Riding position 56 mm lower
The aluminum handlebars change your torso angle and how much weight is placed on the front wheel. Your hands are further out and lower, with your body leaning more forward. You can attack corners with more confidence, and the front wheel provides clearer feedback. On long straights, it is less comfortable than the upright position of the base model.
Road tires instead of all-terrain
Vredestein Centauro ST+ are road-oriented tires. The standard Guerrilla rides on CEAT Gripp XL RE tires with a dual-purpose tread pattern designed for unpaved surfaces as well. The Apex abandons this ambition, trading it for grip on asphalt, both in the dry and the wet. The dimensions remain 120/70R17 at the front and 160/60R17 at the rear.
Apex Red and Apex Black
Apex Red is a single-tone colorway, while Apex Black combines black with gray. Both feature a color-matched headlight cowl and a rear seat cowl that can be removed with an Allen key, revealing a full-sized seat for a passenger. The other eight color options for the Guerrilla 450 are not available for the Apex.
What remains the same
The engine, frame, suspension, and brakes are identical to the Guerrilla 450. The 452 cc Sherpa single-cylinder engine produces 29.44 kW at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm at 5,500 rpm, with a top speed of 155 km/h. The power remains under the 35 kW limit, and the power-to-weight ratio of approximately 0.16 kW/kg is well below the 0.2 kW/kg threshold, meaning the Apex qualifies for an A2 license without the need for a power restrictor. Every new motorcycle comes with a three-year factory warranty and three years of European roadside assistance.
