Technical Overview
2020 Goes Cobalt Max Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Goes for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2020 Goes Cobalt Max pairs a 493 cc (30.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 36.2 HP (26.4 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 39 Nm (28.8 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 73.4 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 Max measures 344 kg (758 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.5 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 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
