While the 350cc lineup remains the company’s biggest sales driver, Royal Enfield has been actively promoting its 450cc platform, which includes the Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450. The new Shadow Ash variant is aimed at attracting buyers who want a more muscular and stylish appeal without any price hike.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Shadow Ash – Design & Colourway

- Price: ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom, same as standard colours)

The Gold Drip colour theme is the source of inspiration in Shadow Ash theme. The fuel tank is dual-tone with Black on the front and Olive Green at the back and similar styling on the mudguard, side panels, and rear bodywork.
A touch of individuality is the Royal Enfield tank badge and 450 side panel lettering are in Teal color with matching pinstripes on the alloy wheels. As Royal Enfield adds, this scheme symbolizes force and power making the Guerrilla 450 look more recognised on the road.
Features & Equipment

- TFT Tripper Dash – Bluetooth-enabled with Google Maps, music control, and ride analytics.
- 17-inch alloy wheels with wide 160-section rear tyre.
- Dual-channel ABS for safer braking.
- Telescopic front forks (RSU) & rear monoshock for balanced ride quality.
Engine & Performance
The Guerrilla 450 Shadow Ash uses the reliable Sherpa 450 powerplant that has powered the Himalayan 450.

- Power: 40 bhp
- Torque: 40 Nm
- Gearbox: 6-speed with slipper clutch

Such an arrangement gives a good street ride, pleasant freeway travel, and brisk low-end power to enable occasional off-road work.
