Royal Enfield has finally launched the 2026 version of the Guerrilla 450 motorcycle at an exciting starting price of Rs 2.49 lakh, ex-showroom. This is the first time the Guerrilla 450 is getting an update since its debut two years ago. The 2026 version of the Guerrilla 450 is actually Rs 7,000 cheaper than the outgoing model. The motorcycle is available in Apex, Dash, and Flash variants. The ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom) price is for the Apex and Dash variants. Bookings for the new Guerrilla 450 have commenced, and deliveries will start from March 31, 2026.
Royal Enfield has truly hit it out of the park with the pricing of the 2026 Guerrilla. Apart from the attractive price tag, there are a few more changes in the 2026 version of the motorcycle. In terms of design, the Guerrilla 450 looks the same as the previous version. However, if you look closely, you will notice that the motorcycle now comes with a lower and repositioned aluminium handlebar.
This changes the rider’s stance. This more committed riding position would actually come in handy while cornering. Other than this, Royal Enfield has also updated the tyres on the Guerrilla 450.
The motorcycle now gets 17-inch Vredestein Centuro ST tyres, which are more road-biased and are expected to improve overall grip in both dry and wet conditions.
The Dash and Flash variants also get the option of Ceat Gripp XL RE tyres, which come with a revised tread pattern. Royal Enfield has also made changes to the ride modes on the motorcycle. The Sport and Street modes have been tweaked and now come with memory functions.
The motorcycle is available in Red, Black, Green, Twilight Blue, Shadow Ash, Smoke Silver, Peix Bronze, and Brava Blue shades. The price for the Guerrilla 450 starts from Rs 2.49 lakh, ex-showroom, and goes up to Rs 2.72 lakh, ex-showroom (depending on the variant and colour chosen).
It is not clear whether the brand has made any changes to the suspension setup, especially the rear monoshock. Like most Royal Enfield models, the Guerrilla 450 also comes with a range of official accessories. Mechanically, the Guerrilla 450 remains unchanged. It comes with a 452 cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled Sherpa engine that generates 40 PS and 40 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
The motorcycle continues to use the same frame and offers a 4-inch circular TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity and navigation.
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has been launched at an aggressive price, and one of the reasons behind this could be rising competition. Triumph and Bajaj are currently planning to launch 350 cc motorcycles in the market, and they are expected to be priced lower than current offerings while also benefiting from GST reforms. To retain customer interest and keep the product relevant, Royal Enfield has introduced the Guerrilla 450 at such an attractive price point.
