Classic Meets Modern Design

High-tech finishes in warm grey and fluorescent green catch the eye, while elements such as the seat in high-quality materials with contrast stitching, the underseat compartment with LED lighting and the appealing design of the many other details are just some of the reasons that Vespa scooters continue to remain a one-of-a-kind species.

Advanced Features

The new Vespa GTS Super Tech represents the top of the Vespa GTS range, the maximum expression of sport and technology. GTS SuperTech is the first large-bodied Vespa to adopt a fully digital instrument cluster thanks to a 4.3″ full color TFT display. The instrument cluster, as well as displaying all the classic information such as speed, total and partial mileage, ambient temperature, and fuel level, also serves as the display for the VESPA MIA smartphone connectivity system.

The Vespa MIA package comes as standard on this model, allowing you to connect your smartphone and bike and to unlock functions that make every trip even more enjoyable.  It also includes a GPS navigator*. All this comes on top of the 300cc HPE, one of the best-performing engines ever mounted on a Vespa.

MIA Eco Ride & Help Call

Once you’ve connected the Vespa MIA system, there’s another treat in store with MIA Eco Ride, an exciting brand-new function. Simply activate the navigator, select your preferred CO2 emissions level and the system will come up with a route designed to optimise fuel consumption. That’s not all, however. The MIA app collates ABS and incline sensor data, enabling you to send an automatic SOS message with your location coordinates should you have an accident or find yourself in trouble.**

Enjoy the Connection

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.

DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

The Vespa GTS Super Tech’s personality sparkles even more in its new materials that lend an elegant, sophisticated look. The mirrors, side grills, mudguard crest and even the distinctive “tie” have all been redesigned in the name of innovation, while retaining the timeless Vespa charm and spirit.

SAFETY

The new design of the Vespa GTS Super Tech 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 Super Tech 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 Super Tech 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 Super Tech 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.
