WINNING COMBINATION
Trials riding is about perfection, a flawless performance under demanding terrain conditions. And the combination of Honda power and Montesa’s legendary chassis and trials heritage makes the 2020 Honda Montesa Cota 4RT260 about as close to mechanical perfection in a trials bike as you’re ever likely to see. Here are the basics: we started with a 259cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder Honda engine, specially built and tuned for the Cota. Then we’ve added state-of-the-art suspension. Improvements this year include a new rear fender, a more compact speedometer, a new fuel tank and cap, and more. Put it all in a light, narrow, responsive package, and you’ll see the Cota 4RT260 gives you the advantage you need to take your trials game to the next level. And if you’re looking for something even more exclusive, make sure you check out our Cota 4RT Race Replica.

Engineering
- CHASSIS: The Montesa Cota 4RT Race Replica uses an aluminum chassis with a gorgeous finish, showcasing classic lines and the impeccable manufacturing quality. The muffler uses reinforced mounts, and the rear-brake pedal is short to avoid impacts and allow the rider more freedom of movement.
Handling
- PREMIUM SUSPENSION: The Montesa Cota 4RT Race Replica offers an adjustable 39mm TECH fork and R16V shock acting in conjunction with the Pro-Link® rear suspension.
- BRAKES AND WHEELS: The Montesa Cota 4RT Race Replica 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 tubeless tires.
Performance
- PGM-FI ENGINE: The Honda Montesa Cota 4RT Race Replica 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 tuned 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 Race Replica 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 4RTs feature 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.
