Positioned in TGB's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2012 TGB Blade 550i LT 4x4 features a 503 cc (30.7 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.9 HP (13.8 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 31.5 Nm (23.2 lb-ft) at 3,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 37.6 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (3,200 rpm) and peak power (5,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Blade 550i LT 4x4 measures 364 kg (802 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.05 HP/kg (19.26 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.
