2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450

The Roadster, Reimagined

Raw, responsive and built to make everyday roads a whole lot more interesting, the 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 brings a distinctly modern attitude to the Royal Enfield range.

At its heart is the 452cc liquid-cooled Sherpa engine, producing an impressive 29.44kW and 40Nm of torque. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, ride-by-wire throttle and slip-and-assist clutch, the Guerrilla delivers punchy, accessible performance across the rev range – whether you're cutting through city traffic, carving your favourite weekend route or heading out on the open road.

Wide 17-inch tyres, a low 780mm seat, upright ergonomics and a responsive chassis give the Guerrilla its unmistakable roadster character, while modern technology including selectable ride modes and, depending on specification, Royal Enfield's full-colour Tripper TFT display brings the package firmly into the present.

It's uncomplicated, muscular and genuinely fun – a Royal Enfield for riders who want a little more bite.

Who Is the Guerrilla 450 For?

The Guerrilla 450 is for riders who want more performance without more complication.

With substantially more power and torque than Royal Enfield's 350cc models, it makes an excellent step up for riders looking for stronger performance while retaining the approachable, characterful nature the brand is known for.

Its low seat, upright ergonomics and manageable proportions work brilliantly around town, but the 452cc Sherpa engine, wide tyres and 6-speed gearbox give it enough muscle to make weekend roads seriously entertaining.

It's particularly well suited to commuters, newer riders moving into the middleweight category and experienced motorcyclists looking for a simple, stylish roadster that puts fun ahead of unnecessary complexity.
