Derived directly from the Impala, Montesa’s flagship model, the Texas is an off-road version of the grand tourer. Produced from 1966 to 1971 under the reference 12M, it differs from its road-going sibling with a raised front fork, a raised aluminium mudguard, a specific high-mounted exhaust, and knobby tyres suited to off-road terrain. Its engine is deliberately underpowered compared to the road model, to prioritise low-end torque and offer greater flexibility in challenging off-road situations. The gear ratios are also shortened in the same vein.
A notable detail is that many parts of the frame, along with the footrest, headlight and front mudguard mounts, are perforated to lighten the machine – a level of attention to detail rarely seen from manufacturers on a model of this category at the time.
Total production never reached 200 units (186 units), making it an extremely rare model today and highly sought-after amongst collectors of vintage Spanish motorcycles. Upon its discontinuation, it was replaced by the Montesa King Scorpion 250.
