Royal Enfield continues its tradition of creating unique, limited-run vehicles, recently unveiling a flat tracker based on the Guerilla 450. These specialized machines often serve as platforms for testing future technologies and designs.
The FT450 flat tracker was specifically developed for Royal Enfield’s 2025 slide school program, a collaborative project with Dirt Craft and flat track racer Gary Birtwistle. It is powered by a liquid-cooled 450cc Sherpa engine, also found in the Guerilla 450. The bike’s design prioritizes agility, incorporating a stripped-down chassis, flat track bodywork, 19-inch rims with custom hubs, and updated ergonomics.
Key modifications include a new full-system exhaust and a Fuel X tuning module, expected to enhance the bike’s performance to approximately 40 bhp and 29.5 lb-ft of torque, although the exact figures are yet to be confirmed. While the FT450 itself will not be available for purchase, Royal Enfield is offering a flat tracker-themed GMA accessory pack for the street-legal Guerilla 450, available at 697 pounds, featuring a bench seat, sump guards, radiator guards, and bar-end mirrors.
In addition to the flat tracker, Royal Enfield has hinted at a new Twin Cylinder Himalayan model, expected to be powered by a 648cc air/oil-cooled engine, similar to the Interceptor. The Himalayan prototype was spotted undergoing testing in the Himalayas alongside an EV model, indicating a production-ready design.
