Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 2026 in detail
Presented at the GRRR Nights festival in Guwahati, the Guerrilla 450 2026 consolidates itself within the A2 segment as a versatile and efficient option in equal measure. A philosophy that takes on even greater prominence this season with the addition of a version clearly focused on the road to the range.
The new Guerrilla 450 Apex 2026 arrives “with an affordable price and improvements designed for the customer, making it an attractive option for motorcyclists looking for exceptional performance on the road”in the words of the brand itself. Although there are no changes at a mechanical level, keeping the well-known 452 cc Sherpa single-cylinder engine unchanged, offering 40 HP and 40 Nmthis variant has a cycle part and ergonomics that amplify its qualities between curves. Among its main characteristics we can highlight:
- Sportier driving position: Lowered and repositioned aluminum handlebar with a more forward-leaning riding triangle for a dominant, sporty-focused stance.
- New road-oriented tires: The APEX variant features new 17” road-oriented Vredestein Centuro ST tires, which retain a sporty DNA while offering improved grip on wet and low-friction surfaces.

- More defined visual and aesthetic identity: New CTG colors, including APEX Red, APEX Black and APEX Green, further enhance the range, providing a more defined visual identity. Standard rim tapes, a sculpted rear seat cover and a color-matched front cover contribute to the bike’s sportier stance.
