Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has been launched in India. It is based on the Himalayan 450, So, there are few parts that are being shared between them. However, the Guerrilla 450 is a roadster where the Himalayan is an adventure tourer.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has been priced at ₹2.39 lakh ex-showroom introductory. Bookings in India are open and test rides and retails would start from 1st August. There would be three variants on offer – Analogue, Dash and Flash.
The ergonomics of the Guerrilla 450 are different than the Himalayan. They are more aggressive to provide a bit more leverage to the rider. The handlebar is lower and the foot pegs are rear set.
