Comparison Specifications: Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 vs Triumph Speed 400 vs Harley-Davidson X440 vs Hero Mavrick 440

The recently launched Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 in India rivals the Triumph Speed 400, Harley-Davidson X440, and Hero Mavrick 440. These models are the first competitors in the popular group's 400-500 cc retro-style roadster class.

Let’s examine their specifications to assess their comparative power and value propositions:

Engine

Now, let's examine the engine specifications of each of these roadsters:

Bikes	Engine CC	Max Power	Peak Torque	Gear Box
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450	452 cc	40 bhp @ 8000 rpm	40 Nm @ 5500 rpm	6-Speed
Triumph Speed 400	398.15CC	40 PS / 39.5 bhp (29.4 kW) @ 8,000 rpm	37.5 Nm @ 6,500 rpm	6-Speed
Harley-Davidson X440	440 CC	27 bhp @ 6,000 rpm	38 Nm @ 4,000 rpm	6-Speed
Hero Mavrick 440	440 CC	20.13 kW/27 bhp @ 6000 rpm	36 Nm @ 4000 rpm	6-Speed

Of these four roadsters, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has the most effective engine. Nevertheless, its power is on par with the Triumph Speed. On the other hand, both the Harley-Davidson X440 and the Hero Mavrick have simple engine designs that produce less power and torque figures comparable to the other two roadsters.

Chassis & Underpinnings

All of the roadsters included in this comparison feature a tubular steel chassis, with the exception of the Mavrick, which uses a trellis frame.

Bikes	Chassis	Front Suspension	Rear Suspension	Front Tyre Size	Rear Tyre Size	Front Brake	Rear Brake
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450	Tubular steel	Telescopic Forks,43mm	Linkage Type Monoshock	120/70 R17	160/60 R17	Hydraulic Disc Brake	Hydraulic Disc Brake

Hero Mavrick 440	Trellis frame	Telescopic Front Fork	7-step adjustable twin shock	110/70-17	150/60-17	Disc	Disc

Both the Guerrilla and Mavrick have traditional forks, and the Guerrilla 450 boasts longer front wheel travel than the Mavrick but is similar to the Triumph Speed. Both the Speed 400 and X440 have upside-down forks, all adding to their premium feel. Roadsters come with rear suspension preload adjustment, although the X440 and Mavrick use a two-stroke setup.

All of the bikes have 17-inch wheels, with the exception of the X440, which has an 18-inch front wheel. The Guerrilla boasts the four bikes' widest tyres, which could make it stiffer, although a real-world comparison would provide some insight.

When comparing braking systems, both the X440 and Mavrick have large front discs of 320mm, which are more practical than the others. Meanwhile, which is bigger than the other two. All these bikes have dual-channel ABS.

Dimensions

Here is a comparison of the dimensions of the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 with its rivals in this lineup:

Bikes	Wheelbase	Seat Height	Ground Clearance	Fuel Tank Capacity
Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450	1440 mm	780 mm	169 mm	11-Liters
Triumph Speed 400	1377 mm	790 mm	-	13-Liters
Harley-Davidson X440	1418 mm	805 mm	170 mm	13-Liters
Hero Mavrick 440	-	-	175 mm	13-Liters

The Guerrilla 450 has the longest wheelbase on this bike, giving it a strong, straight stretch. Combined with the wider wheelbase, this feature helps the rider feel more grounded. Plus, it offers a much lower seat height, making it more accessible for shorter riders. Although Triumph did not specify how low the Speed 400 could be, the Hero Mavrick leads the way with 440 ground clearance. Moreover, this allows it to handle bumps better compared to other models.

The X440, Speed 400 and Mavrick have the largest fuel tanks in the group. With a claimed range of 35 km, the X440 is expected to offer the longest range. While Hero has yet to reveal the Mavrick's claimed mileage, it is probably comparable or close to the X440.

Features

In this comparison, the new Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 stands out as the most featured bike. Its mid-top variant features a 5-inch round TFT display along with smartphone connectivity, call and music control and integrated Google Maps.

Both the X440 and Mavrick have sequential navigation, while the Speed 400 doesn't have full navigation as an option. However, the Speed 400 is the only bike with adjustable traction control. In contrast, the Guerrilla 450 offers two ride modes: Power and Eco. All the bikes in this comparison come equipped with full LED lighting.

Verdict

On paper, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450's price range makes it the best value offering. This is due to its performance and features compared to the other three bikes, the Harley-Davidson X440 and Hero Mavrick 440, which take the more delicate opposite approach. The Triumph Speed 400, like its larger modern roadster counterparts, serves as the entry point for the British brand, the role of the X440 for the American brand.
