More Powerful Cota 301RR Headlines 2020 Honda Montesa Trials Lineup

Three-model family includes designs, features developed by World Champion Toni Bou

Commemorating the recent 26th FIM World Championship of Repsol Honda's Toni Bou, American Honda today announced that the three-model Montesa Cota trials lineup – the approachable 4RT260, its more performance-oriented cousin the 4RT260 Race Replica, and the elite 301RR – will be available in the U.S. for the 2020 model year. Manufactured in Spain's Catalan region – also Bou's birthplace and arguably the world capital for trials – all three Montesa Cota models are ready to tackle the toughest sections across the country. The 301RR gets more power and a new look for 2020, while the two 260s receive updates styling, protection and more.

"There's only one Toni Bou, and for 2020 we're proud to offer American trials enthusiasts the three Montesa Cota models that have directly benefited from the champ's development input," said Chris Cox, American Honda's Manager of Experiential Marketing/Public Relations. "Whether it's to tackle the AMA NATC MotoTrials series or to spend weekends on technical trails with your friends, no lineup of trials machines is better equipped to get the job done."

MONTESA COTA 301RR

Trials isn't about who's fastest; it's about who's best – which is an apt description for the 2020 Honda Montesa Cota 301RR. This machine adopts most of its components and technical solutions from the machine Bou rode to his 2019 crowns. The competition-focused 301RR (previously called the 300RR) has a new, larger engine for 2020, making it the most powerful Cota ever mass-produced ever, and new bodywork and graphics give it a look worthy of its performance.

MONTESA COTA 4RT260 RACE REPLICA

Sharing the updated bodywork of the Cota 301RR but with Bou-worthy Repsol Edition graphics, the 4RT260 Race Replica is a nice balance between performance and practicality. Based on the standard 4RT260 but with upgraded suspension and tires, the Race Replica version is ready to clean the toughest sections.

MONTESA COTA 4RT260

The fruit of Montesa's legendary trials knowhow and Honda's renowned engine-development prowess, the Cota 4RT260 is a mainstay in the Honda Montesa trials lineup. For 2020, it gets new styling, an updated map, better engine and brake protection and more.
