Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Set for Nepal Launch on May 11; Bookings Now Open

Royal Enfield is preparing to officially introduce the 2026 Guerrilla 450 range in Nepal on May 11, with bookings already open ahead of the launch.

The roadster, which first debuted in 2024 in India using the same 450cc platform as the Himalayan 450, finally arrives here in its 2026 iteration with a set of updates and a revised variant strategy.

A key update is the introduction of the Apex variant, which was recently launched in India as the new flagship of the Guerrilla lineup. In Nepal, it will be offered alongside the existing Dash and Flash variants, expanding the model’s reach for different riding preferences.

Mechanically, the Guerrilla 450 remains unchanged. It continues with a 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine producing 40.02PS at 8,000rpm and 40.02Nm at 5,500rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The motorcycle is underpinned by a steel twin-spar tubular frame and uses telescopic front forks with a linkage-type monoshock at the rear.

Braking hardware includes a 320mm front disc and 270mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS. The bike features an 11-litre fuel tank, a kerb weight of 185kg, and a seat height of 780mm. It continues to ride on 17-inch wheels at both ends.

All variants come equipped with a 4-inch circular TFT display offering smartphone connectivity and Google Maps-based navigation. Ride modes (Street and Sport) now also retain the last selected setting across ignition cycles, improving everyday usability.

Positioned as a more road-focused and premium iteration, the Apex variant brings important  ergonomic and hardware revisions. It features a redesigned riding posture with handlebars set lower and slightly farther forward, creating a more engaged and mildly aggressive stance compared to the upright standard models. 

Visually, the Apex variant is distinguished by exclusive colour options including Red, Black, and Green, along with rim tapes, a sculpted rear seat cowl, and a colour-coded front cowl, giving it a more premium and aggressive identity within the range.

With this launch, Royal Enfield aims to strengthen its position in the mid-capacity roadster segment, where the Guerrilla 450 will go up against rivals such as the Triumph Speed 400.
