2022 Honda Montesa Cota 4RT260R: COMPETITION READY.
Introducing the 2022 Honda Montesa Cota 4RT260R…
The latest evolution of Montesa’s versatile 259 cc platform, this model acquires the “R” suffix for 2022, indicating it to be more competition-ready than its predecessor. Upgrades include the switch to Showa suspension components, as well as the larger aluminum muffler from the 301 platform, which delivers increased horsepower across the rev range. The 4RT260R also gets new graphics and a striking black color.
With considerable input from perennial FIM Trial World Champion Toni Bou, Honda subsidiary Montesa continues to develop the most advanced trials machines on the planet. Designed, developed and produced in the company’s Spanish factory – located in the trials hotbed of Barcelona, and with a heritage that extends back even longer than that of Honda – the 4RT260R and 4RT301RR Race Replica are elite machines capable of tackling the most impossible sections imaginable.

- Power is biased to the low end and midrange for the smooth, tractable delivery that is vital for maintaining traction in technical conditions, even with the sudden bursts of acceleration common in trials riding.
- The three-ring piston and specially designed crankshaft reduce vibration.
- Programmed electronic fuel injection for smooth running in varying conditions.
- Large, lightweight aluminum muffler, for maximum torque across the rev range.
- The light-but-tough carbon-fiber guard protects the clutch, on the engine’s right side.
- The decompression system features a large, 2.3 mm crankcase breather tube for reduced engine braking, helping to maintain traction during deceleration.
CHASSIS / SUSPENSION
- Lightweight 39 mm Showa fork has adjustable compression and rebound damping, as well as adjustable preload. Travel is 6.2 inches.
