TGB ATV FACTS Safety through rider control has been the keynote in the design of the 4x 4 TGB 425 Blade 425 all terrain vehicle. Unlike many quads in the low to medium price sector the 425 Blade uses four-wheel disk brakes for more progressive speed reduction, aided by engine braking through a constantly-variable transmission. An automatic transmission as standard allows both the novice and experienced quad riders to focus more on the terrain than balancing engine revs and gear, and is a feature that is recognised by experienced off-roaders as being of value when descending slopes over slippery or loose surfaces. Again with an eye to operator safety, gear changes can only be made with the brake applied - and as well as the normal high and low ratios, the 425 Blade can be set up to run in two wheel only, four wheel, and in front differential locked modes. In line with a machine aimed at the serious commercial operator as well as enthusiastic recreational users, TGB has included a front brush guard and shielded footrests to keep the rider's feet clean and dry. There is even an engine hours meter to cater for varying maintenance regimes. Vehicle security has been a high priority too, with a steering lock, lockable storage compartments and fuel cap as standard. Options include high-capacity load racks, a ball hitch, skid plate sets, and a winch.
