SHARPER THAN EVER
If you know anything about trials riding, you know that it’s all about getting the smallest details perfect. And that’s why our Montesa Cota 4RT 260R is an excellent choice, especially since it has some significant updates for 2022. It all starts with a 259cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder Honda engine, specially built and tuned for the Cota. This year the bike also gets a new Showa® Pro-Link rear suspension to match the Showa fork, the aluminum muffler from our premium 301RR model, and a five-percent increase in low- and midrange torque delivery. Want to step up to the very top rung of the trials ladder? Then check out our Montesa Cota 4RT 260R.

Engineering
- CHASSIS: The Montesa Cota 4RT 260R uses an aluminum chassis with a gorgeous finish, showcasing classic lines and the impeccable manufacturing quality. The rear-brake pedal is short to avoid impacts and allow the rider more freedom of movement.
Handling
- PREMIUM SUSPENSION: The Montesa Cota 4RT 260R offers an adjustable 39mm Showa® fork and Showa shock acting in conjunction with the Pro-Link® rear suspension.
- BRAKES AND WHEELS: The Montesa Cota 4RT 260R is equipped with a 4-piston monoblock front-brake caliper and uses 32-spoke wheels. The rear wheel features an innovative system incorporating central-adjustment spokes for a significant weight reduction, and which also allows the Cota to fit a tubeless rear tire.
Performance
- PGM-FI ENGINE: The Honda Montesa Cota 4RT 260R features fuel-injected power that’s easy to modulate, for the surgical power delivery so critical to trials riding. The 259cc four-stroke engine is specifically turned for low-rpm response and extraordinarily flexible, with plenty of power and torque all the way through the rev range. A high-pressure fuel pump helps give the engine a strong power curve.
- KICKSTART LEVER: The Cota 4RT 260R features a long kickstart lever, helping ensure easy one-kick starts no matter where you are on the course.
Technology
- DUAL-MAP ECU: Does your course feature sections with poor traction, followed by sections with better grip? No problem—the 4RT 260R features a handlebar-mounted mode switch that lets you choose between two maps/modes to change engine power delivery.
- ADVANCED ENGINEERING: The Cota’s Honda engine uses a battery-less digital ignition system, and includes a bank-angle sensor to switch off the ignition when the motorcycle is lying on the ground.
