The Most Fun Royal Enfield Bike Just Became More Sinister

Last year, Royal Enfield took the wraps off the Guerrilla 450. It made all the right kind of noise, and TopSpeed came back impressed from the first ride, too. However, some of you didn’t like the rather funky liveries, which is what the Indian giant is now trying to fix. As a result, the 450 naked has gotten more sinister for 2025.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Receives New Color Option

2025 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze (2)

Royal Enfield has introduced a new Peix Bronze livery for the Guerrilla. It drapes the motorcycle in a dark metallic bronze finish from head to toe, along with white accents on the side and tank panels for some punch. The result is a more sinister and serious look than the otherwise in-your-face colors.

Speaking of which, these liveries comprise four options aside from the simple Smoke Silver. The Gold Dip has a red-golden finish while Playa Black blends a black base coat with red and yellow accents. Then come the Yellow Ribbon and Brava Blue, where the former has a black and yellow finish with purple accents and the latter has a white base coat with light blue accents on the wheels and chassis.

The Guerrilla 450 Features The Himalayan-Derived 452cc Engine

Royal Enfield

Regardless of the color, the roadster employs Royal Enfield’s first (and only) liquid-cooled engine. It’s a 452cc, single-cylinder unit, good for around 40 horsepower and 30 pound-feet. This reaches the wheel via a six-speed transmission. That’s the same output as the Himmy, but the weight is 27 pounds lower here. You know what that means.

As for underpinnings, it’s a simple package that checks the right boxes. A steel tubular chassis serves as the basis, hanging on 43 mm telescopic forks and a monoshock. 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, shod with beefy 120/160-section rubber and housing single disc brakes, round off the package.

The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Has Yet To Reach American Dealerships

Like what you see? Then, brace yourselves for some bad news. Even though the first ride of the motorcycle happened in the US, Royal Enfield has yet to launch the Guerrilla here. That’s a serious bummer when you think most other markets have already received the roadster. Anyway, it is priced much lower than the Himalayan in all markets, so you can expect a sub-$5,500 MSRP in North America.
