Yeah a slight bit more @@shivasharma6856
Or course @@shivasharma6856
@@shivasharma6856probably 3+ in most states. Now how will this give competition to Triumph twins? This doesn't have Triumph brand recall, just a Himalayan trying to be a Speed 400.
Hey guys, I think it not just compares to likes of x440 and speed 400 but I guess there can be fair comparison between them and the bike that no one talks about, cb300r ( yeah its 300 but weigth is also just 156kg)
People are not realizing the beauty and features of this bike. This bike is a heaven for short riders like us. I had my eyes in triumph speed 400 but looks like it has a new competitor.
You should also consider Honda CB300R.
👍
How short are you ?
S me too
I am 5'3"
Finally someone has brain
After decades, now RE has realised - reduce the seat height for the average Indian & watch sales boost exponentially...
Exactly.
Bro a very welcoming change...❤❤
Excellent observation. It was much needed. These bikes will also do well in Japan now SE Asia.
Should be pinned. ❤
What're you saying, they've always been low. Only with the Himalayan the seat height was a bit high.
After decades? Dude if you think bullet had high seat, you must be a dwarf.
These are the best times for motorcycling in India . So many bikes so many choices !
I prefer this in the current crop of 400* CC bikes for reasons:
Widest Tyre Profiles - Confidence
Low Seat Height - Comfortable
Mobile Pairing/Mirroring - Connected
Weight - Okay
Preferred Drive Destinations - Local + Office
Man low seat height and the widest tyre profile....
Just made the bike have it kinda feeling❤
Widest tyre means nothing. This is not a track bike lol and not a Cruiser so what's the need of 160 tyre🤡. Na KTM me aata hai 160 na Super meteor mein.
Which ktm comes with 160 section tyre man?@@shahan484
@@shahan484 Wide tyre will give more traction (cornering also) + stability on higher speeds. This engine has proved effective for high speed cruising.
@@darkseid1358 what i meant was, if dedicated Cruiser like Super Meteor 650 has 150/ tyre, how does it help this bike more in cruising? And if dedicated track bike like Duke 390 doesn't have 160/ tyre, then how will it help RE Guerilla? 🤣
Honestly the bike might be great but the embargoes are tiring …. Firstly the first looks then the walk around then the track riding the finally there will be real world review…. It gets tiring for the viewer…. Everybody is guilty f this nowadays on youtube….. Sucking out more time than they should….
Embargo is set by the company because it wants more hype and less information to pass out, aside from what the marketing team wants.
1st time?
You do realise you can just watch the main review after the launch 🤡🤡
You usually have only 2 videos
1. Walkaround
2. Review
@@swaggychicken. yes I am aware of that. So why don’t you just go and watch the review right now for me real quick when you know the bike will be out later this month and there is only a first impressions video on your feed. And while you do so can you also watch the Thar ROXX review as well. It also is highlighted so many times on the channel as well. And next time you use 🤡 or 🗿, just make sure you read and understand whatsoever is addressed in the comment properly.
When i bought Meteor in the early 2021, folks come to me to call me a fool for choosing meteor instead of highness. But now the peace of mind, satisfaction, the growth of RE all make my happiness no boundaries.
@@bmk7890 can't compare superior Japanese tech to RE.
And you’re still a fool
@@MadMaxDreamerHonda highness is no where near the standard of outside India's HONDA
It's just another commuter lol
@@Fafnir2000 Ride a Honda then say that 😅
@@MadMaxDreamer ofcourse I won't mutter stuffs without knowing what is what like you
400 -450cc segment is becoming interesting now
agree , it has become an entry level now
@@KiranKumarAshokentry level? you call 3-4lakh bikes entry level?
@@tanishqb385 definitely not for me , but nowadays college kids are getting these as their first bike
@@KiranKumarAshokDad's are getting richer. 😅
@@MadMaxDreamer ha ha true, I am working since 10 years , all i was able to afford was a Gixxer 155 5 years back
04:22 How cleverly RE managed to give the same headlight from Inty/Him450 and gel it beautifully to this bike and still give it a different look. That fork boot and flush fitting headlight styling is clearly inspired from Harley Iron series.
White and blue one looks the Best ❤
Pillion seat should have been longer and spacious. These manufacturers giving such small pillion seats, think all riders live "single" and alone their whole life ?
For once let a man have his style over functionality. The Indian mindset of always having just absolute functional things only, is the sole reason we can't have good looking things in a budget... And honestly the seat isn't even as small as you are making it look like...
Just wait till bro learns about prototypes and and launch day changes and aftermarket seats
Ride and speak..
This is not a family bike .
They only focus on looks 😂
No USD forks at any of those prices. I know it's not necessary or practical for Indian roads but the Triumph Speed 400 is absolutely worth every penny.
Connectivity features?
@@AJASP.K as if even the base variant will get the tripper navigation as standard. I'm not a Triumph fanboy, but it's because of them and Bajaj that RE has decided to price it like this unlike the illogical pricing of the classic series.
Zero road presence. I hate it with every inch of my frame. As a 6 footer it didn't add any value to either my personality or looks.
@@MadMaxDreamermatter of preference I loved the test ride.... Also got many looks on the road
@@MadMaxDreamerTrue. People are queuing up for the Triumph badge. Looks wise it's dull and boring.
"Rishta wahi, soch nayi"
The graphics on the tank and the side looks are giving it a more stance🔥
lagta hai Royal Enfield in thoda thoda sabse lekar bana diya hai!
Looks - Hunter
Engine - Himalayan
Feature - kaun mangta hai RE se?
Paisa - let's set it like that... bich-bich ka laga lete hain!
They havent price aggressively, meaning they have done less cost cutting? Thats a good thing coz i understand as a 1st batch interceptor owner it had a killer price but i am still facing quality issues and niggles.
Il reserve my coments on the choice of telescopic suspension over usd after the review comes out.
But damn they are good looking bikes.
Bajaj priced the Triumphs very aggressively (even if it hurts their profit margins) to build an initial momentum. RE is more confident of its wider appeal (owing to its larger sales and service network), so they wouldn't need to reduce the price too much.
RE doesn't have to worry about loosing market share anymore. They are essentially Apple of Indian market, can pu t out whatever they want and don't have to worry about pricing of the product
They should have named it Hooligan. An excellent all rounder for average Indian riders esp the ladies who want to tour. No fuss. Wide tyres. Showa suspension. Useful gadgetery bits. Globally tried and praised engine with great gear ratios. Low cost, low weight due to single cylinder but enough punch for even enthusiasts. 6 gears hopefully. And for the price. I think they have the perfect adventure bike for budget buyers here. A lot is left desired but to avail such one must pay for a bike and mind you those bikes too have stupid expenses every now and then. So enjoy this superb launch.
Another beauty from RE❤
Though it's a telescopic suspension, it's from Showa.. expecting a balanced ride quality
As a short guy, the low seat looks interesting. Hope it isn't too wide ruining the happiness
Even if the price is less i still not go for this i can easliy see panel gaps all around the frame joints just look at that headlight gap RE really needs to work on fit and finish.. engine is no doubt good one
I just hope it's comfortable and plush cause we really need a bike that can take on our great road a bit comfortably.
Stiffness is good on high speeds but in city and rough roads it's so uncomfortable 😣😣, all the bikes above 200cc that I have ridden were just uncomfortable.
I like going on short to medium range journey on my super Splandor rather than on my 390 or rtr 200 for that matter.
Highways are ok but all things in between are just pain in the spine.
Absolutely. This is especially true during the monsoon when potholes on the road are filled with water, making them difficult to see.
Dude a roadster is supposed to be sporty if ur so soft better ride your super splendor all day long
@@idrisahmed2659 You are chapri aren't you.
Only a chapri would say such things.
These conversations are for experienced riders not for chapris.
@@nishantgurjar7232 😂😂 a chapri doesn't give a damn if the suspension is hard or soft .... Experienced riders know what kind of suspension goes well with what sort of bike ..... U might be a chapri who goes around riding his orange gen 1 rc 200 and doens't even know the B of biking
Bro are you stupid?? This is a 400cc roadster, who in their right mind would go touring on it on "great roads of the highway"????????
small fuel tank will be a problem ... should have been 14 liter.. but this bike is damn sexy.
Offering more than 1 seating options for both short and tall riders in mind should become a thing. Good job royal enfield 🎉
Apart from fact it wasn't an option but wasteful accessory on Himalayan 😢
@@virupakshawalla5734 yes, but still an option is better than no option at all.
@@Jake-fp4ii i agree but its still a scam; you should be able to choose to upgrade tyres Seats etc when you order at difference in price. Its common practice in many transactions. The price of some RE accessories are ridiculous too. Some price gouging goes on.
Looks so good man!
Thanks Rishaad!
Bike looks nice for an urban runabout. Hope there are no issues or niggles. Will await your proper review.
Cheers
Enfield's design team is the best one by huge margin in india.
please make a video on ,why the seat length is decreasing now a days in all the new bikes.
For people who commute wearing formal learher shoes, a heel and toe shifter is also a factor to be consodered while choosing a bike
One suggestion I think you shouldn't have parked the motorcycle against the wall !! You should park it where you can walkaround it and show us !! It will give us better visual from all the sides
Best meter console 👌.
Why did they make the instrument cluster off-centered??? I don't see any reason for making it off centered. I hope there is a visor accessory.
It’s ironic how the length of the video is 4:40, Autocar team knew what they’re doing XD
Whoa
It's pretty comfortable with 770mm seat height in TVS Ntorq. I drive Avenger 220 as well and that's easy thing for 5'2" me.
Since seat height 780mm, this might be golden chance for me to get RE finally.
Might as well test drive the triumph speed 400
you missed one thing the rear suspension looks same as himalayan but the geometry or angle is modified for this bike❤
A nice bike. I think that is gonna be a success. I subscribed.
idk why but this bike gave me goosebumps.
Looks like a blast! Would be super-fun around town.
Speed 400 looks awesome 👌 writing for final review
rs2-3lakh bike segment is on fire these days 🤘🏼
11 ltr tank is big thumps down. 15ltr would have been ideal. Tank range around 250 to 300 kms would be good. Big thumps up for providing main stand 😂
Maybe they needed to keep the weight under limits so that the bike handles well with a full tank.
@@vineethg6259 yes might be
Triumph 1200 Bonnie has a 12 litr tank, so it doesn't matter for the purpose this is built, city travels and weekend fun.
With 11 litres, you can easily get a range of 300+ on highways
@@warmfishsalad very narrow margin.
Honestly, something on this bike feels missing. The Himalayan 450 was built for a purpose, this feels built at a price
Yours is a biased opinion. The bike looks good
i feel you man, feels like a bike with mixed character
This is a roadster version of the 450 platform that is meant to appeal to a wider audience, including shorter riders. That is its purpose.
@@vineethg6259right
Same here
450cc bike with 11 liter fuel tank, usable capacity may be 8.5~9 liter only. I think RE has lost it. That's the deal breaker for me 💔
Does seem silly. Even 12 i have on my 150s would have made a difference. Range will be pathetic 😢
RE was supposed to build a scrambler and instead built a Roadster. A big miss l feel. The 19 and 17 inch wheels would have taken it right with the Triumph 400 Scrambler.
Most people dont know the difference. I dont care weather its a roadster or srambler
@@praneethjayasimha5943 Ya this comment was for the knowledgeable crowd. You may ignore the same
Yeah right, but I feel they did it on purpose as the scram 411 is still on sell today..and making another doesn't make any sense for them..maybe they thought to make a roadster instead. Do you like the looks of guerrilla?
@@whoisthere.7 No bro. Off late l am unable to understand the colour and the style of the RE bikes. Super Meteor was the last bike which looked good. I don't know what they are upto.
@@prasunbose3114Add a aftermarket straight handlebar and a couple of custom made side panel number boards on this bike and it will give a scrambler look. The Original Idea of scrambler is that it should be extremely customisable like they do it in the foreign countries and that is as per the knowledgeable crowds are concerned which you said earlier.
Only out of the box, Great Scramblers are Ducati Scrambler NightShift, Desert Sled and The Triumph one. Rest of the scramblers in the market will always need customizations after purchase.
A proper front mudguard! Yay!
Awesome looking Bike. Royel Enfield is launching very good looking Bikes Nowadays.
Way can't they do something clean like look at the back mudguard section. Re just take their Himalayan and reduce suspension travel, reduce seat height, make a connection with handle and headlight and there it is the with a New name, the scrambler 411,the guerrilla 450.
What exactly do you mean by "clean" here? You wanted them to engineer this bike from the ground up with a new engine, new frame and new componentshsraing nothing with other bikes in the RE lineup? That's a going to cost a lot of time and money which is going to reflect in the pricing. So they develop a platform and spawn multiple models out of it sharing many components. Its the economies of scale that allow companies to price their products competitively.
@@vineethg6259 ya i don't care about same engine or frame or console or anything but atleast they should change the design. Just look at the ns and rs, same in the inside but in the out its two bikes. U can't just go on labeling things which are not really those things. If I show a person who don't know shit about bikes, the ns and rs, or the g 310 or gs 310. They will say it's 2 different bikes. But I show him a Himalayan and scram 411 he would say that's the same bike. Atleast try to make something different that meets the naked eye. Front section of guerrilla is different but the tail is same to same. And that too looks shit. Let's talk about another situation, if I took the tenre and connect the headlamp setup with the handle and reduce the suspension travel will it be a scrambler. I am too depressed with the scrambler they made from Himalayan, ask them to go and study wat a scrambler is, even a second grade kid would know the difference. Go and look at the bsa gold star and scrambler concept. Ya the best way to explain my idea to u is the xpulse 200 and the xpulse 200 t, the did the same thing reduced travel and kept the same thing mostly and they didn't changed the name to supermoto 200 or ghenkis khan 200. + Look at the gt650,int 650,(shotgun and meteor) all shares same things but are so different from outside, ergonomics ect. So they know how to do things but they try to tie hands when it comes to Himalayan.
Rishaad the modes may not change until you turn the kill switch on I’m guessing. Most of the motorcycles are set up that way. I saw the kill switch off hence saying.
Cheers.
Screen flash depends on camera speed capability.
It's a very great machine .planing for buying
Royal Enfield is one of the favourite bike in lndan
I’m an Indian bike lover . After looking the whole video repeated twice… we know that this bike is obviously a nice good looking bike. But
Triump scrambler is still the next level✌🏻.
This bike looks interesting ❤
The single tone grey color gives me Guzzi vibes
Looks like comfortable for single person.not the pillion friendly seat which could affect the sales. !
No seat for pillion
Same model
Different paint scheme
Thats all
😎
I like the design especially the exhaust is angled upward comparing to the Kawasaki Eliminator. However I didn't see the brake light, I look forward to seeing where the brake light is going to be located on the final product!
This IS the final product, same rear light setup as the Himalayan.
Break lights integrated into the turn signals
Is it top heavy like the Himalayan 450?
It's a bold move fitting 120s and 160s, but for such a small bike it would look a little overkill
price is attractive, but bike is not what i expected. waiting for full review.
Engine is the same but tank size has been reduced. By the looks of it, it is a city bike. Are they expecting us to run to the fuel pump everyday?
Waiting for review on Indian roads
Royal Enfield standard 450. RE should do it without changing engine. That monster will swallow entire market. R&D note it.
Well designed by Royal Enfield, Retro scrambler/Roadster
Hi
I Guess Auto Car Team Is Giving Preview From 🇬🇧UK RE Factory
Where is the tail lamp ?
Not good looking, its a combination of himalayan and hunter?
Looks good to me
This is perfect bike for college student like me
I hope yiur buying it not your folks lol. Otherwise old splendour is what you should have 😂
tail-light ?
Major question: Will it be the same is going to be launched in India?? Same specifications??
It looks great but the 11 litre fuel tank is a big miss from RE.
One of the best value for money as they give the 450cc LC engine, wide tyres, comfort and stability because of higher wheelbase etc.
But this lack purpose. For city, manageable as they improved low end torque by tuning , but road review yet to come, as they reduced number of teeth in rear sprocket. Also not much good for long trips. For occasional trips and daily commute, many bikes are available from reliable companies.
A scrambler would have preferred than a roadster, even price increases by 20k, with a seat height of 800-810 mm, which is quite possible.
Thirty years ago the Kawasaki Zephyr 400 had 46 BHP and could reach a speed of 110 mph in no time, but this bike?
What about engine specifications? You people should give proper detailed information about engine specifications too.🌹
Am I the only one who thinks it is just a remix of both Hunter 350 and Himalyan 450 ??
Okay but seriously, how's the pillion rider suppsoed to hold on to the bike? I dont see any rails? Obviosuly not the first bike to do this but surely there's gotta be a way out?
Bro try reducing display refresh rate of ur mobile from which u r shooting. U don't see such flicker on display..
Can I swap the Himalayan's handlebar with this lower one?
Probably vibrates just as much as a Himalayan, engine needs to be smoother.
Aage sw jhantu lag rha tank k baad Achha lag rha genuine review ,royal enfield please consider this review
Triumph 400 now has compitetion.
Please get this bike some road legal better sounding exhaust and a bigger fuel tank.... Please RE please....
The power will feel like RTR310. Though it has more PS than 310, it's 185Kgs!
What stopped RE from putting USD forks in this machine ?
They could have offered in top spec at least.
Are they needed or just fashion. Cuts costs and most people won't be pushing bike to feel much difference. Your usd forks start to leak you have instant problem
Bro u don't show tail lamp
I think Triumph 400 is better bike as compared to Guerrilla 450....Lets see how market goes
Can 5ft height ride this bike..
Seat height is good 👍
Milege?
Love the bikw hate the tank size. Should ve been at leat 12 litres. 11 is just to small with that power on tap.
They should have provided atleast 14-15 liters of fuel tank
Weight considerations probably. The bike needs to handle well with a full tank.
I hope they are tubeless tires
Where is tail lamp?
Clean and well built re is doing better products 👍
What about it's stand height?;🤷🏼♂🤷🏼♂
II think bike is really nice and royal enfield is doing a great job but i think the tank is a bit too small for a bike of this capacity. i think there will be a lot of fuel stops ...
I'll buy this colour
Nothing beats GT65O
You do realise this is a completely different bike?
I love gt650 but don't compare apple & orange
Abs should be switchable .
