The Repsol Honda factory team and rider Toni Bou (32, Spain) have won the 2018 FIM Trial World Championship – the 12th consecutive time Bou has won the championship, clinching his first on HRC’s Montesa COTA 4RT factory bike in 2007. Bou has also won his 12th consecutive X Trial World Championship, an indoor competition raced on artificially prepared trials tests.
Overcoming injuries in the pre-season X Trial World Championship, Bou started off the season by winning the Trial GP in Spain, then after finishing 4th and 2nd in Japan, he won the next four rounds. Round 4, Portugal, was his 100th Trial World Championship victory.
The Montesa COTA 4RT is a liquid-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder in an aluminium twin-tube frame with 21” front and 18” rear wheels.
