At the heart of the 2011 TGB Blade 550 LT atv motorcycle, TGB features a 503 cc (30.7 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 41 HP (29.9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 81.5 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Blade 550 LT measures 364 kg (802 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.88 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 920 mm (36.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
