Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 styling
The Royal Enfield 450 Apex has got a lowered and repositioned aluminum handlebar that has made the riding-triangle more forward-leaning for a more commanding and sport-focused stance. The bike now gets more road-focused tyres which are the 17-inch Vredestein Centuro ST+, which should give enhanced grip for dynamic riding. There are new updated ride modes which are standard across all variants, Street and Sport, with ride retention, allowing seamless switches and retention of the last ride mode. There are new colours that have launched with the Apex variant, Apex Red, Apex Green and Apex Black. To enhance the sportier looks, rim tapes are standard, and there is a colour-coded front cowl and a sculpted rear-seat cowl.
The Flash and Dash variant will also now get improved CEAT GRIPP XL RE tyres that Royal Enfield claims will deliver better grip due to its optimised tread patterns in wet conditions. Grip levels are claimed to have improved by 8 per cent in dry conditions and 17 per cent in wet conditions. There is also a new Twilight Blue colour on offer that has additional handguards and headlight grill.
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 engine and tech
The 2026 Guerrilla 450 standard and Apex variants retain the same engine, frame and chassis setup from earlier.

The TFT display gives out real-time ride insights and intuitive guidance. The Royal Enfield application has also been updated with user-requested features like full-screen map navigation even when locked (Android specific), Intelligent Auto-Lock and Auto-Wakeup, persistent navigation and a unified global experience which means one app serves all users regardless of the region they are in.
