The Guerrilla 450 is designed as a true road-focused roadster with distinctive design elements. It features a circular LED headlamp and LED turn indicators, a sleek 11-litre fuel tank, and a one-piece seat. However, it retains similar body panels, including the tail section, side panels, and a stubby exhaust.
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is powered by a 452cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine, delivering 40Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm and 39.5bhp of maximum power at 8,000rpm. This engine is paired with a slip-and-assist clutch and a six-speed gearbox, ensuring smooth and efficient performance.

The Guerrilla 450 comes packed with features such as ride-by-wire throttle and two ride modes, Eco and Performance, for quick adjustments. While it includes dual-channel ABS, it lacks traction control. The top-end models feature a four-inch circular display with smartphone connectivity, Google Maps, and media controls, plus access to bike settings. The base model offers a digital analogue device, with the Tripper pod available as an optional add-on.
In India, the Guerrilla 450 enters a competitive arena, challenging rivals like the Triumph Speed 400, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Harley-Davidson X440, and Hero Mavrick 440 in the roadster segment.
