ROYAL ENFIELD GUERRILLA 450 : The motorcycle world is buzzing with excitement as Royal Enfield unleashes its latest weapon – the Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze. This roadster isn’t just a fresh coat of paint; it’s a statement that combines retro-cool styling with modern muscle, priced to dominate the mid-capacity segment. Here’s why this bronze beauty is causing sleepless nights for competitors!
Marking its grand entry at the 2024 Motoverse in Goa, the Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze is now available in the mid-spec Dash variant at ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings opened immediately with test rides and deliveries kicking off on March 10, 2025. This launch isn’t just about color—Royal Enfield listened to fans, expanding the Smoke Silver shade from the base Analogue trim to the Dash variant, ensuring style meets demand.
The Guerrilla 450’s design is a masterclass in blending nostalgia with aggression. The Peix Bronze variant flaunts a matte bronze finish with crisp white accents, contrasting against blacked-out alloy wheels, fork tubes, and headlamp casing. Key design highlights include:
: A muscular fuel tank, LED headlight with DRLs, and integrated turn signals.
: Fork gaiters, a stubby silver exhaust, and fat 160-section rear tire for a planted stance.
: Low 780mm seat height, mid-set footpegs, and upright handlebars for city agility and highway comfort.
This isn’t just a bike—it’s a head-turner designed to outshine the Himalayan 450’s ADV bulk with sleek, urban-ready lines.
Underneath its retro skin lies the 452cc Sherpa engine—the same liquid-cooled, DOHC powerhouse as the Himalayan but tuned for road dominance. With 40 PS and 40 Nm torque, this single-cylinder beast rockets from 0–100 km/h in 6 seconds, thanks to an 11kg weight drop over its ADV sibling. Features include:
: Smooth shifts with an assist-and-slipper clutch for aggressive downshifts.
: Switch between Eco (mileage-focused) and Performance (thrill-focused) via the TFT dash.
: Refined engine mounts reduce buzz, making highway cruising at 100–120 km/h surprisingly smooth.
Despite the adrenaline, the 13L fuel tank demands frequent stops on long rides—real-world mileage hovers around 26 kmpl (ARAI claims 29.5 kmpl).
Don’t let the classic looks fool you—this bike packs cutting-edge tech:
: A circular 4-inch display with Google Maps navigation, music control, and call alerts (requires phone screen on).
: Pair via Bluetooth for turn-by-turn directions and ride stats.
: Full LED setup from headlight to taillight, with integrated turn signals for a clean look.
Missing? Traction control and a quickshifter—but at this price, it’s a trade-off riders are willing to make.
Safety isn’t an afterthought. The Guerrilla 450 comes loaded with:
: Confidence on slippery roads.
: 320mm front and 270mm rear discs for sharp stopping power.
: Steel twin-spar frame with Showa suspension (43mm telescopic forks + monoshock) for stability.
Ground clearance stands at 169mm—enough for potholes but keep off serious off-roading.
Priced aggressively between ₹2.39–2.54 lakh, the Guerrilla undercuts the KTM 390 Duke (₹3.1L) and Triumph Speed 400 (₹2.8L). Variants:
: Semi-digital cluster, ₹2.39L.
: TFT display, Peix Bronze/Smoke Silver, ₹2.49L.
: Bold colors, ₹2.54L.
While sales have been slow (349 units/month), the new hues aim to lure buyers wanting exclusivity without breaking the bank.
The Guerrilla 450 isn’t just another roadster—it’s Royal Enfield’s bold pivot to attract younger, style-conscious riders. Sharing the Himalayan’s Sherpa engine but shedding weight for agility, it bridges the gap between retro charm and modern performance. The Peix Bronze launch signals RE’s intent to dominate not just adventure touring but urban streets too.
The Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze isn’t perfect—small tank, no TC—but it’s a smile-inducing machine that nails the basics. For ₹2.49L, you get a head-turning design, punchy engine, and tech that’s rare in its class. If you crave a retro roadster that’s equally at home in traffic and on twisties, this bronze bomber is your ticket to thrill.
: Royal Enfield isn’t just selling a bike—it’s selling rebellion. And with the Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze, that rebellion comes in a shade that’s impossible to ignore.
