Malaysia – 17 March, 2025: Royal Enfield, global leader in mid-size (250cc-750cc) motorcycle segment has continued to offer differentiated motorcycles in Malaysia with the introduction of Guerrilla 450 and refreshed colourways of Classic 350. Both these motorcycles cater to discerning customers in Malaysia and will further strengthen the brand’s stronghold in the country.

The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is a premium modern roadster – meant to remind the world what roadsters are – kinetic, intuitive and eager to play throughout its wide power band. Precisely engineered to be raw, responsive and for visceral riding experience, the Guerrilla 450 is a powerful, versatile and sophisticated motorcycle meant to deliver pure, primal fun, be it the weekday hustle through traffic snarls, a spirited Sunday morning zip through twisties, or long-haul rides on lazy roads.

The Guerrilla 450 is a motorcycle that embodies character, substance and defiance, much like Royal Enfield’s fiercely unique journey of building motorcycles that stand apart from the rest. The ‘guerrilla’ in Royal Enfield has been evident in its portfolio of class-defining and award-winning motorcycles that have challenged dreary monotony, and have been developed for one purpose alone; the pure fun of motorcycling.

The Classic 350 on the other hand offers timeless elegance, old-world charm and unshakable character, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 has represented the culture of classic automotive design, aesthetics and engineering, and the very essence of Royal Enfield’s DNA. Today, as the motorcycle is launched in a gleaming new avatar, the refreshed Classic 350 proudly continues to stay true to its roots and remain the defender of elegance while also continuing to defend accessibility.

Launched in Malaysia in five gleaming colourways, across four new variants- Heritage Premium (Medallion Bronze), Signals (Commando Sand), Dark (Gun Grey and Stealth Black) and Chrome (Emerald) – the refreshed Royal Enfield Classic 350 seamlessly integrates efficient feature upgrades like LED headlamps, LED pilot lamp, gear position indicator on cluster and type C USB charging point, while staying true to its signature aesthetic and character. Additionally, the top variants – Emerald and Dark series – will be offered with Tripper pod as standard fitments along with adjustable levers and LED trafficators.

The timeless, signature design of Classic coupled with perfectly-proportioned silhouette has undoubtedly been the most preferred Royal Enfield motorcycle among the Malaysian customers. With its unmatched design, unmistakable style, unrivalled craftmanship and rare blend of character, the Classic truly stands out. Being a mix of modern engineering and traditional handcrafting, the Classic is a really practical everyday ride as well as quick weekend getaways.

The All-Roadster

The Guerrilla 450 premium roadster is engineered for all kinds of tarmac. With the characterful 452cc Sherpa engine tuned for exciting roadster performance, a steel twin spar tubular frame, a dynamic riding stance that allows upright posture or a slightly sporty lean-in, the Guerrilla 450 truly goes back to OG roadster basics. Its dynamic ergonomics and sprightly performance lend it unparalleled versatility and responsiveness that make for a delightful ride. Guerilla is eager and pliant to do it all, making it a true ‘all-roadster’

GRR – More growl for the prowl
The Guerrilla 450 is powered by the new and advanced 452cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled Sherpa engine and is engineered for an eager and spirited roadster performance. This powertrain debuted in the award-winning Himalayan 450 adventure tourer and has since gained huge appreciation. Equipped with a 4-valve DOHC setup, the Guerrilla 450 delivers an impressive 40 PS at 8,000 pm and 40 NM of peak torque at 5,500 rpm, with more than 85% of this torque available starting at 3000 rpm. Its water-cooled system features an integrated water pump, twin-pass radiator, and internal bypass, ensuring optimal temperature control for peak performance in any condition. The 6-speed gearbox with assist and slip clutch enhances high-speed cruising comfort and adds an extra layer of safety that makes the Guerrilla 450 a true testament to Royal Enfield’s innovative spirit and engineering excellence.

Return of the Real Roadster

The Guerrilla 450 is packed with sophistication, intuition and sensation. It features a stepped bench-seat, a 11 litre fuel tank, LED headlights, trafficators with integrated tail lamp, and an upswept silencer. Without any flashy features or pointless plastics, the Guerrilla has an athletic build with perfect angles, purposeful edges, and muscles in all the right places. Stripped of distractions and engineered with purpose and authenticity, the Guerrilla 450 pays homage to the OGs of roadsters. With its sleek design, performance-led riding geometry and premium build quality, the Guerrilla 450 challenges the norms, bringing a fresh approach to motorcycling. The ergonomics on the Guerrilla 450 are designed to work in harmony with different riding styles, enabling riders to handle everything from fast-flowing sweeping open roads, to tight technical switchbacks. The rider geometry ensures that the stance remains upright thanks to the low seat and mid-set footpegs. With a dynamic chassis the Guerrilla 450 is engineered for agility and quick handling, offering stable yet light handling and easy manoeuvrability. The 43mm telescopic front fork and linkage-type mono-shock at the rear boost rider confidence without sacrificing comfort. Paired with 17-inch front and rear tubeless tires and 1440 mm wheelbase, the motorcycle maintains exceptional stability and control, ensuring a planted and stable, yet nimble ride.

Switch moods. Switch Modes

The Guerrilla 450 offers a dynamic riding experience tailored to the moods of the rider, thanks to its ultra-responsive Engine Management System (EMS) and ride-by-wire technology. With Performance Mode and Eco Mode, the rider can change the throttle response to suit their mood and riding conditions. The top and mid variant of the Guerrilla comes with the new Tripper Dash, a 4-inch infotainment cluster that offers a simple, intuitive user interface. This delivers crucial information exactly when needed, without overwhelming the rider. Featuring full map navigation powered by Google Maps with audio guidance in over 120 languages, the Guerrilla 450 ensures seamless journeys, on familiar routes or new ones. Riders can choose between analog and digital displays, with a dark mode option for optimal legibility in all conditions. Beyond navigation, the interface offers music control, weather forecasts, and comprehensive vehicle information.

DEFENSIVE RIDING

“It doesn’t matter how good you are at riding a motorcycle, heck you could even be a GP rider. But you can’t control others on the road and there will always be that one dumbass that can potentially cause you lots of trouble. Stay safe, stay defensive and stay focused on your bike.”
