The 2026 Guerrilla 450 could be introduced with meaningful updates related to the rear suspension, features and colour schemes
The 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is likely to launch in the Indian market later this month. It could be introduced with an improved suspension setup, new features and refreshed graphics, identical to the 2025 Hunter 350 which went on sale last year in April. The Guerrilla 450 debuted in July 2024 in three variants namely Analog, Dash and Flash between Rs 2.39-2.54 lakh (ex-showroom). However, recently the company increased the prices to 2.56-2.72 lakh (ex-showroom) due to the implementation of GST 2.0 in the country.
Coming back to 2026 Guerrilla 450, it could be offered with an updated rear suspension on the basis of customer feedback. It has been heard from several existing owners that the rear suspension of the bike is a bit stiff and hence less effective on patchy surfaces. The Hunter 350 was also rolled out with an updated rear suspension last year as several customers had similar issues.
It is being reported widely in the media that the 2026 Guerrilla 450 could also come with cruise control as a standard feature. Though the roadster is already a feature-rich model and hence the inclusion of cruise control will further accentuate its appeal and make it a wholesome package. It could also get USD front forks in place of the telescopic front suspension.
Mechanically, it will remain unchanged with the same 452cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled Sherpa petrol engine at the helm. This engine produces max power of 39.7 bhp and peak torque of 40 Nm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox along with a slipper clutch. The Guerrilla 450 is at loggerheads with Triumph Speed 400 and Harley-Davidson X440 in the Indian market.
The Guerrilla 450 has a saddle height of 780 mm which is around 45 mm less than the Himalayan 450. The shorter seat height makes it more comfortable, accessible and acceptable among buyers as compared to the Himalayan 450 which troubles riders with short height. The wheelbase stands at 1440 mm which is also 70 mm less than the Himalayan 450.
The roadster has a fuel tank capacity of 11 litres, which is 6 litres less than the Himalayan 450. Riding on 17-inch front and rear alloy wheels, it rides on radial dual-purpose tyres which have been developed by Ceat. The stopping power comes from disc units at both ends which work alongside a non-switchable dual-channel ABS.
