Royal Enfield has added to its mid-capacity range with the Guerrilla 450 Apex, a sharper, more road-focused take on the popular 450 model. Priced at ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom), this sportier version is aimed at riders who want a more aggressive street riding feel.
Guerrilla 450 Apex design
The Apex model brings subtle but noticeable styling updates:
- New headlight cowl, similar to Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Royal Enfield Shotgun 650
- Removable rear-seat cowl for a cleaner look
- Signature LED lighting setup
It comes in red, black, and green, adding to its bold street presence.
Guerrilla 450 Apex ergonomics
The biggest change is in the riding posture:
- Handlebars lowered by 56mm.
- Positioned 57mm forward
This creates a more aggressive riding position, making the bike feel sportier and more exciting, especially at higher speeds.
Guerrilla 450 Apex engine
The Apex keeps the same reliable engine setup:
- 452cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine
- 40 hp and 40 Nm torque
- 6-speed gearbox
This offers a good balance between performance and everyday use.
Guerrilla 450 Apex performance
While mechanical specs remain unchanged, the revised ergonomics enhance:
- Cornering confidence
- Rider engagement
- Highway stability
The bike is designed more for road performance than off-road use.
Guerrilla 450 updates
Along with the Apex launch, Royal Enfield has upgraded the standard Guerrilla 450:
- Ceat Gripp XL tyres upgraded
- 8% better dry grip
- 17% better wet performance
- Connectivity upgrades
- Android users can mirror Google Maps on the Tripper dash
- Updated app with enhanced ride data

Guerrilla 450 Apex verdict
The Guerrilla 450 Apex is a targeted upgrade rather than a full redesign. With sharper ergonomics, better grip, and improved tech, it’s made for riders who want a more exciting street bike without paying more.
