Montesa Honda has unveiled the new Cota 4RT moto trials machine, which will be available in two versions: the 4RT260 and the 4RT260 Factory.
The Cota 4RT260 has been developed in collaboration with the Repsol Montesa Team. For more competition focussed riders, the 'Factory' offers high-specification Showa suspension and a host of other upgrades. It also carries the Repsol Montesa Honda team image and graphics – an outfit that has enjoyed unrivalled domination in world trials in recent years, taking the last 15 world titles (indoor and outdoor) with rider Toni Bou.
The new model has an increase in displacement to 260cc, which results in improved performance, more usable rpm range and stronger torque in the mid range. In addition, engine braking has been reduced significantly, offering enhanced rider feel and control.
Founded in 1945, Montesa then began a relationship with Honda in 1983. Both new-for-2014 models will be manufactured in Montesa Honda’s manufacturing facility in Barcelona.
No announcement yet if the bikes will go on sale in Australia.
