VespaGTS 300 Super Sport

Description

The GTS 300 SuperSport is an extraordinary urban vehicle and is characterised by it’s high torque level (22.3 Nm) reached at a lower engine speed (5,000 rpm versus 6,500) compared to the 250 cc engine capacity. Figures that on the road turn into tractability and pick-up from low speeds that are unrivalled in this engine class.

Vespa is the only scooter in the world with load bearing steel body – an exclusive design feature that has set Vespa apart from other two wheelers ever since the first model was brought out in 1946.
This design philosophy gives the Vespa superior rigidity (up to 250% more than a scooter with a tubular frame), resulting in incredible vehicle control and a legendary sturdiness.
Within the body of the Vespa GTS SuperSport, beneath the seat, is the fuel tank. In spite of its impressive tank holding more than 9 litres, offering outstanding range, the tank does not compromise under-seat storage space or access to the engine once the helmet compartment, which can hold two demi-jet helmets, has been lifted off (no tools required).
Together with the rigidity it’s body, the Vespa GTS SuperSport is fitted out with a chassis architecture distinguished by 12” wheels shod with a 120/70 tyre on the front and a 130/70 tyre on the back.
The front suspension uses the classic link arm layout, a traditional feature in Vespa history with excellent dynamic functional characteristics: this system separates load bearing and shock-absorbing functions, resulting in neutral braking and offering an anti-dive effect beyond the mid travel point of the shock absorber.
At the rear, two pre-load-adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers are fixed to the transmission crankcase and exhaust support.
