The brand is currently road testing the Guerrilla 450 and spyshots reveal that the engine is likely to have been borrowed from the Himalayan 450. However, the brand is likely to offer a semi-digital display with tripper navigation and right side up front forks instead of the long travel USDs on the Himalayan 450.
