Saturday, 12 October 2024 06:32 PM Royal Enfield has officially launched the 2025 Guerrilla 450, a new naked roadster, at a global event in Spain. This bike is based on the Himalayan 450 platform and features a 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 40hp at 8,000rpm and 40Nm at 5,500rpm. The Guerrilla 450 is expected to be priced lower than the Himalayan 450 in India. I think this bike will be a game-changer for Royal Enfield in the roadster segment.
Wednesday, 25 September 2024 06:56 PM The Royal Enfield Roadster 450, also known as the Guerrilla 450, has been spotted testing in near production form. The bike features a round LED headlight, LED turn indicators, and a teardrop-shaped fuel tank. It is expected to be powered by the same 452cc engine as the Himalayan 450 but with possible tweaks for better road performance. I believe the simple yet cohesive design will appeal to many riders.
Sunday, 15 September 2024 06:20 AM Royal Enfield is expected to launch the Roadster 450 in India in a few months. The bike will compete with the Triumph Speed 400 and Husqvarna 401. It will come with dual-channel ABS, 17-inch wheels, and a 140-section rear tire. The engine is likely to remain the same as the Himalayan 450, but with adjustments to the mapping and gearing for a livelier ride. This could be a great option for those looking for a fun, affordable roadster.
Wednesday, 21 August 2024 12:10 AM The Royal Enfield Roadster 450 is anticipated to have a revised subframe and conventional suspension, differing from the Himalayan 450s setup. The bike will feature a 43mm telescopic fork with 140mm travel and a linkage-type mono-shock with 150mm travel. Braking will be handled by ByBre components with a 310mm disc at the front and a 270mm disc at the rear. I think the suspension and braking setup will make it a comfortable and safe ride.
Saturday, 10 August 2024 10:01 PM Royal Enfields upcoming Roadster 450 is expected to be priced competitively, likely cheaper than the Himalayan 450. In Australia, it is speculated to start around $8,250, which could translate to a competitive price in the Indian market as well. The bikes pricing strategy will be crucial in capturing a significant share of the roadster market. I believe the pricing will be a key factor in its success.
Thursday, 25 July 2024 07:26 AM The Royal Enfield Roadster 450 will feature a modern and edgy design, deviating from the traditional old bike style of Royal Enfield. It includes a circular instrument cluster, possibly a TFT display from the Himalayan 450, and integrated tail lights. The design aims to balance modern styling with the classic Royal Enfield appeal. I think this new design direction will attract a younger audience.
Monday, 15 July 2024 10:06 AM Royal Enfield has confirmed that the Roadster 450 will be powered by the same 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine as the Himalayan 450. However, there might be slight adjustments to the engine mapping and gearing to make the bike more suited for road riding. This engine produces 40hp at 8,000rpm and 40Nm at 5,500rpm. I believe these tweaks will enhance the riding experience significantly.
Thursday, 20 June 2024 08:15 AM The Royal Enfield Roadster 450 is expected to come with several modern features, including a ride-by-wire system, dual-channel ABS, and a slip-assist clutch. The bike will also have a six-speed gearbox and CEAT rubber on 17-inch alloy wheels. These features should make the bike both safe and enjoyable to ride. I think the inclusion of these features will make it a compelling choice in its segment.
Monday, 10 June 2024 07:03 AM Royal Enfields Roadster 450 has been spotted with minimal camouflage, indicating it is close to production readiness. The bikes design includes a round LED headlight, LED turn indicators, and a compact side panel. The fuel tank and tail section are similar to those on the Himalayan 450 but tailored for a roadster. I believe the design will be well-received by enthusiasts.
Saturday, 25 May 2024 08:45 AM Speculations suggest that the Royal Enfield Roadster 450 might be launched under the name Royal Enfield Hunter 450. This would align with Royal Enfields naming conventions and could help in marketing the bike as a part of the Hunter series. I think this naming strategy could work well in attracting existing Royal Enfield fans.

FAQs

Most Popular FAQs for Royal Enfield Roadster
  • Can the Royal Enfield Roadster 650 live up to the competition of the other middleweight players?

    13 January 2025 07:15

    I'm skeptical. The 650 twin is nice, but it’s underpowered compared to the middleweight competition. There’d also be pressure on RE to drastically renovate the engine, or up the ante with some killer features, because unless then, the more established players might have a hard time stomaching the influx.

  • Will the Royal Enfield Roadster 650’s modern features clash with the brand’s retro image?

    13 January 2025 07:15

    Some die hard traditionalists might be alienated, but I feel most riders will welcome the updates. However, if they continue to maintain the core look and feel, it won’t affect the brand image even if they add some tech.

  • In real world riding, how will the Royal Enfield Roadster 650 perform compared to its 650cc siblings?

    13 January 2025 07:15

    It will be the devil in the details. It can be as simple as small changes in suspension settings, tire choice, and handlebar position that makes a huge difference in how a bike feels. Just because the specs look similar on paper though, doesn’t mean that the Roadster will have the same character on the road.

  • The Royal Enfield Roadster 650 is another 650 twin, or it changes the game?

    13 January 2025 07:15

    I think it's a bit of both. Yes, it's using the same engine, but the way the bike feels can vary tremendously via the chassis and ergonomics. It could be a hit for city riders who find the Interceptor too relaxed if they nail the riding position and add some modern tech.

  • Is the Royal Enfield Roadster 650’s weight going to be a deal breaker for urban riders?

    13 January 2025 07:15

    I think it could be an issue for newer riders or riders that are coming from lighter bikes. In urban settings, RE will need to really nail the balance and weight distribution to make it work. As long as it can keep it under 210 kg wet, it might be okay.

  • Is the Royal Enfield Roadster 450's 40 PS power output weirdly situated between beginner bikes and more serious performers?

    13 January 2025 07:05

    A lot of riders will find 40 PS to be the sweet spot. Being fun without being intimidating is enough. Very nice for daily riding and weekend trips.

  • Will the Royal Enfield Roadster 450’s modern features turn off traditional RE fans, or bring a new audience to the party?

    13 January 2025 07:05

    It’s a smart move to include modern features. In order to continue to be relevant, RE needs to evolve while still not irking the core fanbase, which should attract the younger riders.

  • Can a Royal Enfield Roadster 450 hold its ground against the established players like the KTM 390 Duke in the performance naked segment?

    13 January 2025 07:05

    It doesn't have to be the fastest on paper to the KTM. For riders who want performance but don't want aggressive ergonomics, the Roadster will be the ticket.

  • Can a Royal Enfield Roadster 450 hold its ground against the established players like the KTM 390 Duke in the performance naked segment?

    13 January 2025 07:05

    Face it, most riders never come close to using the full potential of bikes such as the Duke. For most, the Roadster's usable power might be more than enough.

  • The Royal Enfield Roadster 450 – is it just a naked Himalayan or does it have its own identity?

    13 January 2025 07:05

    The naked Himalayan is way more than the Roadster. It’s a completely different riding position, feel, and handling. It’s like saying sportbike and a cruiser are the same thing because they both have two wheels.
