isle of Man TT superstar Guy Martin with the new motorcycle are circulating on social media. Despite the fast-paced reel with quick cuts, these videos give us a glimpse of what to expect from this motorcycle.
Another noteworthy thing is the basic componentry compared to the Himalayan, hinting at Royal Enfield’s aim to maintain a competitive price point. It shares the same engine as the Himalayan 450 and is likely to produce similar figures of 40hp/40Nm, though there may be some differences in tuning.
The Guerrilla 450’s most direct rivals will be the Triumph Speed 400 (Rs 2.34 lakh) and the Honda CB300R (Rs 2.40 lakh)
