Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 vs Triumph Speed 400 : For the vintage street bikers obsessed with today, 2025 promises a very interesting faceoff between the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, now launched, and the immensely popular Triumph Speed 400. Both these bikes are ideal companions for city rides, weekend fun, and caravan-mileage puja. Which one is actually worth the money? Let us simplify.
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is derived from the Himalayan 450 model, but it is tuned mainly for city and street use. The power plant is a 452cc liquid-cooled engine that produces around 40 PS and 40 Nm of torque, making it very smooth in power delivery and providing good strength down low and in mid-range RPMs. This makes it good fun in city traffic and on the highway, where its retro-modern design with a round LED headlamp, muscular fuel tank with thigh-sculpt function, and relaxed upright handlebars fits perfectly into an easy riding posture. It also comes with a fully digital TFT display with navigation, ride-by-wire, and dual-channel ABS.
In contrast, there’s always Triumph Speed 400 at the waits. It has a 398cc liquid-cooled engine that produces about 40 PS and 37.5 Nm, hence it is nearly as good in terms of performance with the Guerrilla. Very refined, quick, and somewhat easy in handling, Speed 400 proves lightweight compared to this one and with it comes agility into play. Styling honors are cashed with clean and premium looks styled at Triumph standard along with a sporty yet comfy riding position. A digital-analog instrument cluster, ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, and ABS are part of the picture, too.
In terms of specifications, both might be equally packed, and maybe there would be a slight advantage in terms of tech for the price that the bike comes in. The Speed 400 is priced around ₹2.33 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Guerrilla 450 is expected to be slightly higher, around ₹2.60 lakh.
In the end, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and Triumph Speed 400 are almost equivalent in promising performance, good looks, and the latest features available in the market. When it comes down to a rugged feel for touring that translates to nice street biking, the 450 guerrilla actually makes sense, but the Speed 400 would be that perfect pick for anyone who has a heart for a lighter, refined machine with premium styling. Either ways, 2025 is just going to be one huge year for bikers.
