2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 gets a noticeably sportier riding triangle and 17-inch Vredestein Centuro ST tyres amongst other changes

Royal Enfield has introduced the updated 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 in India with prices starting at Rs. 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and it comes less than two years since the debut of the original model. The headline update is the addition of a new Apex variant which takes the Guerrilla’s street-based nature a step further with hardware and ergonomic changes.

The new Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 gets a noticeably sportier riding triangle thanks to a lower and repositioned aluminium handlebar which creates a more forward-leaning stance. Thus, making the motorcycle feel sharper and more engaging especially while attacking corners. One of the most important upgrades comes in the form of tyres.

The new motorcycle rides on 17-inch Vredestein Centuro ST tyres which are more road biased offering improved grip across dry and wet conditions – addressing one of the key criticisms of the earlier offering. Even the Dash and Flash variants benefit from improved Ceat Gripp XL RE tyres with a revised compound and tread pattern.

Ride modes have also been updated across the range. The Street and Sport modes are now more refined and come with a memory function meaning the neo-retro roadster retains the last selected mode even after being switched off. Visually, the Apex variant gets a more aggressive stance with new colour themes in red, black and green shades.

The 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 continues to use the 452 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled Sherpa engine producing 40 PS maximum power and 40 Nm of peak torque. The powertrain is linked with a six-speed gearbox. The steel twin spar frame and overall chassis setup remain the same as well.

All variants continue to get the 4-inch circular TFT Tripper Dash with Google Maps-powered navigation and smartphone connectivity. It provides turn-by-turn directions, ride data and a connected riding tech. Royal Enfield has also introduced a 7-year extended warranty program along with roadside assistance. Additionally, the brand has collaborated with Fairtex for a special edition riding gear lineup and a custom-built Guerrilla 450.
