Royal Enfield, a distinguished motorcycle manufacturer, is set to unveil a range of new models in the near future, focusing on the 350-450cc segment. Following the recent introduction of the Classic 350 and Goan Classic 350, the company is now shifting its attention to the 450cc category. In the coming days, Royal Enfield plans to refresh its well-known models, including the Hunter 350, Bullet 350, and Meteor 350. These upcoming iterations will feature new color options and updated graphics; however, no mechanical modifications are anticipated for these middleweight motorcycles.
Company already has some new beasts in their arsenal
The powertrain will continue to utilize the existing SOHC air-and-oil-cooled engine within the 349cc range, capable of producing slightly over 20bhp and a peak torque of 27Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Additionally, the company is developing a café racer variant of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.
In the mid-spec Dash variant, Royal Enfield has introduced a Silver Smoke paint scheme, which was previously exclusive to the base analogue variant. The decision to add this color to the mid variant was made in response to popular demand. Bookings for the new color options have commenced at the brand’s dealerships, with test rides and deliveries scheduled to start on March 10, 2025.
The pricing for this model is approximately Rs 2.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The new color scheme was initially revealed at the Royal Enfield Motorverse festival in Goa last year and was recently showcased at the inaugural Generation Speed Motoring Festival.
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is equipped with a 452 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder Sherpa engine, derived from the new Himalayan model. This engine produces 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and delivers a peak torque of 40 Nm at 5,500 rpm, coupled with a 6-speed gearbox. The Guerrilla 450 is characterized as a modern retro roadster and features distinct gear ratios compared to the Himalayan.
