When Royal Enfield introduced the Himalayan 450 with an official unveiling in 2023, we knew that it wouldn’t be long before we saw other machines that used the same liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor. It was the logical move, and besides, Royal Enfield themselves told us that would happen, quickly. How quickly? Get ready for the new Royal Enfield Guerilla 450, coming to you in mid-July.

The first look at the bike came from social media, with reveals of the bike from RE’s management and a teaser from Isle of Man TT legend Guy Martin.

Here’s a look at the bike courtesy of Siddhartha Lal, Royal Enfield’s managing director:

And here’s another viewing angle of the Guerilla 450, from Govindarajan Balakrishnan, Royal Enfield’s CEO:

And here’s Guy Martin, telling us he’s excited to promote the new bike when it’s officially revealed:

On July 17, the bike will be officially unveiled in-person in Barcelona, but you can also expect a virtual reveal over YouTube and probably other Internet streaming sites.

When it gets here, we expect the engine to have the same tune as the liquid-cooled 450 Himalayan, as that’s practical and keeps costs down—expect 40 horsepower and 19.5 pound-feet of torque from the engine. It’s the most up-to-date engine in Royal Enfield’s lineup, with shim-under-bucket valve adjustment, EFI, and two ride modes. Switchable ABS comes standard, and Tripper GPS. We expect to see those on the Guerilla 450 as well, with the same basic frame (maybe a change to the steering angle) and 19-17 wheels.
