Here is the post that was on Instagram yesterday. Can’t make much out except looks like a Beta-style rear mudguard. I hope they’ve sorted the side-stand on the standard 4RT!!!

    The 301 RR I have been told on good authority that it is a new bike.    It will be close to that of what grattarolla, marcelli, Moret and the boys from Trial 2 ride.    It is also

At least it looks red. When I saw “301” I had a near double take and thought of the 310 which had, possibly, the worst colour combo of any Montesa ever. That turquoise and dayglo combo - like you’d take a trials bike to a rave...

The crank and Conrad are pretty much CRF stuff, can't see them changing that either, perhaps the clutch could lose a little weight, but there isn't a chance Honda will compromise the build quality and risk loads of warranty issues... Not good for business!! 

 I can't imagine them throwing a lot of titanium at it either, as that doesn't tend to last too well on trials bikes.

If you want a bike that you know won't let you down buy a mont, if you can't ride a 4 stroke or find them heavy, buy something else.

I read speculation that the 301 could be inheriting some of the mod's from the works bikes of Grattarola and co’

Anyone got any real insight (not speculation) into what Montesa/HRC have done with these 300RRs?? I appreciate they are not works bikes as such but they do have indirect factory support

Visually, looks like just ''Bold new graphics''. Waiting to see if they bumped Displacement by 10cc. It does look sharp.

Looks nice indeed. Does anyone know if the standard 4RT is up for any evolution for 2020?

Spoke to importer looks like a 2020 model 260 coming out next month could just be cosmetic updates but if it ain't broke why fix it I say 

 

And the price for the 301 is???

I’ve heard £8k but not sure if official price released
