2012 TGB Gunner 550 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by TGB for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2012 TGB Gunner 550 pairs a 502.6 cc (30.7 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.9 HP (13.8 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 31.6 Nm (23.3 lb-ft) at 3,600 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 1,900 rpm working window between peak torque (3,600 rpm) and peak power (5,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Gunner 550 measures 330 kg (728 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.06 HP/kg (17.46 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 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
