The lower-spec variants of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will get a semi-digital console, while the higher-end variants will offer the Himalayan-like TFT display.

Last month, Royal Enfield announced it would unveil the Guerrilla 450 roadster on July 17 in Barcelona, Spain. That deadline is quickly approaching, and a new video finds its way into the public domain and shows the bike completely disguised. The video reveals not just one but two Guerrilla 450 bikes, indicating that the upcoming bike will come in two variants.
The first variant garners attention for its striking dual-tone red-and-gold paint scheme, which is complemented by a circular TFT screen. All of this suggests that this will be a top-spec variant, likely to also come with built-in Google Maps navigation. The other variant, on the other hand, appears to be more affordable with its monotone blue colour and semi-digital instrument cluster. The latter features the Tripper navigation system.

So far, the previous spy shots, as well as the official teaser, have shown a round LED headlamp, a gaitered telescopic front fork, a large fuel tank, a single-piece seat, an integrated tail lamp, a preload-adjustable rear monoshock, 17-inch alloy wheels, and block-pattern Ceat Gripp XL tyres.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Engine
Given that it is based on the new Himalayan, the upcoming Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will be powered by a 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox. In the Himalayan, this Sherpa engine generates 39.47bhp at 8,000rpm and 40Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm. As for the Guerrilla 450, we expect Royal Enfield to offer the engine in a higher state-of-tune to suit the characteristics of the roadster. Other expected bits include LED illumination, Bluetooth connectivity, and a dual-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Price
Since it is under-equipped compared to the new Himalayan (Rs 2.85 lakh–Rs 2.98 lakh), the Guerrilla 450 could fall between Rs 2.40 lakh and Rs 2.50 lakh in terms of pricing. The prices are ex-showroom.
