Built around Goes's atv motorcycle platform, the 2022 Goes Cobalt 550 Max Limited pairs a 495 cc (30.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 33.5 HP (24.5 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 38 Nm (28 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 2-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 67.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (6,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Cobalt 550 Max Limited measures 356 kg (785 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 955 mm (37.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
