Features
Convenience Features
Like the Himalayan 450, the Guerrilla 450 also gets a 4-inch round colour TFT console that displays information such as speed, fuel gauge, odometer, and distance to empty. It also offers app-based connectivity, allowing you to use music control, call/text alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation, along with Google Maps mirroring, which is easier to understand than standard turn-by-turn navigation.
It comes with two ride modes - Sport and Street. In Sport mode, you get full performance, while in Street mode, the acceleration feels slightly laid back, which should help improve mileage. A Type-C charger is also provided on the handlebar to charge your mobile.
Safety Features
The Guerrilla 450 comes with dual-channel ABS, a slip-assist clutch, a side-stand engine cutoff sensor, and a hazard light switch.To get in-depth details about all the features, you can check out our Guerrilla 450 features explainer.

Rivals
The Triumph Speed 400 gives the Guerrilla 450 tough, edge-to-edge competition. The Speed 400 is smoother, offers better handling, and is also more affordable, while the Guerrilla is quicker.
The KTM 390 Duke may be more expensive than the Guerrilla 450, but it also offers more features, better handling, and a more exciting performance.
The Harley-Davidson X440 also competes with the Royal Enfield bike. Their engine capacities are quite similar, but it is a cruiser-styled bike, whereas the Guerrilla is a roadster.
