Details that make the difference

Safety

The new design of the Vespa GTS increases handling and safety through features such as improved suspension, ASR traction control, ABS and 12-inch wheels fitted with front and rear disc brakes. This winning combination ensures a comfortable, stable ride, even at higher speeds or on uneven surfaces.

New Front Suspension System
The technical equipment of the Vespa GTS adopts a new suspension which, while maintaining the classical single arm with pin pulled, in the Vespa tradition, has been totally redesigned in order to reduce frictions during run, offering comfortable and stable riding experience even on the bumpy road and at high speed.

Rear Suspension System
The technical layout with dual hydraulic shock absorbers, with coil spring and preload with 4 position height adjustment, is confirmed.

ABS
Piaggio was the first worldwide company to introduce advanced active safety systems such as ABS & ASR on a scooter, now available on the GTS range. ABS. Each wheel is equipped with a detection system (a sensor and a phonic wheel) that instantly measure speed and deceleration. The sensors communicate with a hydraulic control unit with two channels that activates the ABS system if one of the wheels decelerates quickly relative to the vehicle, avoiding locking and ensuring stability and efficient braking.

ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) uses the ABS electronics and sensors to compare the wheel speed rotation of the two wheels. When the sensors detect the rear wheel speed exceeds that of the front, the control unit intervenes cutting the engine toque by spark advance reduction and, if necessary, also on the injection system to prevent slippage and prevent loss of vehicle control . These solutions put Vespa on the top level regarding safety and technology.

Full LED

With new full LED lights, the Vespa GTS is more appealing than ever. There’s also a new LED rear light that is combined with the running lights to showcase the scooter’s distinctive design and increase its visibility out on the road.

Technology and control

Keyless ignition, remote seat opening, a practical USB port and Bike Finder for easy location in crowded parking areas are just some of the features that make the Vespa GTS exceptionally user-friendly. But wait, there’s more. Its 300cc HPE is one of the best-performing engines ever installed on a Vespa, delivering improved performance, reduced fuel consumption and less noise.

Meticulous work has gone into perfecting the handlebar dimensions, grip and the position of the various buttons. Right from the moment you turn it on, you’ll feel the improved fluidity and responsiveness, in part due to the keyless system that replaces the classic ignition. And, with the new 3-inch analogue LCD display, you have simplified access to all essential data.

Keyless System
It allows the rider to keep the key fob pocketed when unlocking, locking and starting the vehicle. Once connected, the welcome logo lights up on the dashboard to signal electronic key recognition by the ECU.

Bike Finder
Dedicated buttons on the electronic key, open the under seat and make remote use of the Bike Finder function. This function ensures the vehicle is recognizable even at a distance, activating both the turn indicators.
