Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 vs Triumph Tracker 400 Performance Compared

The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and the Triumph Tracker 400 are closely matched on paper; both roadsters producing 40hp, near-identical kerb weights and a price gap separated by barely Rs 10,000. However, both are very different to ride in the real world as our VBox-verified numbers will reveal.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 vs Triumph Tracker 400: Acceleration  

Despite weighing more, the Guerrilla asserts lead at every benchmark

Even though the Guerrilla (185kg) carries a slight 4kg more compared to the Tracker (181kg), it dominates in every measurable metric. It clocks 0-60kph in 2.85 seconds, two-tenths of a second ahead of the Tracker’s 3.05 seconds. As the speed climbs, this gap widens significantly close to half a second at the 0-80kph mark and to 1.3 seconds at 0-100kph. Here the additional displacement and wider torque curve gives the Guerrilla a clear advantage. At the same time the Tracker falls short because of its downsized 349cc engine, which only really comes alive after 6,000rpm, and below that, the power delivery is quite mellow.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 vs Triumph Tracker 400: Roll-on acceleration  

Higher torque figure at lower rpm widens the gap significantly

30-70kph (3rd gear)

While acceleration from standstill indicates the level of outright performance on offer, the roll-on acceleration reveals the real-world usability. Again, it is the Guerrilla which has the undisputed advantage over the Tracker, thanks to its far punchier low- and mid-range torque delivery. The 40Nm of torque helped the Guerrilla outperform the Tracker (32Nm of torque) in every situation.

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 vs Triumph Tracker 400: Braking  

Bigger disc and stickier tyres became the decider

60-0kph

15.73m

16.75m


To begin with, both bikes have very good braking hardware, but in our instrumented tests, it was the Guerrilla that came to a complete halt from 60kph earlier. The radially mounted four-piston caliper on the Tracker gave more feedback and confidence compared to the Guerrilla. However, the 310mm front disc and road-biased tyres gave the Guerrilla the upper hand in getting a shorter stopping distance compared to the Tracker (300mm front disc).

Not too long after all-new Maruti Suzuki Dzire was first spied in India, the upcoming compact sedan has been spotted again. This time, the Dzire is winter testing in Himachal Pradesh, and the spy shots reveal that it’ll sport a segment-first at launch – a sunroof. New Maruti Dzire likely to be the most feature-rich compact sedan It’ll share most of its mechanicals with the Swift hatchback Dzire CNG is expected to arrive soon after the standard model 2024 Maruti Dzire interior highlights, features, exterior Until now, we expected the Dzire compact sedan have more or less the same features set as the new and upcoming Swift . The addition of the sunroof will definitely set the Maruti apart in the segment, though whether the new Swift will also receive it is yet unknown. In international right-hand-drive markets, such as the UK and Japan, the new-gen Swift does not get a sunroof. In top-spec form, the Dzire is likely to be the best equipped model in its class thanks to the sunroof...

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

-
Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
