2007 Montesa Cota 4RT

History
This marks the third year for the 4RT, first introduced in 2005. Well tested and developed with using former World Trials Championship rider Amos Bilbao, the 4RT maintains the high quality standards set by its predecessor, the 2-stroke powered 315R.

Notable among the accomplishments evident in the 4RT include the first use of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) on a trials motorcycle, a weight comparable to its 2-stroke powered predecessor, as well as slimmer bodywork, and a Honda CRF-250R-based motor, jointly designed with Honda, and made smaller and lighter, with power optimized for trials usage.

Since its release, the bike has featured only incremental changes. Perhaps the most important of note were changes last year to smooth out the clutch actuation. That's pretty much it. The years of development have paid off in producing a reliable, well-performing mount.

So, it should come as no surprise that the 2007 machine has only slight modifications:

• Redesigned Camshaft for easier Starting.
• All new rear exhaust to reduce sound levels but still acheive same power
• New exhaust Silencer Protector
• New electronic meter panel
• New Renthal handlebar
• New front disc cover protector
• New graphics
