Royal Enfield has expanded its 450cc roadster lineup with the launch of the new Guerrilla 450 Apex, priced from ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai). Positioned as a sportier and more focused version of the standard Guerrilla, the Apex brings subtle but meaningful updates aimed at riders who prefer sharper road performance and a more committed riding stance.
The biggest change comes in the ergonomics. The Guerrilla 450 Apex gets a lower and further-forward aluminium handlebar, creating a more aggressive rider triangle. It also swaps the standard bike’s tyres for road-focused Vredestein units, promising better grip and confidence on tarmac. Visually, the Apex stands out with a small front cowl, a removable rear seat cowl, and distinctive colour options including red, black and green.
Powering the Guerrilla 450 Apex is the familiar 452cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine shared with the Himalayan 450, producing 40hp and 40Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. Alongside the Apex launch, Royal Enfield has also refined the standard Guerrilla with improved tyre grip and software updates to the Tripper navigation system.
In this video, we take a closer look at what’s new on the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Apex, how it differs from the standard model, and whether this sportier avatar makes sense for Indian riders.
