Royal Enfield has unveiled the FT450 at Motoverse 2024. The motorcycle is based on the Guerilla 450 and is designed for flat-track racing.



The Royal Enfield FT450 features custom bodywork with a single seat and a short tail section. The bike has a telescopic front fork with U-shaped handlebars and an upswept exhaust.

The FT450 is powered by the same 452cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, as on the Guerilla 450. It produces 40 BHP and 40 Nm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

The FT450 rides on 17-inch wire-spoke wheels shod with dual-purpose tyres. Being a flat tracker, it has an unconventionally large rear disc brake but no front brake. It is also equipped with a custom exhaust and a Powertronic Fuel X Autotune fuel injection optimizer.

It's good to see an OEM like Royal Enfield endorsing aftermarket performance parts like,

• Powertronic Fuel X Autotune fuel injection optimizer
• AEW custom exhaust
• Reisemoto dual-purpose tyres

It gives users some confidence for the products and also to remind them of the competition/track usage!

Happy riding,

Is this bike road legal ?

No, there's no lights, mirrors and most importantly, no front brakes.

Royal Enfield has been active in the Flat Track Racing scene for a while now.

No. It's a custom built racer and made for flat tracking. Flat tracking is a very peculiar racing scene with no front brakes and somewhat similar to speedway racing in riding style.

I had the opportunity to see the bike in action yesterday with some international riders having a go on it at Moto Verse.
Later I also sat down at Moto Reels where they had all these riders speaking to those gathered on what they are doing.
