Royal Enfield has introduced the Shadow Ash color option for the Guerrilla 450, joining the trend of dark-themed editions. The new variant was revealed at the GRRR Nights X Underground event in Pune. Designed to offer a sporty, neo-retro aesthetic, the Guerrilla aims to attract riders looking for a streetfighter with cruiser styling cues. The Shadow Ash trim, priced at ₹2.49 lakh, is based on the mid-spec Dash trim level. Bookings are now open, and deliveries are scheduled to start on August 25th throughout India. The Shadow Ash edition showcases a black and olive-green dual-tone fuel tank, a black front mudguard, and olive-green bodywork. The alloy wheels are also accented with the new color scheme. Under the surface, the motorcycle retains its original mechanical configuration. It features the Sherpa 450 engine, a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine generating 40 bhp and 40 Nm of torque. Other features include an electronic throttle, slipper clutch, and a 6-speed gearbox, along with 17-inch alloys, dual-channel ABS, and a monoshock rear suspension.
