Last summer was the first time we had news of what will become, in just a few weeks, the new Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. Then the Indo-British brand registered the commercial name in the Indian patent office, and some local media already ventured to predict the arrival of a “elegant and practical roadster with rebellious scrambler overtones.”
Later, some information suggested that the name of Guerrilla 450 It could end up being replaced by the Scram 450. The possibility is even being considered that Royal Enfield ends up launching both variants with a similar technical and dynamic architecture, although with different philosophies in conceptual terms.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 2024: Coming soon in the brand's COs
The latest news that comes to us from the local media Rush Lane is that this Guerrilla 450 It will be officially presented to the media and the public in just a few weeks. However, before this happens, the logo that the model will definitely wear has been leaked.
This fact also finally confirms that the name will be Guerrilla 450 and not the Scram 450, the one that Royal Enfield will launch on the market in the first instance. It remains to be seen whether this second option will finally materialize. On the other hand, we also know that the new Guerrilla 450 will be presented as an entry option to the brand's 450 range.
With a price of around 240,000 rupees, about 2,675 euros at the exchange rateit would be about 340 euros below the official entry fee of the new Himalayan 2024. That is, 12% cheaper than the versatile Indo-British adventure, although it will share a good part of its components with it.
This price reduction is due, among others, to the fact that the Guerrilla 450 It will not have some premium elements that the Himalayan does have. For example, an inverted front fork, using the brand's new roadster with telescopic equipment. Nor would it include the TFT instrument panel released in the medium-displacement adventure.
In exchange, the Guerrilla 450 It could have a mixed console, with digital and analog information, perhaps the same one that we knew in the Super Meteor 650. Other data to take into account, regarding the essential aspects that will shape this Guerrilla 450, are, for example, the use of 17” wheels on both axles, classically shaped fuel tank or a one-piece seat.
In mechanical terms, the new Royal mount will enjoy the newly released single-cylinder engine from 451.65cccapable of generating 40 HP at 8,000 rpm and deliver a maximum torque of 40 Nm at 5,500 revolutions. This is associated with a 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch and a Ride By Wire electronic accelerator.
