Royal Enfield has launched the Shadow Ash edition for the Guerrilla 450, a move mirroring the trend of dark-themed vehicle releases by other manufacturers. The new colorway was presented at the GRRR Nights X Underground event held in Pune. The Guerrilla, known for its sporty, neo-retro streetfighter design, now offers this new aesthetic option. Positioned as a mid-spec variant, the Shadow Ash trim is available at ₹2.49 lakh, matching the price of the standard color options. Bookings have already begun, with deliveries slated for August 25th across India. The design features a dual-tone fuel tank with black at the front and olive green extending across the rest of the body, along with a black front mudguard and olive-green bodywork. The alloy wheels also feature the color accents. Mechanically, the Guerrilla 450 remains unchanged, powered by the Sherpa 450 engine, a single-cylinder liquid-cooled unit that delivers 40 bhp and 40 Nm of torque. It comes equipped with an electronic throttle, slipper clutch, and a 6-speed gearbox, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-channel ABS, telescopic front forks, and a rear monoshock.
