2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Apex Launched At Rs 2.49 Lakh

Royal Enfield has rolled out an update for the Guerrilla roadster, adding a new flagship Apex variant for 2026. It features better tyres and tweaked ergonomics. The 2026 Guerrilla 450 Apex will be sold alongside the standard Guerrilla 450. Both the variants are available in three trims, and the introductory prices start at Rs 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom).

2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Apex: Rs 2.49 lakh to Rs 2.56 lakh (ex-showroom)
2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Dash: Rs 2.49 lakh to Rs 2.72 lakh (ex-showroom)

What Is Guerrilla 450 Apex?

The Apex, as the name suggests, brings a more aggressive riding posture along with better tyres. The Royal Enfield Guerrilla runs on 17‑inch wheels at both ends. The Apex variant is equipped with Vredestein Centuro ST road‑biased tyres, replacing the CEAT Steel radials offered on the standard version. Royal Enfield claims the Vredestein rubber delivers 8 per cent better dry grip and 17 per cent improved wet grip.

The Apex variant features a revised handlebar setup, with the bar lowered by 56 mm and pushed forward by 57 mm compared to the standard model. This repositioning results in a slightly more committed riding stance.

Guerrilla 450 Apex: Visual Differences

The Guerrilla 450 Apex stands apart visually with three distinctive colour options—red, blue and green. It comes equipped with a body‑colour‑matched pillion seat cowl, adding to its sportier appeal. This comes as an accessory in the standard model. Another notable change is the colour‑coordinated hood atop the circular LED headlamp. However, unlike the standard variant, the Apex misses out on the front fork covers, giving it a slightly cleaner, pared‑back appearance.

2026 RE Guerrilla 450: What Has Not Changed?

The 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 series carries forward the same engine and hardware setup as before. Power comes from a 452 cc, single‑cylinder, liquid‑cooled engine that produces 40 PS and 40 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a six‑speed gearbox and features a slip‑and‑assist clutch. Hardware remains unchanged as well, with the Guerrilla continuing to use a twin‑spar frame, Showa big‑piston suspension and dual‑channel ABS. It also offers two ride modes—Street and Sport. The circular colour TFT display is retained, though navigation and connectivity features have been updated, with existing Himalayan and Guerrilla owners set to receive these upgrades via an over‑the‑air update.
