The streetbike continues to be based on the Sherpa 450 engine, which also underpins the Himalayan 450, and carries a range of updates for the latest model year.

The Guerrilla 450 Apex comes with 17-inch Vredestein Centuro ST road-biased tyres that should provide better grip and on-road performance when compared to the chunkier units on the older model

This is paired with new, road-biased 17-inch Vredestein Centuro ST tyres that are claimed to perform well in the wet or low-friction conditions. Compared to the chunkier units on the older model, this will translate to better on-road performance and more grip, which should enhance its overall riding dynamics and suit its street-focused DNA.

Riding modes have been tweaked for refinement and add a mode retention function that allows the rider to seamlessly switch and retain the last selected mode across ignition cycles.

These are combined with styling updates such as a sculpted rear cowl and a colour-coded front cowl to add to the Guerrilla 450’s sporty credentials.
