Montesa has pulled the cover off its 2027 trial bike lineup. Three Spanish-made models—Cota 301RR, Cota 4RT 260R, and 4Ride—get fresh designs and new parts. All are built in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda and will go on sale in October 2026.

Montesa is making a statement for 2027. The company is launching three trial bikes that mix sharp new looks with serious performance. The Spanish brand is betting on bold colors and technical tweaks to keep its bikes at the front of the pack.

The Cota 301RR leads the lineup. It stands out in bright red and white. The bike keeps its 298 cc engine, straight from the Trial2 World Championship. It comes loaded with top-shelf parts: machined triple clamps, a carbon silencer, an aluminum frame, and high-end brakes. Every piece is built for riders who want a real edge in competition. Leading European motorcycle outlets confirm the 2027 Cota 301RR is still aimed at competition and keeps the same engine and premium parts as before.

The 2027 Montesa lineup will be officially unveiled to the public at the Viva Montesa exhibition in Terrassa on September 29, 2026, marking the brand's 80th anniversary.

Next is the Cota 4RT 260R. This model is for riders who want both sport and flexibility. It shares a lot with the 301RR—Showa front suspension, aluminum frame, and a high-performance silencer—but comes in classic red and black. The 4Ride rounds out the range. It's the most versatile, built for long trial rides. Its 4.3-liter fuel tank stands out, giving more range without losing technical ability. The 4Ride stays the same for 2027, both in looks and mechanics. Montesa is sticking with a proven formula. Independent sources confirm only the Cota models get new graphics and colors, while the 4Ride sees no changes this year.

All three bikes are built in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda. Montesa handles everything there, from engine assembly and plastic molding to making the aluminum frames. This local production shows the brand's focus on Spanish engineering and tight quality control. Reports from Autoappassionati and GPOne say the Santa Perpètua de Mogoda plant covers the full production cycle, including making aluminum and plastic parts.

The Viva Montesa exhibition, hosted at the Museu Nacional de la Ciència i la Tècnica de Catalunya, will showcase 80 years of Montesa history and highlight the brand's deep roots in Catalan industry. The event is expected to draw enthusiasts and industry figures from across Europe.

Montesa is also rolling out a full set of original accessories—rider mats, stands, seats, and covers. The company works with partners like Hebo for technical gear and Suprametal for decorative plates. Riders can personalize their bikes with special designs and logos. Industry sources confirm this accessory program and Montesa's ongoing partnerships for customization.

Prices are set: the Cota 4RT 260R starts at 8,200 euros, the 4Ride at 8,450 euros, and the Cota 301RR at 10,750 euros. Sales begin in October 2026. Montesa is aiming for a strong start to the new season.

This launch comes as Spanish brands keep pushing into the two-wheeled market. Other segments are seeing the same trend—like the arrival of the TVS Jupiter 125, as reported earlier—showing how much variety and ambition Spanish-based makers now bring.

Montesa's move to double down on both performance and style is clear. The brand wants to stay a top choice for trial fans who care about both how a bike rides and how it looks. By keeping production local and offering lots of ways to customize, Montesa sticks to its roots while meeting what riders want today. For anyone after a Spanish-built trial bike that stands out on the trail and in the paddock, the 2027 Montesa range sets a new standard.
