Built around Honda's trial motorcycle platform, the 2018 Honda Montesa 4 Ride features a 258.9 cc (15.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Montesa 4 Ride measures 81 kg (179 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 885 mm (34.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,333 mm (52.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.4-liter (1.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
