Guerrilla 450 Apex: Better to Ride, But Is It Enough? | autoX

Royal Enfield hasn’t changed the Guerrilla 450 where you’d expect - the engine stays the same, the performance figures are unchanged, and even the fundamentals remain familiar.

But the Apex variants tell a very different story.

Lower, more aggressive handlebars, road-biased Vredestein tyres, and subtle ergonomic tweaks - on paper, these seem minor. On the road, they completely alter how the Guerrilla 450 feels. This isn’t just a styling update - it’s a shift in character.

At the same time, the Dash variants get smaller but important updates - new colours, revised tyre compounds, and added accessories.

So, the real question is: Has Royal Enfield finally made the Guerrilla 450 the sporty roadster it always promised to be?

Karan spent time riding both versions across twisty roads and a karting circuit in Guwahati to find out.
