Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 enters PH market

MANILA: Motociclista Scatola Incorporated (MSI) has expanded the Royal Enfield’s lineup for the Philippine market with the launch of the Guerilla 450.

In a statement, the company noted that the marque’s premium roadster offers versatility and fun — be it in snarling traffic during weekdays or spirited riding on weekends.

“The Guerrilla 450 is an absolutely gorgeous and game changing roadster. When we started with the Sherpa 450 platform, we envisaged an adventure tourer and a superlative roadster that would be distinctly Royal Enfield. The Guerrilla 450 is just that - a roadster full of character and confidence. Developed in parallel with the Himalayan, the Guerrilla is tuned to perfection for city riding as well as weekend rides through twisty roads,” Royal Enfield Business Head for Asia Pacific Region Anuj Dua said.

“We’ve had a great time testing this motorcycle and riding it around the world. It really grows on you and allows you to grow in confidence as a rider. We are confident that riders in the Philippines will have an absolutely amazing time on this motorcycle owing to its riding position, superlative handling and engine performance. It is super responsive and absolutely gorgeous to ride at everyday speeds, and equally delightful when revved through its paces on full gas,” he added.

Below are some of the notable information about the Royal Enfield Guerilla 450.

Vehicle specifications

The Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 measures 2,090 millimeters (mm) long; 833 mm wide; and 1,125 mm tall — with a 780-mm seat height, and 169-mm ground clearance.

Its tank can carry up to 11 liters of fuel while its dry weight and payload capacity are 174 and 191 kilograms, respectively.

Its on-road-biased design is complemented by its stepped bench-seat, LED headlight, trafficators with integrated tail lamp, and an upswept silencer. In addition, the motorcycle sits on 17-inch tires.

At the heart of the motorcycle is the 452 cubic centimeter, single-cylinder, double overhead cam, four-valve, electronically fuel-injected, liquid-cooled Sherpa engine (which is also found on the Himalayan) paired with a six-cylinder manual transmission.

The powertrain combination can deliver up to 39 horses and 40 Newton-meters of torque. On the other hand, its stopping is guaranteed by the disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system.

Further, Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 also has an engine management system (EMS) and ride-by-wire technology. Drivers can also adjust the throttle response from Performance Mode and Eco Mode to fit the riding conditions.

 

Assuring stab

ility and maneuverability are its tubular frame made up of steel (uses engine as stressed member) as well as the 43-mm telescopic fork suspension at the front and linkage-type mono-shock for the rear.

Some of its modern amenities that made it an everyday road warrior are the four-inch digital cluster that offers full map navigation powered by Google Maps, music control, weather forecasts, Tripper Dash, an electric starter, and slipper clutch.

Packaged with a three-year, unlimited mileage warranty under the “Borderless Warranty” program, the Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 is offered in three trims namely Analogue, Dash and Flash.
