The 2018 Vespa GTS Super 300 is now in Malaysia at a
price of RM 27,072, including GST but excluding road tax, insurance and
registration. The GTS Super 300
epitomises Vespa’s classic design style, a blend of sports and performance on
city streets.
Carrying Vespa’s fuel-injected, single-cylinder,
liquid-cooled, four-valve Quasar engine, the Super 300 is claimed to put out
21.2 hp at 7,750 rpm and 22 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. The GTS transmits power
through a CVT gearbox with torque servo and a centrifugal dry clutch, in
typical scooter fashion.
Suspension at the front is a single-arm unit with
coil spring and hydraulic shock, while the rear end is propped upright with a
pair of shock asborbers featuring four-position pre-load. Two-channel ABS is
standard fitment, paired with traction control, with the front and rear wheels
stopped by 220 mm stainless steel discs.
The Super 300 rolls on 12-inch hoops front and back,
shod in 120/70 and 130/70 tubeless rubber, respectively. The LED headlight is a
new feature for the Super 300 GTS, along with an LCD instrument panel with
analogue speedometer and electric remote saddle opening.
Rider conveniences include a USB port for easy charging
of electronic devices, standard anti-theft immobiliser and bike finder feature.
There are four colour options for the 2018 Vespa GTS Super 300 – Monte Bianco
(White), Verde Spreanza (Green), Grigio Titanio (Grey) and Giallo Gelosia
(Yellow).
