When Kawasakhi scooter j125cc will launch sir
I don't think changing the name Gurella royal Enfield will not impress the youngsters to buy , cos, 450 cc may only be the major change the rest nothing new, probably the looks of seat at pallion part is weird to look.. 😊😅 of course few may find it good.. 😊
The Suspension, engine heating, vibrations, and fuel efficiency review on Indian roads is all I need to know now to decide on this one 🎉
Reminds me of people asking about cylinder carrying capacity in scooter review videos in India. 😂
I guess these would be normal things that one would want to know before investing in a bigger bike.
See how well it performs with similar segments.
A no-brainer would directly go and buy one without considering any of these points/ test drives😅
Yeah you will know everything in one ride😢😂
Better to check on Indian Roads rather than Spain
Dont you think he could if he were allowed to ? RE envited evybody to Espanol
They take them to Spain to get positive reviews
@@mohitonutubethen why are English motorcycle channel reviewers are also in spain
Indian roads pe aise Dynamic analysis possible nahi hopata ek hi ride me mere bhai, bas "How is the experience in traffic" karte rehjate
Guirella is a Spanish word and bike name is all guirella so better to launch there.
Though I hate REs.
I started loving this Guerilla450 design. A Perfect scrambler for short riders like me..
didnt you hear the disclaimer, "use RE crash guard to avoid chassis failure". read between the lines.
Yo is that small wheels and stiff suspension makes any sense for you to think it as a Scram😂😂
@@gianigd who's talking about chassis failure.. ?
- Out of context much? @@gianigd
@@mutturaj2983 in this video, time 11:00 to 11: 10.
Either go for 16:9 or 20:9 aspect ration. By doing this black bars on top and bottom you are hurting both the smartphone as well as PC viewers.
Nonetheless this guy's reviews is the sole reason I watch this channel. On point as always 💯
2.3M+ subscribers and 1080p video, come on, man.
And yt reducing bitrate makes it even worse , they really should start posting in 4k
It’s not the subscribers. It’s the manufacturer.
Wouldn’t have been the case if it was a Triumph or an MV
@technoleech 😂Autocar is like the government organization. They don't want to upgrade even if they can. Even newbie channels are concerned about quality these ppl are still lethargic to shift to best quality
Even if they shoot with their phone camera they can shoot in 4K
Hats off you guys who can differentiate between 1080 vs 4k on mobile.
I think it deserves a comparison with Speed 400 and also with CB300R (yeah it's 10hp less but just 153kg )
CB300R is 147kg
Agreed
Speed 400's top speed is around 145kmph, the speedometer has a positive error of around 15kmph so it shows around 160kmph on the speedo.
On the other hand, the sherpa engine delivers a GPS accurate top speed of 160+ on a heavy Himalayan so obviously we'll be getting 160+ on Guerrilla as well.
So yeah RE 450 sherpa engine will win against Triumph's 400cc
Tho both engines are good
If u choose triumph then you'll get better refinement and a lighter motorcycle but if u choose RE then you'll get higher top speed figure and heavier motorcycle and it has the big bike feel too
RE has:
Bigger engine
Higher Top speed
Better instrumental console
Supports bigger tyre profile
Larger service and dealer network
Tho if u choose triumph you'll get a premium feel and a much bigger brand value and a better quality in fit and finish but you'll lose all the points RE has (mentioned above)
@@laveshmotwani3671top speed doesn't mean anything in real world. You wont use it in the city or constantly in the highway
I'd still choose cb300r over any of them.
Plz change. Aspect ratio of your video. It’s little annoying when watching on mobile.
Zoom in
It’s not bothersome
Zoom to fill on your screen
Pinch out to zoom, it's perfect
Its perfect. Just pinch to zoom
Even motorcycle manufacturer are test reviewing in abroad to get rid of pot holes in Indian roads
point!
Absolutely great review! It's so refreshing to see an honest take, unlike those other media outlets that can’t seem to stop kissing Royal Enfield’s boots.
They are bigger player bro. They kiss the boots from big player. Watch the video of the Nissan X trail.
If you were invited by RE all the way to Spain free of cost . You would kiss their boots as well
@@Trackandshield yes but it still. Doesn't make it right
Royal Enfield is now Launching so many bikes that it’s getting hard to pick one up or to wait for the next one.
that explains the chassis failures.. lol
- A troll spotted. @@gianigd
A new Bajaj is born.
@@rohitkejriwal1 the mention of chassis makes you uncomfortable, isnt it? lol
@@gianigd absolutely
Hi Sir
Is the torque too dangerous for a this to be an upgrade from a 110cc motorcycle.
40years old male.
More than 80000km experience, all with 110cc engines.
Can ride aggresively when required with good idea of using front and back brakes.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
It’ll be a big jump in performance for sure. You might like it or you might prefer the feel of the 350s. Take test rides of both to see.
@@RishaadMody1 Ok. Thanks for responding.
The review is awesome as always.
You even mentioned about the company crash guards to avoid chassis issues.
Thanks again.
Not at all. I am your age and I too grew up riding Sub 100 CC bikes and I own an Interceptor now. Any bike needs a honeymoon period when she can understand your inputs and you can understand her outputs. Be cautious with her for about 5000 kms and then push her envelope.
@@ashinterceptorO wow. Thanks for your lovely words. They are confidence inspiring. Just trying to fullfil an ageold dream.
Great review as always, nobody is talking about the tail light. Thanks for noticing that headlamp gap and nobody telling abt it...it looks weird :(
Personally I prefer white/blue. Rest all colours make it look like the hunter, which is nothing much.
I don’t want to do frequent gear shifts in traffic. Can i install 43 tooth rear sprocket to guerrilla 450?
im 5 11, guerilla comfortable? how is tank gripping for tall riders because tank is slim
How is the high speed stability as compared to dominar 400 ?
Great to see RE bringing good varients, hope they succeed in International markets too
which one to pick triumph 400 scram or Guerrilla 450 for 70% city and 30% for long rides?
Triumph for better suspension, more ground clearance, better low and mid range performance for the city.
RE for better top end speed, big bike feel, wider tyres and many color options...of course tons of accessories.
I am upgrading from a hunter and am a small frame guy..Hunter is such a put off on cornerning and am I hearing the same with it ?? Any suggestions folks ?
Try Maverick. You'll be surprised. Such underrated bike.
Can this 450 be someone's first bike ?
can someone from 125cc can directly go to 450 ?
I am facing turning radius issue. Can u explain ?
Now that's how a review should be!
how are the vibrations Rishad ?
Vibrations in the RE bikes is a thing of the past. New engines are very refined.
@@dray1000that is not the reviews of Himalayan. But 450 single is going to vibrate somewhat. Its a lump og metal bsttering up and down thousands of times a min 😂
Mileage?
Guys which one should i choose this or triump scrambler 400x
they could've added a rubber gasket between the headlight adjustment system, something like the fork gaiters,
How is it compared to dominar 400 in terms of vibration, high speed stability and touring capability ?
i want to know what's the difference between the mid and top varient. also
the base varient looks better color wise
Do we get tubeless tyres in the Guerilla 450?
Yess we dooo
This aint gonna change my mind from getting the interceptor
Good for you.
The engine is worth it but the suspension and weight is where the Guerilla will beat it. I own a 2023 Interceptor. The engine is smooth and the feeling of cruising at 100 kmph @ 4000 rpms is just bliss, plus that awesome twin soundtrack which the single 450cc can never match
@@ashinterceptor Totally agree
i rode it yesterday in chittor. i wanted to exchange it for bullet 350 2024. but this bike is not for me. i found it crampy being tall. its meant to be roadster for short rides not a long day riding as i prefer laid back ride . also suspension is quite firm tho it has 6 step adjustable it comes standard at softest setting . now i am waiting for interceptor bear 650 maybe till year end ?
The petrol tank is very small for a long ride. It's there any way we can replace the existing tank with a 20-litre Thunderbird tank?
😂
did you buy welding plant ?
What do you mean by factory options at -1:48
Cn 350 rs vs triumph scrambler and guerrilla 450 which is the best. Need to do a comparison video asap.
Is clutch is heavy as it is having slipper clutch
The Payload is 191 kgs but is the rear seat comfortable and wide enough to accommodate pillion rider. It has become a fashion to have a pretty small pillion seat nowadays e.g. Hunter, 401 Svartpilen, Bigger Apaches, cb300 and more....
Will the chassis break in typical RE style?
would be differently this time
ROYAL ENFIELD MUST PRIORITIZE PRODUCT QUALITY TO OUTSHINE JAPANESE AND BAJAJ COMPETITORS. WITHOUT DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS IN QUALITY, NO LEVEL OF STORYTELLING OR MARKETING WILL SECURE THEIR SUCCESS.
It has come a long way, tbh. A decade back, it was a dying company and now, it is growing not just in India but outside as well. And considering how nitpicky and entitled (in a positive way) the Europeans/Americans are when it comes to having the best of everything, the YoY growth of RE outside, speaks volume of its improving and/or improved quality.
How about an Guerilla 650?
@@MrAkhilvishnu RE is still a looked down brand globally. Even in India it can never compete in niche markets.
@@johanneshll3845 It has its own market, its own place in India; it doesn't need to compete in a niche area here, I'm afraid.
And RE is not the typical commuter/sports segment oriented brand to gain a name anywhere near the Hondas and Triumphs internationally, but it is gaining footing all over, slowly. RE bikes in general belong and appeal to a separate, old-school riding community which was dying but is on the revival thanks to RE (predominantly). And with the Guerilla and the Himalayan, they are trying to appeal to the young crowds of the present age.
Only time can tell whether it will keep this up or not but for now, it is growing and if they improve and keep-up, it will only be a matter of time before RE becomes a globally accepted brand.
Which is a better option regarding everything considered royal Enfield guerrilla 450 or the triumph scrambler 400x
Triump is going to be a better choice bcs of its reliability
Triumph anyday everyday
@@YunusKash02 I hear the services are quite costly and troubling is that true?
400x bro. Better suspension, better torque at low rpm
Triump is reliable? Please tell me how@@YunusKash02
Mileage and top speed?
25 kmpl and 160 kmph
Two black bars in this aspect ratio is a gentle reminder about the dark days of initial ownership and final ownership of RE bikes.
😂😂😂
Please dont play Background Music always! We want to hear the bike sound while it is running 🏍️
Hi Been watching your videos
regularly
U r doing great job nice review
Well one small correction to your comment on tyre size.
Benelli tnt 300 sold from 2015 India has this same tyre specifications
Any Indian brand as mentioned by rishab means what ?
Can we use it for long tour?
With 5 litre water bottle filled with petrol and good knees😂
Wouldn't this bike be dope if it had a double cylinder or a Continental GT engine? The sound and power would be off the hook! Sure, it would be heavier and more expensive, but still...people who love power would love it. This is a sick bike!
If this was 650cc, I would have bought it immediately and added it to my RE collection
Dear Autocar....review it near or at the Gateway of India, Mumbai or near Dharavi.
Saw this bike in showroom today..
Looks small but its big..felt re make first city compatible bomb...
Test road himalayan 450 may be for 2km in city felt not a head of ny cb350 atleast in city.
Fact is my cb350 city ride charactestics is unbeatable except speed 400.
May be guerrila will do that barring refiness
What's the mileage
Ager is ma USD suspension 🚟 hota to ya zada stable rehti muja nehi lagta ya higher speed pa stable reha paya gi
Actually jitna maine dekha hai suspension accha hai par higher speed pe bike hilti hai air resistance ki vajah se. It's not the suspension but the aerodynamics
@@adityan3208 Yar inho na price itna zada Rekha ha or da reha ha telescopic suspension 🚟 ya to price kam kero
We are still waiting for the review of BMW R1300 GS
When it will be releasing
Why should I pick this over the Triumph Speed 400?
You shouldn't
You shouldn't (2)
speed is small
Huge tyre
Better Instrumentation
Ek he type of footage shared by literally everyone
India me reviews ki wait hori hai
Some of the glamshots were looking quite good. A lot of potential to color grade better and also make the shots look more uniform stylistically. Glad to see at least some of the shots benefit from the different setting.
Nice video the presentation was also reliable for tall riders❤
Rishaad Mody, the best bike review presenter out there. #TopClass
Diff b/w this and Hunter?
Hunter is 350cc 😂
@@R_Umesh_Chandra Besides that. They could have just called this Hunter 450.
This if you love revving out you bike, speed 400 if you love calm rides with good acceleration and loads of low end torque.
This or bmw g310r ?
I just want to say that, it’s time to leave your old aspect ratio for the video, it doesn’t look good at all. Black bar on top and bottom, seriously ? It’s 2024 . Well I like your content and it’s a genuine review.
Watching this video with splendor budget.
Rishaad Mody excellent bike review good job cheers
Please consider commenting about the pillion comfort as well. Thanks
Guerrilla ❌ - Hunter 2.0 ✅
Purchasing it soon as it's available in town, right now only one colour available here.
After all the wait, I still feel Hunter is a better looking bike and has its own character.
Love it when you lean the motorcycle
Now try watching the same video by Acko Drive. (especially on a big screen). The video footage will be far far better than here..
BTW the bike review is pretty good. Absolutely no complaints here..
But, please improve, in the video part..
Triumph ain't here. RE actually here and let you at least het on it although road test is bit too much to call 1km in built up area.
Will wait to see reviews on Indian roads but the bike really needs a bigger tank.
Love the colour schemes of the bike!
0:40 which is the other bike with guerrilla 450 ?
I think its a same bike with different colour.
@@bomtonyodu5453 oh yes. thanks. got confused due to the mirror.
should come with mudguard accessory, since its showers mud on to the pillion on rainy days, just took a test ride with soiled shirt on back.
The 11L fuel tank is a bummer!
I'm more interested in knowing how many screws and nuts and bolts fell off after you finished the test ride? 😅
What we will choose between Triumph 400 and guerrilla 😢
5:50 Man your height making guerrilla look tiny 😂
Front shock absorbers travel badana chahiye, gaon k roads pr travel khatam ho jata hai.. ho sake to rear ka v badana hai..thanks
Seems like a lot of inspiration is taken from the Indian FTR!
Am I the first one to spot the UK number plates on the bikes in Barcelona! KO24 reg plate 😊
With all due respect, 3000 RPM is not low end brother😉
I like the mindset behind the design. Jack up the ride height, add a 19 inch front tire and voila, you have the Scram 450. It's only a matter of time.
can we swap shotgun usd suspension in this?
Basically
11 Ltr Fuel Tank - Low Full tank Capacity, Lower fuel efficiency too.
Bad Stiff Suspension
Short seat height with rear placed Footpeg, not good for me with 6.1 height
Bad Low end torque have to keep it above 2.5K rpm
Bad color schemes
Less Gripy tyres not good for cornering
Very bad Service quality and attitude at RE service centers
Only Buy RE Genuine accessories - RE ka Script - please reviewer do not forget to include this, bahut paisa kharcha hua Barcelona me tum logo ke liye :)
Bhai Scrambler 400x kyun na loon ek he ek question ka answer dedo please.
The crash bar warning is necessary. Aftermarket crash bars are breaking the Chassis by shifting the force of impact at the wrong point in the chassis.
Good efforts to make the video long enough as per the UA-cam algorithm.
I have a 450, no gap in the headlamp, why so on the Guerrilla. Maybe a small fly screen would hide it, but it will fill up with all sorts of dirt and debris behind the lamp. It would put me off from buying as it looks cheap in build quality.
I have to apologise my 450 does have the same gap, it’s hidden by the screen.
Please provide a comparison video between speed 400 and guerrilla 450. Many riders would love to know which is the winner!
Speed 400's top speed is around 145kmph, the speedometer has a positive error of around 15kmph so it shows around 160kmph on the speedo.
On the other hand, the sherpa engine delivers a GPS accurate top speed of 160+ on a heavy Himalayan so obviously we'll be getting 160+ on Guerrilla as well.
So yeah RE 450 sherpa engine will win against Triumph's 400cc
Tho both engines are good
If u choose triumph then you'll get better refinement and a lighter motorcycle but if u choose RE then you'll get higher top speed figure and heavier motorcycle and it has the big bike feel too
RE has:
Bigger engine
Higher Top speed
Better instrumental console
Supports bigger tyre profile
Larger service and dealer network
Tho if u choose triumph you'll get a premium feel and a much bigger brand value and a better quality in fit and finish but you'll lose all the points RE has (mentioned above)
Well no Triumph showroom here so RE will win by availability. The tank size is silly though. Is it reliable is my number one question.
@@laveshmotwani3671 guerrilla 450 is a better bike on the whole compared to speed 400 but I wish they had given little long seat for pillion comfort, good color schemes and tail lamp(it kind of feels incomplete).
delicate bike fun to drive only in Spain...
very nice package 👌🏻 rake 21,8 😯 probably new record for road production bike i quess 🤔 or atleast dont wmemeber other bike with more verticsl front fork 👌🏻 r1 24 , rc 390 23.5 daytona 675 22,9 so yea it be probably steeepest front fork ever 👌🏻i would change 3 stuff shorterwhellbase higher seat hight and setup 5 gear instead off 6 beside this like for me 👌🏻☕️
What is the name of ending song ?
I had taken the test ride for the same and i was finding an overheating engine issue...
Honestly the only color I like it s the white/blue. Rest make it look like
Make a Guerrilla vs Speed 400 video
Royal Enfield standard 450. RE should do it without changing engine. That monster will swallow entire market. R&D note it.
Post video about new and best price
They should have brought hybrid cng with this..cng dual cylinder each on sides 2kg each and 9lit petrol or ethanol...then it would have been a real killer...no rnd just same with some tweaks...no usd forks in front, hard suspension.. have to test on our roads ....i think bajaj has only the company who have guts to put a cng hybrid..
Finally, Royal Enfields have stopped looking like Royal Enfields. The Triumph honestly looks more retro than this.
People who rides sporty bike will never ever appreciate its Sitting Posture.
😢
Love Barcilona😍
now that AutoCar has become like every other motor vehicle reviewers, They will Do BRANDING for the Manufacturers , when they are Sponsored for a Trip to Barcelona !!
RE now knows pwople believe UA-cam channels more than TV ads!
