Overview

Vespa GTS 300 IE Super ABS

Born in 2003 with the arrival of the Vespa GT 125 and 200, the family of the big Vespa subsequently evolved, starting from 2005, with the arrival of the GTS version and displacements up to 300 cc.

Big, comfortable, accommodating and amazingly protective, the Vespa GTS combines its elegantly urban and city soul with the vocation to travel and tourism that the big Vespas have always embodied. From the GS of 1955 to the PX 200 of 1978, not forgetting the Vespa Rally of 1968, the biggest Vespas have always combined great performance and comfort, even on longer and more challenging journeys. Now the Vespa GTS reiterates its state-of-the-art technology with the adoption of the most advanced and technological electronic riding aid systems. With this, Vespa confirms its cutting-edge technology which has always marked its history and makes it one of the most modern, advanced and safe vehicles on the road today. The most sporting Vespa range ever evolves and hits new standards of safety, technology, comfort and painstaking attention to detail. The Vespa large body version, timeless two-wheeler icon, long ago elected as ambassador of Italian design worldwide, now has a new and larger helmet compartment, a more comfortable saddle and latest generation instrumentation.

Now available on the Vespa GTS is the sophisticated Multimedia Platform that allows smartphone connection to the on-board electronic system to transform it into a multi-function tool, a full-fledged complex computer able to simultaneously display information such as tachometer, rev meter, and also instantaneous engine power and torque, longitudinal acceleration, instant and average fuel consumption, average speed and battery voltage and much more. The smartphone connected to the Vespa Multimedia Platform also makes it possible to display maps and routes as well as identify petrol stations and Service Stations. The tire status control function (only available for the ABS/ASR versions) synergically exploits the vehicle’s sensors and the smartphone to monitor wear and inflation of the tires, warning the user immediately before any potentially critical situations can arise; while the general analysis function allows overall vehicle condition check.
