In terms of updates, it’s unclear what Royal Enfield is planning. However, a report from Rushlane suggests the 2026 Guerrilla 450 could receive a new rear suspension. It could also receive USD front forks, which would signal a transition away from the current telescopic setup.

The report goes on to say that cruise control could become an added feature of the updated model. An update is unlikely to be complete without at least one, if not multiple new colour options, too. 

All the specs, features and details will become clearer once the launch takes place, which according to the report, could take place before the end of March.

Currently, the Guerrilla 450 makes use of a liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 39bhp at 8,000rpm and 29.5 Ib-ft of torque at 5,500rpm. 

It also features a hydraulic 310mm brake disc that’s paired with a two-piston caliper up front, while the rear sees a 270mm disc working with a single-piston caliper. 

The Guerrilla 450 is Royal Enfield’s motorcycle of choice in the UK for its new ‘Ready to Ride’ programme, which is aimed at helping young riders.

Royal Enfield has already begun delivering Guerrilla 450s to some of its training school partners, with more bikes set to be delivered in the future. 

The Indian company is also celebrating its 125-year anniversary in 2026, and as a result several new models are expected to roll off the production line, including motorcycles from its highly-anticipated 750cc range.
