The GTS 300 Super FL is released in Australia this month and adopts the most advanced electronic rider support systems available to reaffirm its cutting-edge technology and make it one of the most advanced, refined and safest Vespas built to date.

The often asked question 'when will the most powerful Vespa come with ABS?' is answered with the new GTS 300 Super FL. The GTS 300 range has built a reputation as the go to model for Vespa performance. The new GTS 300 Super FL maintains the power factor and adds a new level of refinement with the addition of ABS plus ASR (traction control) together with the newly upgraded front suspension design, ESS (enhanced sliding suspension). The outcome is an amazingly balanced bike with excellent road holding and braking capabilities to compliment the models signature performance.

ABS 2 Channel Braking System: The ABS sensors communicate with a 2-channel hydraulic control unit which activates the ABS system. If one of the two wheels decelerates abruptly with respect to the vehicle, wheel lock is avoided while ensuring stability and efficient braking even on road surfaces with a low friction coefficient.

ASR Traction Control: The use of advanced monitoring systems also allows the vehicles electronics via the ECU to reduce slippage at the rear wheels on acceleration to retain control of the vehicle.

New Front ESS Suspension: Vespa GTS 300 Super FL range adopts a newly redesigned system capable of cutting sliding friction in half. The shock absorber is now fixed to the trailing arm with a hinged pin whereas it was previously bolted on rigidly. By increasing suspension slide, riding comfort is increased, as well as the ability to absorb bumps on the road giving the rider better control, ensuring a perfectly fluid, relaxing and safe ride.

With features sure to impress the most technically astute buyer, the 300 Super FL retains the magic that has made Vespa the undisputed ambassador for Italian design and style. Rider comfort is prioritised with a new seat design and stylish covering while the speedo receives an integrated digital and analogue display upgrade for more accurate information. Lighting visibility is improved with daytime LEDS located in new front indicators and a new rear taillight housed in an elegant chrome surround. Vespa is renowned for security and the GTS 300 Super FL retains the electronic key coded immobiliser designed to disable the vehicle electronics if tampered with. The addition of a USB por t in the front glove compartment is handy and the new GTS is now compatible with the innovative Vespa Multimedia Platform, an accessory which can be purchased allowing smart phones to be utilised as multifunction display tools.

Visually the GTS Super FL improvements include five-spoke wheel rims with gloss black finish in a polished outer rim and a more modern design f ront horn cover while the footboard central cover is now embossed with the Vespa logo. The visual flow of the modern and decisive line of the rear cowling, the round and sloping front headlight and fold-out passenger footrests are characteristics which remain intact on the new GTS Vespa range, making it unique as always.
