According with Schaller (1967), the average weight of 5 male gaurs hunted in the wild, were of 819.7 kg (1807.4 lb) and had a range from 588.2 kg (1297 lb) to 939.2 kg (2071 lb); this last one is the heaviest in official record (weighed, not estimated). Two females weighed 701.1 kg (1546 lb) and 439.5 kg (969 lb) respectively.

Latter, Owen-Smith (1992) clearly state that ANY weight over 1000 kg in the bovid family is clearly exceptional but no impossible, and cites that the maximum weight for the male gaur is of 940 kg (2072.7 lb).

Finally, there is a record of a huge male of 2.2 m (7.2 ft) to the shoulders and a weight of 1225 kg (2701.1 lb).
