Bookings for the Shadow Ash colorway opened immediately, with sales set to kick off across India on August 25, 2025.
Power-Packed Performance and Design
The Guerrilla 450 Shadow Ash is powered by the reliable 452 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled Sherpa engine, delivering a robust 39.5 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. This powerhouse is mated to a smooth 6-speed manual gearbox, complete with an assist and slipper clutch for seamless gear shifts. The motorcycle’s sturdy steel tubular frame, with the engine serving as a stressed member, ensures durability and agility.
For suspension, the bike features 43 mm telescopic front forks with 140 mm of travel and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock offering 150 mm of travel, providing a balanced and comfortable ride. Braking is handled by a 310 mm front disc and a 270 mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety. Weighing 185 kg, the Guerrilla 450 has a rider-friendly seat height of 780 mm, an 11-litre fuel tank, and a 1,440 mm wheelbase, making it ideal for both urban commutes and spirited rides.
