- Different state of tune for the Sherpa 450 engine
- Weighs less than the Himalayan
Guerrilla 450 Colours
RE Guerrilla is available in a total of 5 flashy colour options, scattered across variants. While some of you might not be impressed by the top-spec’s loud dual tones, we have little choice outside of those! Below are the colours and variants.
| Variant | Colour |
| Analogue | Smoke Silver |
| Playa Black | |
| Dash | Playa Black |
| Gold Dip | |
| Flash | Yellow Ribbon |
| Brava Blue |
Design
The Guerrilla is a good-looking motorcycle. It borrows a lot from the Himalayan including the main frame. The sub-frame, however, is new. The motorcycle gets a clean design and rides on 17-inch wheels shod with 120/70 R17 (front) and 160/60 R17 (rear) CEAT tyres. These are the fattest tyres ever seen on any made-in-India motorcycle.
The fuel tank is smaller in comparison to that of the Himalayan, and can house 11 litres of petrol.
Features
The base variant comes with a digital-analogue instrument cluster, similar to the one seen on Super Meteor 650. The Dash and Flash variants get the TFT dash from the Himalayan 450. It hosts various connectivity features as well.

Specifications
The chassis is similar to the Himalayan’s. The Sherpa 450 engine is mounted as a stressed member and there is a new subframe. The 452cc liquid-cooled engine produces 40 PS and 40 Nm, identical to what it does on the ADV. The powertrain has been retuned to better suit the motorcycle’s nature.
The Himalayan’s USD forks have been replaced with a gaitered telescopic setup. The Guerrilla comes with 310mm disc brakes at the front and 270 mm at the rear. The rear rotor comes straight from the Himalayan while the front disc is slightly smaller.
RE Guerrilla 450 weighs 185kg- 11 kilograms less than the Himalayan. The power-to-weight ratio should thus be better here.
Guerrilla 450 Variants And Prices
| Variant | Ex-showroom Price |
| Analog | 2.39 lakh |
| Dash | 2.49 lakh |
| Flash | 2.54 lakh |
In the Indian market, RE Guerrilla 450 will compete with the likes of Triumph Speed 400, Honda CB300R and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401.
