Description
1972 – Montesa Cota 49 Frame no. 20M1313 Engine no. 20M1085 No roadworthiness certificate No MOT Born out of Montesa’s desire to make the sport more accessible, the Cota 49 is a 49 cm³ trial bike designed for young riders and beginners – a pioneering idea for its time, which demonstrates the Barcelona-based brand’s long-term vision. Despite its unassuming appearance, it embodies expertise directly inherited from the great competition Cota models, with which it shares the core of its mechanical philosophy. 1976 was a significant year for Montesa. The brand was then at the height of its international reputation, buoyed by its racing successes and the prestige of its riders. The Cota 49 from this period benefited from this favourable climate; it was a well-crafted machine, built with great care in the workshops in Barcelona. Today, the smaller Cota models of this generation have become particularly hard to find. Less well-preserved than their larger counterparts, and often mistreated by young riders, they have largely disappeared. A 1976 model in decent condition is therefore an absolute rarity, both for collectors and for enthusiasts of Spanish trial history.
