This Blade cuts like a knife
In late 2021 we were introduced to a brand new market entrant from Export Trading Group Logistics (ETGL), distributors of the TGB range of quad bikes in Southern Africa. These chunky and stylish workhorse ATV's have garnered quite the following since their introduction into our local markets.

On the back of the success that these two models offered for work and recreational applications at very competitive prices, ETG has launched a bigger and better version in the form of the TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 quad bike.
Built for Africa
The TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 ATV is a sports-style ATV that offers many uses as a day-to-day work tool or purely for leisure and recreational use. The sports styling results in a streamlined body design with a narrow rider seating position.
The sporty styling is evident in the high-brightness LED front lights, seated in an aggressive front body panel and LED strip indicators, giving this nimble all-rounder a contemporary and edgy look. A clear give-away as to the recreational suitability of the TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 can be found in the comfortable rider and pillion seat, complete with backrest. Standard rear-view mirrors to assist with difficult reversing tasks and to keep an eye on the rear passenger, further reinforces this quad bike’s recreational credentials.
the TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 has several utility features to ensure the job gets done safely. A 1,360kg capacity winch mounted to the front of the ATV provides added peace of mind when in the most strenuous of conditions. The TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 also comes with a towing hitch as standard equipment and boasts a class-leading 830kg towing capacity with a braked trailer. The TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 is equipped with composite load-carrying racks with capacities of 30kg front and 50kg rear ensuring that you can travel to remote spots with camping equipment and/or tools.
Power to please
The TGB 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 is powered by a V-Twin, 997cc, 4-stroke engine with electronic fuel injection (EFI) that produces 62kW of power at 7,000 r/min and 90Nm of usable torque at 5,500 r/min. The modern EFI system ensures instant throttle response in the most demanding riding conditions and the engine’s durability is protected through liquid cooling, two separate radiators and an auxiliary fan. The radiator cover is easily accessible and can be removed for easy cleaning of mud and grasses. The durability of the engine is further enhanced using high-quality Japanese bearings on the conrod.
Drive to the wheels comes through a drive shaft connected to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) allowing for full rider control and safe handling in all conditions. The TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 offers selectable 2wd and 4wd traction while an electrically activated front differential lock provides additional surefootedness in tough conditions. Fitted with chunky Kenda all-terrain 6-ply tyres on sporty, 14-inch polished aluminium rims, this ATV not only looks the part but also makes light work of severe off-road conditions, given its 300mm of ground clearance. Ample suspension travel of 220mm in the front and 240mm in the rear ensures easy travelling off the beaten track.
The TGB Blade 1000 LTX EPS 4x4 offers a high level of standard equipment that includes sporty 14-inch, 6-spoke polished aluminium rims, all-terrain 6-ply tyres, hand guards, rear view mirrors, robust front protective frame/bumper and engine protector plate, modern composite luggage racks, comfortable rider and pillion seat with backrest, modern full-LED lighting, a 12-volt auxiliary power socket, towing hitch and a 1360kg capacity winch.
