2015 Honda Montesa Cota 4RT260 Key Features:

Championship Heritage. Honda Performance

Cota 4RT260: Maintaining the light feel characteristic of the Cota 4RT260 model, the suspension has been improved to provide the rider with a higher degree of control and comfort. To achieve this, the front forks have been fitted with more progressive springs whilst the rear suspension has been adjusted to increase the sensitivity of the hydraulic cylinders allowing a more precise regulation. Furthermore, the adjustment of the valve hydraulics, which can be regulated both in rebound and compression, has been replaced by a manual adjustment eliminating the need for an extra tool. The handlebar has a new style, with a new more open design that relieves pressure from the rider's arms. The brake master cylinders have been remodeled internally for a more stable performance as well as consistent response at all times. The final transmission ratio has a new 41 rear sprocket which eliminates the need to substitute this component or the chain drive when the motorcycle is set to full power. Even though it maintains its basic Montesa Honda red colour, the model has new decorations and decals. An example of this is the upper and bottom bridge, now in black. The front mudguard has a new angular design that gives the motorcycle's overall image a sportier and slimmer look. The shift pedal also has a new slimmer and elegant design. The new Cota 4RT260 model also comes with a supplementary seat for soft trial or trip trial. The seat is easy to remove and includes a space to store various objects. This new element gives the motorcycle more versatility, expanding the possibilities of its use.

Quotes

“The 4RT 260 features the same aluminum frame and engine as the Race Replica version, but comes with a different suspension package. Out front a 39mm TECH fork soaks up bumps while a Pro-Link R16V shock is equipped out back. Suspension travel is rated the same as the Race Replica though, at 6.9-inches (front) and 6.7-inches (rear).The primary difference with the 260 is the inclusion of a larger seat than the Race Replica, allowing riders to sit more comfortably while waiting for the next obstacle if needed. The seat can be removed or swapped out for more aggressive competition.” ----- Motorcycle USA“The Montesa Honda Cota 4RT has always been recognized for its exclusive technological features, as well as for being a model of superior quality and proven reliability.
