2017
The 2017 Honda Montesa Cota 4 Ride is a trials motorcycle designed for navigating challenging terrain. Continuing the legacy of the Montesa Cota line, known for its trials prowess, the 4 Ride offers a more accessible and versatile experience compared to dedicated competition models. It faces direct competition from bikes like the GasGas TXT Pro and the Sherco Trial models, all vying for the attention of riders seeking a capable off-road machine.
Powering the Montesa Cota 4 Ride is a 258.9 ccm (15.80 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This displacement offers a good balance of manageable power and sufficient torque for tackling obstacles. The motorcycle's light weight, at just 81.0 kg (178.6 pounds), further contributes to its agility and responsiveness. Fuel capacity is 4.40 litres (1.16 US gallons), allowing for extended riding sessions before needing to refuel.
The Cota 4 Ride prioritizes control and maneuverability above all else. The high seat height of 885 mm (34.8 inches) - at its lowest setting if adjustable - gives the rider a commanding view and allows for easier weight transfer. The trials-focused design means that the motorcycle is very nimble and is made for riding in a standing position. The suspension is designed to soak up bumps and provide excellent traction on uneven surfaces.
The Honda Montesa Cota 4 Ride 2017 is tailored for riders who want to explore off-road trails and hone their technical riding skills. It's a great option for those new to trials riding or experienced riders looking for a more user-friendly and less demanding machine than a full-blown competition bike. The Cota 4 Ride allows riders to enjoy the challenge of trials riding without the extreme intensity and high maintenance demands of a pure competition machine.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Exceptional low-speed control and maneuverability, crucial for navigating technical trials sections with precision. • Lightweight design enhances agility and responsiveness, allowing for quick changes in direction and effortless handling. • The refined 259cc engine provides smooth, tractable power delivery, ideal for controlled climbs and delicate throttle inputs. • Hydraulic clutch offers consistent feel and modulation, enabling precise clutch control for challenging obstacles. • High-quality suspension components effectively absorb impacts and maintain traction on uneven terrain, boosting rider confidence. • Reliable Honda engine and robust construction contribute to overall durability, minimizing maintenance requirements in demanding conditions.⚠️ Things to consider
• Limited top speed and long-distance comfort, making it unsuitable for road riding or transportation between trials locations. • Specialized trials tires offer excellent grip on specific surfaces but wear quickly on abrasive terrain or pavement. • Minimal rider protection from mud and debris, requiring appropriate gear for comfortable riding in wet or muddy conditions. • Fuel tank capacity is small, necessitating frequent refueling during extended trials sessions or practice rides. • The seat is minimal, designed for stand-up riding, making seated riding uncomfortable for extended periods.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
